Because the offer was conditional - Going against Nazi Germany with their ill equipped army even before they were prepared for war. What I can tell you is that many 1000s of Cypriots fought on the site of the UK during WWII with the fake promise that after the war Cyprus would be liberated.

Answers your question? Now answer mine




You mean they thought Germany would win the war. Thankyou.

Yor question was?

My answer was not that, look again.

If the British treated the people they occupied as commodities, how were they better than the Nazis? Why didn't they let the Cypriot people free to decide the destiny of their own island in a democratic way? Why even after forcing on us the constitution they wanted they forced us to accept to have 2 huge UK military bases on our island? I thought colonialism was supposed to be over? Or was that just a slogan to make the British look better than the Nazis?

Bigger picture Piratis - bigger picture. Cyprus has been a small cog in a very large wheel for decades and will most likely remain so. As a previous post said - it's not the centre of the universe.

Been fun. Night night chaps

For foreigners is a "small cog" for us is our homeland.

The center of the universe is many 1000s light years away. I don't think there is anybody that cares about that. Everybody cares for what is important for them. For us that something is Cyprus, and we will keep fighting until the day our homeland is liberated from those foreigners that treat our land as some "small cog".

Oranos, fighting takes many forms, not just an armed struggle.

Fighting was what all those real Cypriots did during the Ottoman era. While every now and then they tried their luck with an armed straggle, most of the time they simply resisted the oppressors and maintained their language and religion despite the huge benefits of changing.

Fighting for us now means to resist the pressure and not to sign any capitulation agreements. We have to be patient and continue to demand what is ours. Never for a moment let the enemy believe that they won this war. The war will end only with the liberation of Cyprus.
