April 1955 CE

In Nicosia the radio station is blown up.

Grivas circulates his first proclamation as leader of EOKA under his code name Dighenis (a hero of Cypriot mythology), and what will be a four-year revolutionary struggle is launched.

According to captured EOKA documents, Cypriot communists are not to be accepted for membership and are enjoined to stand clear of the struggle if they are sincerely interested in enosis.

The Turkish Cypriots are described as compatriots in the effort against an alien ruler; they too are simply asked to stand clear, to refrain from opposition, and to avoid any alliance with the British.
