(Greek Ethniki Organosis Kipriakou Agonos
`National Organization of Cypriot Struggle')
an underground organization formed by General
George Grivas 1955 to fight for the
independence of Cyprus from Britain and
ultimately its union (enosis) with Greece. In
1971, 11 years after the independence of
Cyprus, Grivas returned to the island to form
EOKA B and to resume the fight for enosis,
which had not been achieved by the Cypriot
government.
