Now we know that along with them have been added the Greek Cypriot ‘rapprochement’ state intellectuals and social-patriots. How else could we explain the fact that these gentlemen invite representatives from all the supposedly re-reunificationist areas to such a meeting - for representatives of various areas and political organisations are involved, and the tricks of personal invitations are always the same - and leave out a political organisation whose contribution to the unmasking of Greek Cypriot nationalism and to the cause of reunification has been substantial. How else could we explain the fact that some of us from the more general autonomous-antiauthoritarian-internationalist milieu in Limassol (and not only), while initially invited to participate in the meeting, are then excluded from all the processes of constituting this initiative by not being notified of the meetings-discussions of the Greek Cypriots participating in this meeting and which preceded today's meeting in Ledra Palace. No, we are not pretending to be the lawyer of [[en:groups:ergatikidimokratia|Workers' Democracy]] [Ergatiki Dimokratia], nor are we agents of Denktaş, as EPIKAIRI will have informed you, dear Greek Cypriot ‘rapprochers’. It is just that all this makes Stalin turn in his grave with joy feeling proud of the descendants he left on this planet. For if Stalin had suppressed by brute force an entire revolutionary movement because they simply disagreed with him, these gentlemen, with the power granted to them by the Greek Cypriot state, are suppressing by the force of exclusion a part - if not the whole - of the internationalist-revolutionary milieu that was built mainly around the [[en:groups:epitropi_simparastasis_parpa|committee of support for conscientious objector Giannis Parpas]], who is still in prison for believing in Reunification and refusing to take up arms against the Turkish Cypriots. This meeting is not about rapprochement. This meeting is part of the plan of the Greek Cypriot state which is looking forward to spreading its totalitarian rule on the island. The Turkish Cypriots are again the instrument whose desire and need for another life as well as their disgust for the militaristic regime of the TRNC is now being exploited by the "leftist public relations ministry" of the Greek Cypriot state. Because when the Turkish Cypriots attend these meetings they do so at the risk of losing their heads while the Greek Cypriot state intellectuals do so with the blessing of KEMA and its technocrats. But let's see where all these present-day "re-appropriationists" were when they had to "risk their heads" for this purpose. The magazine [[en:magazines:entostonteixon|'Within the Walls']] [Entos ton Teihon] - whose people organise these meetings from the Greek Cypriot side - even devoted an entire issue to the chauvinist women's marches. Now about their 'indifference' to the issue of Parpas, the increase in the army levy, Alexia and Jegis, we admit that we have no argument against the magazine since it is obviously declared social-patriotic. For them the only thing worth dealing with is the ‘Independence’ of the Greek Cypriot state, even if this would have to step on the throats of the whole society and much more so the Turkish Cypriot community as it was the case before 1974. For ‘Entos’ there is no necessity to form an internationalist front to defend against the rise of nationalism. Of course, since ‘Entos’ has its own ‘defences’, its editors will tell us. But the truth is that the ‘Entos’ is not even under attack. The [[en:groups:aristeripteriga|left wing of the EDEK]].....eh this left wing of the most chauvinistic party sold G. Parpas (of which he was a member until recently) only to thicken his skin and to learn to comply with the ideological dictates of the ‘people's militia’ of the organization's leaders. They even called the man a green and Jehovah’s Witness. Who? Those who are [[en:magazines:entostonteixon:no_41:berlin|currently involved in an initiative]] that is under the high protection of the green modernists in the European Parliament. As for the newspaper EMPROS, which openly supports the chauvinist marches and the arming of the National Guard, we did not understand what it can have to do with the rapprochement, just as we did not understand what EDON youth, who have even held events to raise money for the army, have anything to do with it. Moreover, while a large part of the Turkish Cypriots have many times openly expressed themselves against the Turkish army, again at the risk of their heads, who among all these main Greek Cypriot rapprochers ever spoke about the massacres of Turkish Cypriots in 1963-1974, 1967 and even 1974 (after the coup and before the invasion). Which of them actually got under the skin of the Turkish Cypriots before 1974 to say that indeed the Greek contingent and the National Guard were for them an occupation army. For all of them rapprochement is a romantic stroll back to the years of independence when Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots were supposedly living happily together. A lie and you all know it.
