CYPRUS, Nicosia 15 of July 2014,
In the cemetery of Ayios Constantinos and Elenis but in separate sections are buried citizens,
soldiers and police officers were killed during the 1974 coup aimed at union (Enosis) with Greece, the morning of 15th of July 1974 were battles, against Cypriot Greek Orthodox Archbishop and president Makarios at the Presidential Palace.
Today Greek Cypriot officials “Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades, Cypriot Greek Orthodox Archbishop Chrysostomos II,
members from political parties and families of soldiers and police officers killed during the 1974 coup, attends at the ceremony
Another black anniversary, a holiday memory, forgetfulness and political agenda
sirens sound in the city, a rehearsal and a backdrop of very bad director
The focus for an hour, the graves, two words, wreaths, relatives, politicians.
40 years passed much to remember and so little for the pain
I do not know what happened and probably Ι will not ever know
Officially???? History always is written by the victors
behind the scene so many rumors, more mutterings and murmurings, the people say, say a lot,
I really do not know,
once the story will be rewritten, there are gaps, I wish to look more like the truth that the dead be vindicated, need for them,
we do not need it … we prove it daily, do not read the story, not taught, so make the same mistakes
exactly the same, bet as self harm
Two separate rooms in the same cemetery, Two different ceremonies, two memorial services away from each other,
twice the national anthem, for perpetrators and for victims,
ones … and those ….. did….. they know,
God rest their souls..
they know …..
