[edit] EOKA vs AKEL

I made the following edit, which I trust is NPOV.

"During the late fifties, AKEL was opposed to the violent tactics followed by the anti-British resistance movement of EOKA. AKEL divulged to the authorities that George Grivas was leader of EOKA, and EOKA accused AKEL as collaborators of the British. The animosity between the two sides became violent. Several AKEL and EOKA members were assasinated at the time, including AKEL-supporter Savas Menikou who was stoned to death."

[edit] See my edit at EOKA

The british probably knew anyway that Grivas was the leader, but it was the Communist Party of Greece through its radio station beaming from Eastern Europe that named him as the leader of EOKA, not AKEL. Also your edit implies that AKEL was killing EOKA members, which is rather far away from the truth. Mavros 13:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reword

is a communist party in Cyprus, taking into account current international political and economic developments. - somebody with more knowledge should reword that Sherurcij (talk) (bounties) 20:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

"It supports entry into the European Union with certain reservations." which are...anyone knows???--Morrisphillip 23:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] killings

AKEL supported Papadopoulos in 2003 despite the fact that he was an active EOKA member who publicly approved AKEL supporters killings. His flyers, signed by his hand under the nickname "Defkalion" can be found at http://www.makarios.ws/

[edit] Is it really communist?

I hear (from Cypriots) they own quite a lot of capital and they are pro-free market. Are they only in name? --Leladax (talk) 22:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC) -- Neither in name. It's not Communist Party of Cyprus (CPC) anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.228.251.9 (talk) 12:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
