Some interesting points Nikephoros, which I believe have some value. There are a lot of leftist neo-Cypriots in his Forum. Some talk absolute nonsense, as no doubt you have probably gathered. Cyprus' history is far more complicated than simply blaming the Junta; or simply blaming Makarios. The fact is, all sides are to blame. By the way, I am not one of those who believe we are 'just Cypriots.' Some people, disappointingly believe this is the only way forward, I for one, do not. You cannot irradicate hundreds and even thousands of years of history. We are Greek and Turkish Cypriots; trying to reunite on any other basis in my opinion is extremely dangerous.

Welcome to the Forum.

The funny thing after this nice necropsy from the apologists of the coup, the Eoka b activities, and the Greek junta, we have not heard a single word as to how the Cyprus problem would be solved.

[Nikephoros]

Get a life some of you.

How the "Cyprus problem" is solved? Do you think the average person on the streets or politicians knows how to solve such problems.

For sure you will not solve things by creating a history of lies. Unless of course you want to hide your cowardice and your past political and military mistakes and put the blame all on EOKA B and the Greek junta. But I guess that is all people like you are interested in, running from your past mistakes and giving them to someone else with a false created history to cover up your past cowardices. Maybe if you actually become a man some day to recognize simple facts and stop to be so arrogant to refuse to look into books, you can make progress on "problems". But before that there is no hope. Infact all your doing is creating the "neocypriot" problem.

All I did was post a simple historical account from a known participant. And the result was so pathetic. A bunch of Anecdotal Annies sprang forth, political attacks were made, history was bruised, the sad and cowardly state of the Greek Cypriot left was exposed.

Yes I think the average person has at least an opinion. Why are you so afraid to tell your opinion?

[Nikephoros]

Because I do not want all the little minds to hijack this thread into another "how would you solve the Cyprus problem" stupidity of a thread.

It is much more pleasurable to see the how the leftist cowards, the descendants of the Epikouri, invent facts and post them to a thread where it is posted clearly a real Greek language account from a real participant in the Battle for Cyprus.

[Pyrpolizer]

In other words you have nothing more to say in here.

And I suppose the Turkey and Turkish Cypriots nationalists never had their own agenda? Turkey/The Ottomans did not have a reputation for brutalising citizens of her empire? Britain never practiced divide and rule? and the US was happy to see another Cuba in the Med?

The Cyprus problem is far more complicated than nincompoops like you can ever understand, just because the anecdotes related here conflict with your views of matter don't dismiss them as untrue. You use the word "coward" quite freely, is this something in which you have particular expertise or experience?

[Nikephoros]

What is the "Cyprus problem" having to do with a specific thread that posts a specific three page account of what happened in 1974?

Jerry, I think polis took care of your anecdote you shared from a cousin. If any of you leftists had a brain and did not hate the military so much, you would recognize certain things. Like you cannot really have a sovereign nation without a military that can defend from outside threats(not the Epikouri!). You cannot resist an invasion by reporting to the nearest barracks or military camp instead of your relevant military unit. Because with that attitude you will fight disorganized with no leadership or proper unit structure and lose anyway.

And what relation does this specific 3 page scan/copy-paste from a book has to "how the Cyprus problem should be solved". You already admitted you have no idea. So what's your point in here? To buzz like a mosquito? To call everybody leftist coward?

Hey hear this:

I was never a communist. And I 've witnessed too many rightist cowards as well.

NB. When we will need you in 2974 to tell us what to do, we shal call you. Remember to bring your books with you.

I agree with you 100 percent just like most Greek Cypriots. Only way to unite is for both Greeks and Turk Cypriots to respect each other for what we are : Greeks and Turk Cypriots. There is no such thing as an ethnic Cypriot just like there is no such thing as an ethnic Yugoslav or Soviet...
