One thing is to say what Christofias said, that GCs also committed crimes during the inter communal conflict, which is something true, and another thing is to try to blame the intercommunal conflict on GCs, when it is a fact that the inter-communal conflict started in 1958 when the TCs attacked the GCs as part of their agreement with the British Colonialists to defeat the liberation struggle of Cypriots.
This is part of the story why we don't trust you.
You even lie about your aims. I never heard or saw any slogan in the 1950s except enosis. Nothing about Cypriots or liberation. After the truce and the Constitution of 1960 you tried to bring it about again by violence in 1963/4, and again in 1974. By economic means inbetween. Since at least the 19th Century GCs have been trying for enosis by one means or another. Everything you say convinces me, and according to a recent poll 97% of TCs, that we must have guarantees backed, if necessary, by a country willing to use force.
Enosis = Liberation. Like it happened to all other Greek territories and islands. Weren't those other Greek territories and islands liberated from their foreign rulers (at very different times) in order to create the Free Greek Republic?
The last ones where Rhodes and Dodecanese which were liberated and united (=enosis) with the rest of the Greek state in 1948. Did it mean that because there was a Turkish minority on Rhodes that the Greek people there were not allowed to be free???
3 Centuries is a little further than just "trying" don't you think Piratis.
We have been here for 3 centuries but you are willing to go back so far in order to claim more ownership on the island over us. THATS why you are full of cack!
I personally have no wish nor will to be working with people like yourself, whether you call it "democracy" or you call it "indigenousnes" or "Cypriotnes", i simply see them all as various ways of getting back on track with your centuries old racist agenda and anyone who buys your hijacked "human rights" claims is an utter idiot.
This is a very typical Greek argument that has been so overused by you people it actually means nothing anymore.
Basically, i would hate to have to trust you under any circumstances, hopefully we never will.
Right. So every Greek is racist because it they fought to liberate their lands from the foreign invadors. The whole of Greece should have been part of Turkey if we go by your theories.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the people of a territory to want their self-determination and liberation from their rulers.
Your minority can stay in Cyprus as equal Cypriot citizens, but you have no right to force what you want on this island against the will of the great majority of Cypriots.
Do you at least acknowledge that the GCs were "planning" to annihilate us??
No. What the GCs wanted was the freedom of their island from foreign rulers. In the 50s we were fighting against the British for our self-determination and
you attacked us in 1958 with the demand that we should be annihilated from half of our island. And as you know your plans were not just some imagined theories like the ones you accuse us, but actual plans of annihilation which you put into action soon after.
