Get Real! wrote:The “Might have” Vs the “Did do”…What I find interesting is that Greek Cypriots are often accused of things they
might have done and yet Turks and Turkish Cypriots are quite happy to
do them!
For example, Greek Cypriots are forever criticized for wanting Enosis with Greece, and that of course never happened so it can only be classified as a “might have”, but Turkish Cypriots actually DID apply Enosis with Turkey in the form of the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” thus forming a “did do”.
Here’s another example, Greek Cypriots are also criticized that they
might have conducted the “Akritas” plan; allegedly a ethnic cleansing plan against Turkish Cypriots which never happened, but Turks
did carry out the “Attila” plan; a genocide plan against the Greek Cypriots perfectly executed in July 1974 and the tragic consequences of which I need not remind.
And finally, Greek Cypriots are accused that they violated the 1960 agreements yet it was the Turkish Cypriot representatives that walked out in protest for not agreeing over several issues and never to return as instructed by Ankara. Turkey’s advice was very simple… if you can’t get what you want forget about negotiating, just take these guns and ammunition with our compliments and “negotiate” by force! Turkey was already preparing the ground for division…
http://www.cyprus-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... z+incidentIf one were to take a close look at the grievances of the two communities one would find that the Turkish Cypriot argument hangs by the very fine thread of
MIGHT HAVE, whereas the Greek Cypriot argument rests firmly on the
DID DO!
A rather interesting statement highlighting the level of perversion we face today regarding the facts and history of the Cyprus Problem... Now that you mentioned it, allow me to fill you up with a tiny portion of some ‘did do’s, that might not be addressed in your
www.greece.org website (in the thread link you provided): The GC leadership declared ENOSIS their official policy and national goal in a unique partnership and friendship state when it was banned in the constitution to begin with. The GC leadership muscled out TCs when they refused to succumb to this racist undertaking. The GC leadership orchestrated the murders and ethnic cleansing of the TCs for ressisting this crusade. The GC leadership made thousands of TCs refugees in their own island and chased them into enclaves like animals. But that wasn’t enough, the GC leadership invited the Greek military to attack TC enclaves as an Army would to another foreign country. Through these attacks, siege and inhumane embargoes the GC leadership brought TCs to the brink of extinction. Many TCs were deprived of most fundamental human rights including security, housing, property, employment, salary, and was butchered like animals in a shop. Through all this time ENOSIS kept to be the proud excuse and official goal of the GC leadership. However, when the Junta decided that the more political butcher you called your leader wasn’t doing his work as they saw fit, they tried to take things over. Even Makarios explicitly admitted in front of the world in his speech to the Security Council that the TCs are in as grave danger as the GCs from the Junta.
ENOSIS is not a ‘might have done’ phenomenon; it is a ‘prevented by force of arms’ one. Do not make any mistake about it. It was stopped not because reason prevailed to the GC leadership , not beacuse they wanted peace and friendship with the TCs, not beacuse they wanted indepenendence over being subjects of Greece and not beacuse it was illegal. It was stopped as a consequence of 11 years of stiff resistance (outnumbered 1 to 5) put up by the TC community at the expense of their tremendous suffering and losses, and the Peace Operation.
After years of merciless and barbaric treatment by the GC leadership we, the TCs, today have our independent and sovereign Republic. Yes, we have a vital alliance and partnership with Turkey, and we really don’t give a sh.. how the GC leadership, and especially the GC leadership, wishes to portray it.
Unfortunately, today the threat for the TCs by the GC leadership is no less than what it used to be back in the day. True that perhaps ENOSIS is out the door (because it was prooven beyond any doubt to them that it can not be achieved). However, today the TCs are resisting the Hellenization of Cyprus which the GC leadership is trying to impose via monopolic international representation, sociological aggression, widespread propaganda, historical perversion, political blockage, cultural assimilation, economic ambargoes and military buildup. A GC leadership that denies the partnership and equal political status of the TC community is striving for ‘osmosis’. In short: same melody, different wording. The TC community is well aware of this grave danger and prepared, willing and determined to fight it with the same courage and passion they fought ENOSIS.
As far as the ‘might have’ is concerned; I think there is only one: if the GC leadershp had made independence of Cyprus and brothership of the TCs and GCs their official policy rather than ENOSIS and murdering TCs for refusing it, there might have been peace on the island today.
p.s. please do not put links of Greek propaganda websites here again, for they are meaningless and we all know what purpose they serve
Do you sit there all day waitinfg for me to come along.....
