First of all what absolute rubbish you post GR about the TCs walking out. Your murderous leader, Makarios defied Denktas twice (at least) when Denktas used his veto and refused to take our position on the constitution seriously. So what the hell where they supposed to do. The tricks played in order to undermine the status of the TCs in government are there for all to see so you coming out with worthless statements is not going to wash over that.
Out of his own mouth I am afraid and then he has the ordacity to say that we made the choice to live in seperate villages to the GCs. There is no stopping the tricks and the lies people like you and Makarios will use to distort the truth.
O.F.: And is it true that you deprived them of many constitutional privileges, Beatitude? M.: I deprived them of nothing. I simply complained about those privileges because they only served to hamper the functioning of the state. The Constitution provides that they be represented in the government at the ratio of thirty percent. And very often the Turkish Cypriots didn't have people capable of filling that thirty percent. There was, for example, a post that I could have been filled by an intelligent Greek and it had to be given to an illiterate Turk just because he was a Turk. Once they voted against taxes. I tried to explain to them that a state can't survive if the citizens don't pay taxes, and they refused anyway. So I forced them to pay all the same. Was that an abuse? Another time, when I was about to go to Belgrade for the conference of nonaligned countries, Mr. Denktash tried to stop me from going by exercising his veto power. I told him, "Exercise it all you like. I'm going just the same." Was that an abuse?'
You cannot even see or admit to the realisties of the situation so why the hell we should trust you on anything I really don't know. Where are all the GCs that are to speak up against this sort of biased and distorted statement.
