With a shocking message on social media, the son of the hero Tassos Markos, Paris, honors the memory of his father 47 years later.
In the early hours of August 14, 1974, the tragedy of Cyprus began to take place. The battalion of Tassos Markos is being mercilessly bombarded by the Turkish air force. Tassos Markou decided to deal with the current situation with the meager means at his disposal. The battle was unequal but the hero Major and his men defended with stubbornness and bravery of the homeland. Major Tassos Markou, faithful to the oath of the Greek officer, remained immovable on the ramparts of the defense of his homeland, fought with unparalleled heroism, courage and self-denial and is today the most heroic figure among Greek Cypriot Officers.
This is the message of his son:
"I'm looking for you father…
47 years have passed
And I'm still looking for you father… and let me spend half a century of my life…
From a child with a heavy name. Your…
The child of the hero.
But I missed my father. My father. Mine. It was missing. Mourning pain, agony and sadness.
Then ιος I decided to follow your steps.
Let me put on the uniform too…
And I found myself looking for others who were lost ους forty years and put…
I found several fathers.
But I Did Not Find You.
In the smoke, with two or three soldiers on fire, the battle of inequality…
And one last communication you were told you were surrounded…
Since then it keeps coming back to my mind what happened .. that day August 14…
What happened in those minutes? the last minutes?
What did you do father?
With one last bullet?
This was told to me by many who knew you and how you said it…
Do not fall captive to dogs, killers, butchers…
Duty. Highest Duty.
Now μου my father… graphic and romantic and dreamy and dreamy those who still believe and declare
I do not forget…
Yes father… yes….
And much more.
I have a dream father.
To find you.
To know what you became father.
A memory to come and talk to you.
Let your soul rest too…
But also mine… so confused and confused…
Tomorrow… August 14 father.
All more intense and more torturous in my mind and heart.
When, where, how, what time?
If I only knew this father… Let this…
Let me go to my knees at the time of your death in front of the Virgin Mary…
To confess to her, to speak to her father.
Tell her to be well… the time you left father…
I will look for another father.
I know that your heavy name… made the dogs move your bones in Greek so that we could not find you…
Do not learn that the dogs did not take the pleasure to kill you with a bullet and a chopper ..
But your soul could not father.
And your story will inspire generations and generations.
As long as some, father, do not forget.
But I can not promise you that father…
We were left few…
And people you would not believe… a girl born after the invasion asked God… to see you in her dream God give her a sign… what happened… 14 August 1974. She was an unborn father.
Είπε father είπε told me
He saw you in battle. The agony, the smoke… and others that only I knew father for those minutes…
And he told me… that he suddenly saw you going straight up in your uniform… high in Heaven.
Christ is waiting for you at a gate in Nefeli τέρα
Forgive your sin to take your own life because you were a witness… father…
Now we have a happy father…
Harmolypi…
You were under siege, father with your 2-3 soldiers…
And you flew high ύτε to Christ..
Free Besieged we are still a father…
I'm sorry for that father…
That's all I learned, father…
This girl is still haunted by the dream.
Feels a burden of responsibility.
To find you father.
Yes, and even a few others… unborn in the barbaric invasion.
Few… but want us to find you father.
Everyone from their own τε and as much as they can.
I do not want the prices father. The words.
I want to find you father. My own father. My own…
47 years old father and I closed half a century of life ..
I will find you father ..
We will find you father…
But we remained a few fathers…
But strong. I can confess this to you.
I will find you father and let 47 περά years pass
Me and my sister your grandchildren and competitors and unknown father…
August 14 ..
I will go to the Virgin Mary… to tell her father…
And in Christ….
And it will dawn on August 15 father…
And I will continue to look for you father…
Other fathers gather around me.
Away from words, formal ceremonies…
They humbly pray and try…
I will find you father…
(SS thank you) ”
