Event in memory of Tassos Isaac and Solomos Solomou
Topic tags
CyprusAN EVENT has been organised to mark the 14th anniversary of the murder of Tassos Isaac and Solomos Solomou.
Isaac, 25, was beaten to death by a Turkish mob during an anti-occupation demonstration in the buffer zone in Dhekelia on August 11, 1996, which was organised by bikers.
Three days later, immediately after Isaac’s funeral in Paralimni, his cousin Solomou, 26, was shot in the neck as he climbed a flagpole in the same area to remove a Turkish flag.
On Sunday August 8 a group of young bikers wishing to preserve the memory of Isaac and Solomou, are organising an event in Paralimni.
The bikers will visit Paralimni cemetery where Isaac and Solomou are buried. This will include speeches, and the presentation of plaques to Isaac’s and Solomou’s parents. This will be followed by a concert.
Participants are required to wear a helmet and the t-shirts given to them at the meeting points.
The organisation made it clear it has nothing to do with political parties, football teams or any other organisations therefore participants are asked not to wear any other t-shirts with logos.
The invitation is open to the public as long as they follow the police’s guidelines, an announcement said.
The meeting points and times for bikers are: Nicosia- Oktagono Kiosk 7.30am, Limasol- Orphanides 7.30am, Larnaca- Rizoelia roundabout 8am and Famagusta- - Ayia Napa roundabout 8.30am.

"Christoph from USA" is in fact a North London electrician who sometimes poses as "Hassan Kemal from Kyrenia" but always writes crap.
Christoph from USA comments:
Change your own lightbulbs, James. Only a Brit or Scot could be so stupid as to not be able to change his own light bulbs. You probably need directions how to piss without emptying your bladder into your shorts.

BNP Lochcsitz pathetic attempt at NAZI humour. You need to sort that head pointer before sending in the jokes. You have some front sending in your comment on this article. Maybe when somebody guns you down in cold blood, we can all send in the Bob Monkeyhouse jokes. Your sick.

@Christoph from USA
...or from wherever you may hail ... IMHO as well as others' distinguished opinion, it has always been the Greek Cypriots who have excelled in playing the blame- and victim-game. Too bad the TCs have been less than knowledgeable or cunning in this PR game that GCs have been winning hands down ever since the mid-60s.
The fact that YOU are saying "they are playing the victim, etc..." doesnt't also mean that's true, right, Christoph?
C'mon, be honest, for once...

"And how typical of the Turk who comments on this story to equate the murders of Isaac and Solomou with the death of a Turk soldier the week after – which had nothing to do with Greek Cypriots."
The excel at playing the victim, all the time being the criminals. It's an old, old tactic with Turks.

Amen!
John Alexander from London comments:
May their memories be eternal.
And how typical of the Turk who comments on this story to equate the murders of Isaac and Solomou with the death of a Turk soldier the week after – which had nothing to do with Greek Cypriots. There is nothing these people won't do, no lie they won't tell, to justify barbarism. Truly disgusting.
paul from IRELAND comments:
agree with you totally christoph, you darent mention things like this to them or varosha or settlers, or desecration it just invites a torrent of hatred
Christoph from USA comments:
The sad thing is the murderers are still allowed to walk freely in the north. Where are all our resident Turk supporters with this article? Hiding in shame?
Fred comments:
While they are doing all that, can they find it in their hearts to also commemorate the Turkish Cypriot mucahid killed by Greek Cypriots the following week and also spare a thought to the other mucahit which was critically injured in the same incident.
