“Bloody Christmas”: Here is a look back at how Greek Cypriot nationalist terror group EOKA systematically slaughtered hundreds of Turkish Cypriots 58 years ago
The bloody campaign led to the displacement of 30,000 Turkish Cypriots, who had to take shelter in an area constituting merely 3 percent of the island.
Until Cyprus attained independence from the United Kingdom on August 16, 1960 on the guarantee of the UK, Turkiye, and Greece, the death toll of the EOKA's ferocious and deadly terror campaign included at least 104 British soldiers, 54 police officers and 238 civilians, including 203 Greek Cypriots, seven Turkish Cypriots, and 26 British.
The Akritas operated under the guidance of Greek Cypriot officers and used arms obtained from the government armories. Storming the home of Turkish military doctor Nihat Ilhan, they killed not only Ilhan's wife Muruvet and three sons, Murat, Kutsi, and Hakan, but also the wife of his landlord, Feride Gudum.
