Day Four

Another stinker 35º on the patio. Not much else one can do but plank yourself on a lounger and soak up that sunshine. However we did go for our walk and came across this gent General George Grivas.
Grivas focussed on the idea of liberating Cyprus from British colonial rule and the aim of Union with Greece. As a member of the secret Committee for the Cyprus Struggle he took the oath of Enosis together with the newly elected Archbishop Makarios III, with whom he collaborated for preparing the armed struggle. He arrived secretly in Cyprus in November 1954 and began immediately the formation of his guerrilla organization EOKA. On April 1, 1955 with a declaration that he signed as DIGENIS and a number of explosions in the four major cities and military installations, he announced the beginning of his campaign for Self Determination - Union with Greece.
