and then if we can get the turks to think of themselves as cypriots under a united cyprus, we GC's become the majority and can govern over the TC again, and once again attempt to de-turkify the island.
Excellent post Big Al! Though you forgot to put the signature at the end: Archbishop Makarios III and Assoc.
What's the matter with you girls? Wasn't 307 years of killing, raping, stealing, and multiple other barbarisms enough for you? Can't handle the GC civilized and progressive ways?
Do you still have wet dreams at night of the sun rising over the minarets and date trees while your Sabre rests on the wall next to your peasant hide boots?
What a sour race the Greeks are. The Ottomans were your master for 4 centuries, they protected you from hostilities from other powers and now you show total disrespect. I honestly cant believe these Greeks and their stinking attitude.
How are we ever going to reunite with this kind of attitude.
Masters my arse! Masters don’t squat to piss buddy but what an ignorant clown of Cyprus history you have turned out to be…
“Throughout the period of Venetian rule, Ottoman Turks raided and attacked at will. In 1489, the first year of Venetian control, Turks attacked the Karpas Peninsula, pillaging and taking captives to be sold into slavery. In 1539 the Turkish fleet attacked and destroyed Limassol. Fearing the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire, the Venetians had fortified Famagusta, Nicosia, and Kyrenia, but most other cities were easy prey.
In the summer of 1570, the Turks struck again, but this time with a full-scale invasion rather than a raid. About 60,000 troops, including cavalry and artillery, under the command of Lala Mustafa Pasha landed unopposed near Limassol on July 2, 1570, and laid siege to Nicosia. In an orgy of victory on the day that the city fell--September 9, 1570--20,000 Nicosians were put to death, and every church, public building, and palace was looted. Word of the massacre spread, and a few days later Mustafa took Kyrenia without having to fire a shot. Famagusta, however, resisted and put up a heroic defense that lasted from September 1570 until August 1571.”
