Yes the British were to blame initially.That was not enough for Cypriots though,they had to take the fight a step further.Goading Turkey was a huge mistake,you were not prepared for the fallout and the reprocutions that followed.
Yes you claim to be a peace loving people but you tend to shout alot of crap and then cannot defend it in numbers.

Divide and Conquer is the british way Umit ...... take note of that. Besides your recognition wil certainly come from none other than the British

Humanist we haven't heard from you for some time. Welcome back.

Divide and conquer is the anglo saxon way by no doubt and it is still going on in differnt forms. But the arguments you put down are like coffee shop talk, just think about it the british bases are "Sovereign", there is no difference between the british mainland and the bases , they are a part of britain. The only way they can leave is with , either their own will or If GC's use military power and attack them and if they did that, technically they would have waged war on britain. The british have no intension in leaving the bases ( in the annan plan they didn't even give up an inch), they will only leave when there is no petroleum left in the middle east. GC's gotta take resposibilty for their actions instead of balming everyone else for everything. What do you think about the 2 factors Pumpy put foward?

The Cyprus Problem can be explained by 2 factors - both Greece & Turkey,who've been using Cyprus as a pawn in their braindead game.

The genuine Cypriot people want neither Enosis nor Taksim,as both ideologies are as braindead as each other.

Cyprus came under British rule in 1878,not 1914!

Who are to blame for the problems in Cyprus are the invadors. Turks and British. If Cyprus had no invadors there would be no problems. Think about it. Would there be a Cyprus Problem if the Turks and the British never invaded Cyprus?? NO.

Spot on.

Cypriots have suffered and continue to suffer because foreigners come to our island to forcefully impose their will on us and stop Cypriots from having their freedom and self-determination. This is the root and the main problem of Cyprus.

Cypriots have never ventured out of their island to harm anybody. We simply revolted against the foreign oppressors, who shouldn't have been on this island in the first place, demanding our freedom and self-determination.

Just like the native indians and Aborigines, look what happened to them.
