After reading the first story...
I'm starting to realize that the TC community is CLUELESS as to what REALLY happened in July 1974.
Save your petty TC experiences Zanny for a children's book you can write and start educating yourself about the real horrors committed by the Turkish dogs.
MASS MURDER
6,000 Greek Cypriots were massacred, many of them tortured to death.
MASS RAPE
1,000 women aged 12 to 78 were raped.
ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES
More than 1,500 missing Greek Cypriots are still unaccounted for. Many were recorded by the Red Cross and filmed by the BBC as prisoners of the Turkish army. They have never been seen again.
ETHNIC CLEANSING
200,000 Greek Cypriots were expelled from their homes at gunpoint from the occupied north of Cyprus. To this day they are prevented from returning to and reclaiming their homes by 35,000 Turkish troops which are enforcing apartheid in Europe.
COLONISATION
Since 1974 Turkey has colonized the occupied north of Cyprus with 120,000 Turkish citizens in order to alter the demographic composition of the island.
CULTURAL DESTRUCTION
Hundreds of Greek Orthodox churches have been destroyed in order to eradicate the culture and history of the Greek Cypriots who are indigenous to the island for thousands of years.
Still quoting numbers straight out of the Greek propaganda machine book GR...Tut Tut!!!! We know what went on and how you suffered and that a great many of those numbers were down to the Greek junta and not all the Turks. Try being honest about the numbers and the TC's suffering and then the world will not think you are still trying to pull the wool over their eyes. Just quoting false numbers will not work anymore my friend.......We are correcting and justifying our story now.....Ignore it at your loss. Thank god for the Internet.
None the less Zan, all true (it kinda balances out what with Grey Wolves killing their own objectors.)
And I would add:
DESTRUCTION OF WORLD HERITAGE
Older than churches, and the sites which predate them, lost to us a toponomy even older and far more complex, because the Turkish Army through its illegal occupation, has given everything and everyone a Turkish name.
