- THEY ARE TURK-HUNTING, THEY WANT TO EXTERMINATE THEM.
-
- Discussions start in London; in Cyprus terror continues. Right now we
- are witnessing the exodus of Turks from the villages. Thousands of people
- abandoning homes, land, herds; Greek Cypriot terrorism is relentless. This
- time, the rhetoric of the Hellenes and the bust of Plato do not suffice to
- cover up barbaric and ferocious behaviors.

- AN APPALLING SIGHT
-
- And when I came across the Turkish homes they were an appalling sight.
- Apart from the walls, they just did not exist. I doubt if a napalm bomb
- attack could have created more devastation. I counted 40 blackened brick
- and concrete shells that had once been homes. Each house had been deliberately
- fired by petrol. Under red tile roofs which had caved in, I found a twisted
- mass of bed springs, children's conts and cribs, and ankle deep grey
- ashes of what had once been chairs, tables and wardrobes.
-
- In the neighbouring village of Ayios Vassilios, a mile away, I counted 16
- wrecked and burned out homes. They were all Turkish Cypriot homes. From
- this village more than 100 Turkish Cypriots had also vanished.In neither village
- did I find a scrap of damage to any Greek Cypriot house.

- GRAVES OF 12 SHOT TURKISH CYPRIOTS FOUND IN CYPRUS VILLAGE
-
- Silent crowds gathered tonight outside the Red Crescent hospital in the
- Turkish Sector of Nicosia, as the bodies of 9 Turkish Cypriots found
- crudely buried outside the village of Ayios Vassilios, 13 miles away, were
- brought to the hospital under the escort of the Parachute Regiment. Three
- more bodies, including one of a woman, were discovered nearby but could
- not be removed. Turkish Cypriots guarded by paratroops are still trying to
- locate the bodies of 20 more believed to have been buried on the same site.

- We closed the roads and mountain passes that might
