According to the Google Search I've conducted based upon your information on Enosis squads, quite a few -- there are differing numbers, and I'm still reading the information. Of course, if we want to go through this exercise, we may also want to count the number of Greeks and Turks killed on the border during incursions and skirmishes. Does one offset the other?
The Greek/Turkish issue has roots that go much further back than Cyprus. I'm sure you won't disagree. Turkey occupied Greece for hundreds of years and has always been viewed as an aggressor (they certainly had the upper hand didn't they?) -- there weren't a lot of positive feelings around that on either side.

If that's the mindset, then treaties between Greece and Turkey are not worth soiled toilet paper. I don't buy that argument. Some of us live in the here and now. Endless blood-feuds are for backward thinking creatures whom I consider as being lesser to animals..
