<b>EOKAb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <b>EOKAb>'s activity continued until December 1958 when a cease-fire was declared which paved the way for the Zurich agreement on the future of the country. The <b>EOKAb> aim to rid Cyprus of British rule was met when on 16 August 1960 Cyprus achieved independence from the United Kingdom. Its military campaign began on April 1, 1955 and while its main target was the British military, the <b>EOKAb> also targeted civilian installations on the island as well as assassinating pro-British Cypriots, informants, Communists, Taksim (partition) supporters, and members of the Turkish Cypriot insurgent organisation, the Turkish Resistance Organization. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/EOKA   (696 words)

In September 1955, sixteen <b>EOKAb> terrorists escaped from Kyrenia Castle and this shattered public confidence in the Islands administration, the burning of the British institute in Metazas Square in Nicosia on 17th September persuaded the British Government of the seriousness of the situation. The <b>EOKAb>'s cause was severely damaged, but the assault on the British armed forces continued with two RAF men killed on 11th November by a bomb in a NAAFI establishment. www.britains-smallwars.com /cyprus/war.html   (1750 words)

The Renewal of <b>EOKAb> Violence Faced with the rising hostility of the people, <b>EOKAb> tried to justify the incidents by alleging that the <b>EOKAb> men were forced to open fire in self-defence, that <b>EOKAb>'s blows were aimed at traitors irrespective of political ideologies, and that no plan existed to exterminate the left wing as a whole. In September the new Mukhtar of Asha was marched to the church by an <b>EOKAb> gang, tied to the door and a placard bearing the word 'traitor' tied round his neck.

The Turkish Cypriots were therefore already discussing during British rule and under the pressures of the <b>EOKAb> revolt, solutions--federation and partition--which logically would require an exchange of populations on, proportionately, an immense scale (for example, the movement of more Greek Cypriots than the entire Turkish Cypriot population) to make them feasible. www.cyprus-conflict.net /narrative-main.htm   (5375 words)
