The many faces and logic of violence: exploring non-ethnic conflict-related violence in Cyprus, 1955-64

Rock-hard nation: building a homogenous ethnic community and the politics of unanimity

Τέσσερις προσωπιδοφόροι μπήκαν σε καφενείο, διέταξαν τοους θαμώνες να σηκώσουν τα χέρια τους και να στραφούν προς τον τοίχο. Τους πήραν τα χρήματα και απείλησαν ότι αν μιλήσουν στην αστυνομία θα τους εκτελέσουν. Οι προσωπιδοφόροι δεν μιλούσαν καλά την ελληνική γλώσσα.

Four EOKA fighters entered the cafe, ordered the barflies to raise their hands and look to the wall. They took their money and threatened them not to speak to the police otherwise they would execute them. The EOKA fighters, it was said, were not talking Greek properly.
