I misled them. I was made a liar, deliberately, by the Government of Cyprus. Governments can not afford to tell lies as they loose their credibility. Now it seems that the credibility of Cyprus is nil. Consecutive Greek Cypriot governments lied to the relatives of missing persons, to the people of Cyprus, to the United Nations and to the world community.
Shame is perhaps too meaningless a word.
Respect is due to those, who, even late in the day, had the courage to tell the bitter truth. I saw a young Greek Cypriot buried alive. That was when two Junta officers came to my house and ordered me to accompany them to the cemetery. I thought they were going to kill me, but they said they only wanted me for burying some dead people. In the cemetery there were two open graves and two bodies lying beside them.
