Grivas thought there was a professional army of \u2018Y\u00f6r\u00fcks\u2019 [<em>Editor&#8217;s note: Turkish ethnic subgroup of nomads<\/em>] in the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, trenches over the hills around the village were manned by none other than \u2018mujahideen\u2019, the age of children&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total number of mujahideen was 313, anyway. Twenty-four people, almost all of whom I knew closely, were martyred during these attacks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0130smail Bozkurt, who was the Turkish Deputy Commander of the region at the time, explains in detail in his book \u2018Zirk\u00f6y\u2019den Mermertepe\u2019ye\u2019 [<em>From Zirk\u00f6y to Mermertepe<\/em>] that he did not follow the \u2018orders\u2019 from the Larnaca Sanjak regarding the \u2018closure\u2019 of the Turkish barricade at the entrance of Agios Theodoros village to Greek Cypriot military vehicles in order not to cause a disaster. (Page 528)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bozkurt says that on 15 November 1967, at the Mujahideen Headquarters in K\u00f6f\u00fcnye [<em>Kofinou<\/em>], Turkish Commander Mr. Deniz was waiting by the radio, Candemir \u00d6nhon and \u00dcnal \u00dcnsal from the Turkish Embassy in Nicosia were accompanying him, and that Mr. Deniz looked at Candemir \u00d6nhon&#8217;s face as if to say \u201cWhat should we do?\u201d, and when \u00d6nhon nodded his head \u201cyes\u201d, the order to \u201cfire\u201d at Greek Cypriot vehicles coming to the barricade was given&#8230; Bozkurt also tells in detail in this book, as someone who took part in the events, that \u201call hell broke loose\u201d when this order of \u201cfire\u201d was given, that the valley of Pendaskhinos turned into hell, that the ring of fire surrounded both villages&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the villages of Kofinou-Agios Theodoros came under the control of Greek Cypriot armed forces, Turkey gave a strong ultimatum, and Greek soldiers and Grivas had to return to Greece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the aftermath of these events, the Greek Cypriot administration removed the barricades it had set up on the roads since 1963, the tension between the two communities diminished, and a period of \u2018d\u00e9tente\u2019 commenced. Subsequently, negotiations between the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot sides began.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For years, the ghetto of Kofinou was almost like a \u2018hot potato\u2019 in the region&#8230; The region was ruled by commanders sent from Turkey and some of them exerted \u2018unfettered power\u2019&#8230; Just before the clashes of 15 November, a Turkish officer with the code name \u2018\u00c7etin\u2019, a commander in the region, had turned the area upside down and established an \u2018empire of fear\u2019&#8230; He constantly harassed the Greek Cypriot villages in the vicinity, putting the people of the region at risk. Due to some of the commander&#8217;s actions, the Greek Cypriot police started to \u2018retaliate\u2019, arresting, taking hostages and punishing innocent people on the roads&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the term of this Commander, who remained in office until September 1967, the region had turned into \u2018hell\u2019. There were booby traps, roadblocks, detentions&#8230; The villagers called this Commander \u2018\u00c7etin the Lunatic\u2019&#8230; In fact, underlying this \u2018harshness\u2019 was the fact that Mr. G\u00fcnay, the first Turkish Commander who came to the region on 15 November 1966, exactly one year before the Kofinou incidents, had fallen victim to an organised murder while trying to overthrow the \u2018squiredom\u2019 in Kofinou. Upon the murder of the Commander, the Larnaca Sanjaktar Office took very harsh measures, imposed very severe measures of \u2018Martial Law\u2019 in the village, and started a manhunt. The fate of some of the villagers associated with the murder remains unknown, even today. On 15 November 1967, exactly one year later, before the deep traces of the murder of 15 November 1966 had cleared, the people of the region, especially those who lost family members and friends, lived in the grip of this deep \u2018trauma\u2019 for years&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not possible to understand how the Turkish Cypriots got to this point without knowing the effects of the \u2018Kofinou incidents\u2019 on our recent history.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halkinsesikibris.com\/oteki-15-kasim-gecitkale-bogazici-olaylari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE OTHER 15 NOVEMBER: KOFINOU-AGIOS THEODOROS INCIDENTS\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/penna.cydialogue.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17352?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/penna.cydialogue.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><span class=\"pdfprnt-button-title pdfprnt-button-print-title\">Print<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the week of 15 November arrives, jingoism goes through the roof&#8230; Rampant nationalism loses control&#8230; In this\u00a0atmosphere of \u2018toxic smoke\u2019, no one talks about what declaring a \u2018separatist\u2019 state in the northern part of Cyprus has cost us.
