Are you still unable to see the fallacy of your definition of expansion as just meaning growing larger,which might or might not be illegal as opposed to reunification which is always legal?erolz wrote:Exactly my point. YOU may well and frequently do talk about expansion without qualifiaction or quotation marks and mean such a narrow , massively subjective and subject to point of view meaning for the word but such unqualifed use in this way is on the whole little more than rhetoric compared to the simple objective defination I give.
We are actually talking for the expansion of Turkey on the expense of Cyprus remember?
What forbits this form of expansion are numerous UN resolutions like the UN definition of agggression, the one adopting the International law for friendly relations among states and possibly many others.
