176370   6 Turkey and her lies - the case of "the incitement to murder and civil war of the Turkish Cypriot population by means of radio broadcasts and newspapers from Turkey" Mr. F. Noel-Baker asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps the Government of Cyprus will take to prevent the incitement to murder and civil war of the Turkish Cypriot population by means of radio broadcasts and newspapers from Turkey.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd Her Majesty's Government have made the strongest representations to the Turkish Government about the tone and content of recent broadcasts and newspaper articles The Cyprus Press censor has on one occasion prevented the circulation of Turkish newspapers and will do so again whenever necessary." ?

PS Mark it that I don't demand any enlightement from you on the Armenian genocide , the Greek genocide, the Assyrian genocide and the Kurdish genocide and all the other crimes against humanity and war crimes, robebries, extortions, raids and massacres committed by the Turks during the Republican time and staunchly denied by the perpetrators !
