Karmi

• I used to stay in this pretty village pre 1974. I read on the Internet that because the houses had tumbled down they were built up again by Brits, Germans , French , Austrian etc. Did it ever occur to anyone to ask how it got in this tumbledown state. It was because the village was flattened by the Turks in 1974 and its inhabitants murdered. It makes me sick to my soul to think how anyone can contiuue to live peacefully in a place that was so drenched in blood. And what did the villagers of Karmi do to deserve their dreadful fate? They happened to be Greek! I hope that one day their decendants will come back to claim their land. And it will serve the present inhabitants right. It does no good to benefit by others misfortunes and I really hope all the chickens will come home to roost one day. Much as I love Karmi, I cannot bring myself to go back and see it. I do go to Kyrenia but it is a sad place for me now. The people I once knew are gone and with them has gone the heart of the town. And I know I would feel the same way about Karmi.
