  Marking EOKA anniversary=20

  VETERANS of EOKA, the National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters, will =
today celebrate the anniversary of the start of the uprising from =
British colonial rule, with a series of events.

  EOKA (Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston) was a Greek Cypriot =
organisation that fought for the end of British colonial rule on the =
island, for self-determination and for union with Greece in the mid to =
late 1950s.

  The organisation was headed by George Grivas, a Cyprus-born Colonel in =
the Greek army who distinguished himself during World War II and fought =
in the subsequent Greek civil war. Grivas assumed the =E2=80=98nom de =
guerre=E2=80=99 Digenis in honour of the Byzantine legend Digenis =
Akritas, who repelled invaders from the Byzantine Empire during the =
middle ages.=20

  EOKA was clandestinely supported by the Greek government in the form =
of arms, money and propaganda on radio stations aired from Athens.

  Its guerrilla campaign began on April 1, 1955 when the group targeted =
British military and civilian installations on the island. It later also =
targeted Greek and Turkish Cypriot collaborators and informants.=20

  April 1 is now a national holiday. It is celebrated in memorial =
services in churches and gatherings in cities and villages in the free =
parts of Cyprus.=20
