Please send us news on all the demonstrations which are going on around the
world so we can post them.

We refuse to forget the Turkish Crimes committed by Turkish invasion on 20th
July 1974. Our sacred Hellenic land has been under barbaric Turkish occupation
for too long. Every patriotic Hellene who cannot forget and will not forget
Turkey’s Crimes against Hellenic people should participate.

In the words of Cypriot student activist Paris Stylianides:” We have reached
melting point. Hellenism is striving to survive on this island…”

Η ΚΥΠΡΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΚΑΙ ΟΧΙ ΤΟΥΡΚΙΚΗ ΓΙΑ ΣΥΝΕΤΑΙΡΙΣΜΟ ΜΕ ΤΟ 18%

Νομίζω η πιο κάτω ξεκάθαρη ιστορική επιβεβαίωση της Ελληνικότητας της Κύπρου
μας, που βρήκα στην ιστοσελίδα του Βρετ. Υπ. ΄Αμυνας και που κυκλοφόρησα το 2006
(και την είχε αναρτήσει και ο κ.Χάρης Κυριακίδης στην αξιόλογη ιστοσελίδα του
κρίμα που έμεινε στάσιμη), θα πρέπει να προβάλλεται παντού και πάντοτε. Ως ένα
μπούμεραγκ στην διαστρεύλωση που επιχειρούν οι ίδιοι οι Βρετανοί, οι υποτελείς
τους δικοί μας, οι ανεγκέφαλοι και ανιστόρητοι δικοί μας και ξένοι και κυρίως οι
υπεύθυνοι της Παιδείας και εκείνοι οι λεγόμενοι εκπαιδευτικοί που εργολαβικά
δουλεύουν για την πλαστογράφηση της Ιστορίας μας. Και βέβαια οι συγγραφείς του
τερατουργήματος Ανάν/Χάνει μεταξύ των οποίων και δικοί μας, αλλά, και ο
σημερινός πρόεδρος Δημήτρης Χριστόφιας μαζί με τις επιτροπές του που
διαπραγματεύονται δίχως όρους εντολής την διάλυση της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας και
τον συνεταιρισμό με το 18% των Τουρκοκυπρίων για εξυπηρέτηση των τουρκικών
συμφερόντων.

Cyprus History

Few countries can trace the course of their history over 10,000 years, but in
approximately 8,000 BC the island of Cyprus was already inhabited and going
through its Neolithic Age. Of all the momentous events that were to sweep the
country through the next few thousand years, one of the most crucial was the
discovery of copper - or Kuprum in Latin - the mineral which took its name from
“Kypros”, the Greek name of Cyprus, and generated untold wealth.
The island’s strategic position, its copper deposits and its timber attracted
the first Greeks who came to the island over 3,000 years ago at the end of the
Trojan wars. They settled down, bringing in with them and establishing the
Greek identity.

Over the centuries Cyprus came under the sway of various rulers including the
Egyptians. Assyrians, Persians, the successors to Alexander the Great and the
Romans, before Cyprus became part of the Byzantine Empire. Later came the
Crusaders, the Frankish Lusignans and Venetians, Ottomans and British.
Cyprus gained its independence in 1960, for the first time in 3,500 years, but
the Greek identity of language and culture has been retained.

Εξωτερικών και Κοινοπολιτείας, στην ιστοσελίδα του Βρετ. Υπουργείου Άμυνας
(2006) υπογραμμίζεται, με τον πλέον ξεκάθαρο τρόπο η Ελληνικότητα της νήσου
Κύπρος.

Ιστορία της Κύπρου
Λίγες χώρες έχουν ιστορία πάνω από 10,000 χρόνια, όμως σχεδόν 8,000 χρόνια προ
Χριστού η νήσος Κύπρος ήταν ήδη κατοικημένη και διένυε την Νεολιθική εποχή της.
Μία από τις πλέον σημαντικές ανασκαφές που έγιναν στην χώρα αυτή μέσα από τις
επόμενες χιλιάδες χρόνια, ήταν η ανακάλυψη του χαλκού, copper, ή Kuprum στα
Λατινικά, από το οποίο και πήρε το όνομα Κύπρος, η ελληνική ονομασία της Κύπρου.

Η στρατηγική θέση της νήσου, τα αποθέματα χαλκού και η ξυλεία της ήσαν εκείνα
που έφεραν τους πρώτους Έλληνες στο νησί πριν 3,000 και τόσα χρόνια προς το
τέλος των Τρωικών πολέμων. Εγκαταστάθηκαν στο νησί, φέρνοντας μαζί τους και
δημιουργώντας την Ελληνική ταυτότητα.

Δια μέσου των αιώνων η Κύπρος πέρασε από πολλούς δυνάστες, περιλαμβανομένων των
Αιγυπτίων, Ασσύριων, Περσών, που αντικατέστησαν τον Μέγα Αλέξανδρο και τους
Ρωμαίους, προτού η Κύπρος γίνει μέρος της Βυζαντινής αυτοκρατορίας. Αργότερα
ήλθαν οι σταυροφόροι, οι Φράγκοι, Λουσινιανοί και Ενετοί, οι Οθωμανοί και οι
Βρετανοί.

Η Κύπρος κέρδισε την ανεξαρτησία της το 1960, για πρώτη φορά μετά από 3,500
χρόνια, όμως η ελληνική ταυτότητα της γλώσσας και πολιτισμού έχει διατηρηθεί.
