I personally take great offense to the absurd depiction of Archbishop
Makarios alongside with Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

Whilst Mr. Ioannou has every right to express his dissenting views, his
incensed portraying of Archbishop Makarios as a vicious and bloodthirsty
tyrant is deplorable and goes beyond sheer indignity and demagogy.
