EOKA was headed by Georgios Grivas, a Greek Army officer, World War I and World War II veteran. During the Axis occupation of Greece in World War II, he led a small, anti-communist resistance [b] group, named Organization X. [23] [24] During the anti-communist struggle of December 1944 in Athens after the Axis withdrawal he was saved due to British intervention. [25] Grivas assumed the nom de guerre Digenis in direct reference to the legendary Byzantine Digenis Akritas who repelled invaders from the Byzantine Empire. [26] Second in command in EOKA was Grigoris Afxentiou, also a former officer of the Greek army. Afxentiou had graduated from the reserves Officers Academy in 1950 without previous experience on battlefield. [27] Objectives [ edit ] The authorities of the Republic of Cyprus consider the EOKA struggle as a struggle of national liberation and its members as heroic freedom fighters. [145] The day of the beginning of the EOKA campaign, 1 April, is considered a national anniversary in the country today. [146] [147] Turkish nationalist narrative as written in a Turkish-Cypriot textbook considers the struggle of EOKA's guerillas as barbaric and illegal with the conclusion that "Cyprus is and will remain Turkish" (p.61)."

The presiding judge dismissed arguments by the British government that the case should be judged under Cypriot law, which, if true, would have meant that the statute of limitations applied in the case. The judge commented that "It seems to me that, in this case at any rate, where a state stands to be held to account for acts of violence against its citizens, it should be held to account in its own courts, by its own law and should not escape liability by reference to a colonial law it has itself made."

On the storage side of the equation, the Medion Akoya E15303 runs a Phison SATA SSD with around 500MB/s sequential read and write performance, plus 35MB/s 4K read and 95MB/s 4K writes. It’s a pretty old-school drive and not nearly as fast as the latest PCIe SSDs. It’s one fairly obvious area where money has been saved. There is an additional M.2 SSD expansion slot. But it, too, is limited to SATA rather than PCIe operation. Novo, Andrew R. (2010). On all fronts: EOKA and the Cyprus insurgency, 1955-1959 (PhD thesis). Oxford University, UK.Kizilyurek 2011, pp.198–199: Kizilyurek clearly states: " The Turkish Cypriot nationalism mainly developed in reaction to the Greek Cypriot national desire for union with Greece."

The organization adopted typical Greek national ideologies and displayed religious, conservative and anticommunist ideas. [2] [3] This was in agreement with the prevailing ideas of Cypriot society at the time. [28] [29] There was a widespread belief that leftists opposed national objectives and provided a certain support to the colonial regime [30] contrary to other contemporary anti-colonial insurgencies in Africa or Asia, which were led by Marxists. [31] After graduating from high school, Ayoka pursued higher education at Kansas State University, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2021.

The raising of the Greek flag during demonstrations usually led to clashes with the colonial authorities, the latter removing it by force if necessary.
