Bir Zamanlar Kibris

Another very accurate TV series from TRT1. Screen writing astonishingly good as well as editing, cast, historic sense of a particular period of time etc. However it's more than a movie, it sets the history right. And this reality would be never forgotten because when we forget these massacres, these merciless acts keep happening again like Sarajevo, like other parts of Bosnia, like Hocali etc.

It is sometimes very hard to watch especially if you witnessed that period with your own eyes. I can't describe my feelings about it. Please make whole world witness this horrible events as well as real heroes achievements. Sometimes people prefer to believe bunch of lies but I hope at least some of them wake up to the reality after this film.

I can highly recommend this series, it is factual and based on the genocide of the Turkish Cypriot people by the Greeks. It is captivating and heart breaking. A must watch.

I find the review titled 'disappointing' very disappointing!

Yes there was genocide against the Turkish Cypriots and this series reflects that very fact. Turkey came to the rescue. Denying this bitter fact doesn't make any sense.

This is a very Informative TV drama series produced by a reputable TV channel in Turkey; TRT. It is based on True Events from the period of Bloody Christmas, where brutal attacks of genocide was carried out on Turkish Cypriots by the now Internationally recognised Greek Cypriot terrorist group; EOKA, whose purpose is Enosis meaning unification with Greece. It shows the survival, struggle and resistance of Turkish Cypriots against the terrorist organisation between the years 1963 and 1974. The series is gripping and emotional, full of action and powerful performances by the actors and actresses.

We are very used of using surplus drama and falsifying some events to make a more intriguing story, but in this occasion the dear producers went really bananas. This is a series that even forced the daughter of Rauf Denktas, Ender Denktas, to get furious for disrespecting the turkish cypriots, and her father as well. Let's not even start about the absolute falsification of every single event that took part in that era in Cyprus. A one sided piece of trash. Shameful.
