The Genocide Files

Description

The Genocide Files is a thorough research into the so-called "Cyprus problem." It exposes the bias of the United Nations Organisation towards the Cyprus Turks, and its apparent inability to protect them against their more numerous and militarily more powerful co-inhabitants of the island, the Greek Cypriots. The book describes how the Greek fixation with Enosis - union with Greece - led to a one-sided war against the Turks and the brutal massacres of their men, women and children. Harry Scott Gibbons explodes the myth that Greeks and Turks had lived happily together from independence in 1960 until 1974 when the Turkish armed forces, without reason or provocation, attacked Cyprus and divided the island between the two races. And he explains how the Turkish intervention came only after the mainland Greek-led coup which caused a war of Greek against Greek in which 2,000 Greeks and Greek Cypriots died in five days, the reason Turkey called its action the "Peace Operation." The operation also discovered, in a series of secret documents captured by the Turkish forces, a cold-blooded plan to wipe out the entire Turkish-Cypriot population, documents that the author calls The Genocide Files. His book does not make for pleasant reading. An authentic tale of brutality never does.
