My point is that technically we could have defended our country well, had it not been for the internal mess, from an invasion of hopeless illiterate anatolian peasants.


I was not pro-invasion at all, and I realised at the time what the consequences of war on Cyprus would be, but GR, it was those 'hopeless, illiterate anatolian peasants' who ruled the day.

A pointless statement.

I'm quite convinced that had their timing of the invasion not been perfect there would've been a bay of pigs #2 because you catch an invader on the shores and not inland three days later.
