...wish i could agree with you guys, it seems he became the person you remember.
What started, according to his brother, in a radio shack at the airport, were reactions we can imagine from anyone shot at, by British troops in an undisciplined fashion, that it disturbed him. Ignored, by the very institution he admired the most, the British Army, (which to him represented, order,) he became a Hero to those, from it, who had the same fear.
Indeed, GLADIO, existed quite actively then. Anti-"communist", the representative of a bigger Occidental world he was a part of and dreams he felt were incomplete with Independence, it was not hard to recruit him, i imagine, he became a part of "them", not EOKA but EOKAB, (and in affect, not Cypriot).
He is indeed a hero, what he was willing to commit to, on Principal, and against a power ruling the world. And such an irony. sadly, with what he became, given Che and Castro's praise for him, as their inspiration, against the same fear they experienced themselves.
Like Denkltash, someone else, an odd hero; why after so long, did he, open the gates, i ask. To their dying days they both professed a dying love to the notions tearing us apart: "Greekness" and "Turkishness". Like anything in Cyprus that should be simple, it is complicated; given that these "games" are being played on a bigger field by bigger players.
...such as it is, our "being" as Individuals is being usurped by our being Persons as well.
