Wow. That's a great logo. But, in the city of Komotini, a former 
Greek Parliamentarian of Turkish parentage, was sentenced recently 
to 18 months of imprisonment with no right to appeal, just for saying 
outloud that he was of Turkish descent. This duly-elected ethnic 
Turkish official was also deprived of his political rights for a 
period of three years. Each one of these barbaric and terrorist acts
seems to be none other than a vehicle, used by the Greek governments,
to cover-up their inferiority complex they display, vis-a-vis, the 
people of Turkiye. Nobody has the right to ask the people of Turkiye to 
go through another decade of nightmare just so that the Greek governments 
could give another chance to the Greek Army to slaughter more innocent 
Turks. Greeks had their chance between 1960 and 1974. But they proved 
beyond any doubt that Turkish lives and rights mean nothing next to the 
intoxication of their Pan-Hellenistic utopias. 

The Turkish action is in conformity with Turkish history, law and 
tradition, let alone with the international law. In 1974 the Junta 
of Greek Colonels sent in a terrorist by the name of Sampson, who 
toppled Makarios' government and began preparations to have Cyprus 
annexed to 'democratic' Greece. At the same time the Greek-Cypriots 
began wholesale massacres of Turkish villagers to simply eliminate
the Turkish Cypriots. It was this event that forced the Turkish 
Army to land in Cyprus on July 20, 1974 and to secure the Northern
part of the island. All Turks were moved to the North and eventually
that led to the formation of the Turkish Republic of Northern 
Cyprus, where Turks can now live unmolested and free. The 'democratic'
government of Greece did not go to war, but its large force on the
Island was badly defeated. The Greeks could not swallow this defeat.
There is a Turkish saying that one cannot cover up the sun with
mud.

It is also somewhat ironic to hear the name of Greek governments
mentioned in international terrorist meetings. In July 1982, a 
mere day after his interview over the telephone with the prominent 
French Journalist, Charles Villenevue (the same person who later 
interviewed terrorist Melkonian), Hagopian was falsely reported by 
ASALA as having been killed in Beirut by an Israeli air raid. Instead, 
he apparently shifted his activities to Greece and Syria, and began a 
working relationship with the anti-PLO Palestinian radical Abu-Nidal.
