Zan,

People raised on lies will believe lies. Convicing such folk otherside makes for an uphill battle...

And now we are in 2008.Let's erect banners in Cyprus proclaiming the Cyprus problem is all the doing of the British...

Purdley , the British along with Turkey and Greece signed the Zurich agreements and each became a guarantor of Cyprus's independence.
The British had a legal obligation to intervene , a parliamentary committee some years after the Turkish invasion established the fact that Britain failed in its legal obligations regarding Cyprus. Many in Cyprus see Brittain as the nation that bears more responsibility for the intercomunal strife and the subsequent Turkish invasion.Let us not forget that during the 1955-59 struggle by the G/Cs , the British used the T/Cs as auxiliary police against the majority of the people of Cyprus .
Everyone on this forum knows me as a Western world supporter through and through and pro British , this doesn't mean that I can not criticize the incompetent British Government that failed to see that by using a section of the Cypriot people against the other it was stoking up future conflict.
The other two nations , Greece and Turkey , I have called many times as the cancer that plagues Cyprus.

So Turkey did the UKs job and you still are griping about it.....

3. tpap is responsible for our bad situation concerning the cyppro. how difficult is it to understand that ? !

The question is why do you adopt the excuses of our enemies. I hope you understand the Cypriot people will not elect as a new president anybody that supports your nonsense.

Zan you certainly know how to wind people up mate with your little snide comments. You want a reaction from the GC's on this forum. I will say one thing though their presence did help overthrow the Gunta. I know you believe strongly that they saved the TC community and you may well be right but her ultimate goal right from when the Zurich agreement was signed she would return to take 1/3 of the island. Greece had her agenda the brits got what they always wanted their bases and the Turkey would eventually get what she wanted.

The GC's & TC's were munipulated by all parties until we ALL realise this Cyprus will remain in limbo. At the end of the day I know we can all get on but unfortunatly we have all been raised to mistrust each other beacuse of past, right back to when the Ottamans invaded. The people of Cyprus should wake up before it's too late.

I'm sure it must have been scary growing up when the GC's were trying to force the TC's out. As I'm sure the GC's feel the same when the Turks invaded in 1974. At the end of the day I fear the country will be partitioned with minor land adjustments possibly as the annan plan envisaged with compensation for those who cannot return. I dont want that to happen but I'm realistic. Turkey will not leave until she gets what she wants.

No matter what you say Purdey the Brits created the problem. They were supposed to be our guarantors yet they sat back and let Turkey invade. I guess they were guaranteeing that Turkey could take half the island. Britain got what they wanted their bases.

You say you helped the south grow. How's that then by making money of the suffering of the GC's after the war. Typical Brits use every situation to line your own pocket.

The Brits are still making things worse by buying GC land in the North. Well if there is a solution I hope they throw them to the sea. Buying cheap stolen land.

You do realise that Greece was the first to invade don't you

Yes Zan Greece bombed towns and military installations while dropping parachutists and also using the navy launced a full invasion on little old Cyprus !!!
Zan , what happened was this .Makarios stood up the the Greek junta and demanded the withdrawal of Greek mainland army officers. The mistake that Makarios made was to grossly under estimate the stupidity of the Greek junta , they couldn't invade a village defended by old women let alone invade Cyprus .

Why do you persist in talking rubbish Some estimates have Greece and EOKA killing up to 3,000 GCs...What is the matter with you people.....Are you hell bent on driving us away with your lies and misconceptions........

You never stop do you , each word , each paragraph has one and only one purpose.Spread more malicious nonsense more venom more anti unification slogans. Go join THAT new world awaiting for you mate !! I doubt it though !

Britain has made plenty in various places throughout the world over the centuries!But in all fairness,I don't think all the retired Brits. in Cyprus who have invested BILLIONS in buying properties and contributions to the economy while they live here are that unwelcome or have any bad intentions towards the Greek-Cypriots!
Greece today is not the Greece of the 60's and 70's and Karamanlis is forging ahead and mending fences with Turkey in a true European spirit of co-operation.I am sure he is very relieved at our change of leadership as he has so many of his own problems to worry about and not having Cyprus to complicate things will be a blessing!I'm sure Greece would gladly give up its guarantor status here,especially as we are all in the E.U. so it's up to Turkey to do likewise as a prospectve member,or at least commit to it!
Brits who bought property in the north virtually all knew of the legal aspects so in the event of a solution they will have to dig into their pockets and pay whatever compensation is decided on as part of a deal!Tough luck,but when you gamble you take the risks that go with it!

[Raymanoff]

heard from so many people today that they will be backing Hristofias...

[cymart]

I really hope not-Castro has just resigned in Cuba and we don't need him here either!

It seems that more and more countries are moving towards the West , I hope Cyprus wont be an exception. But then again who knows?
