It is true that Turkish Cypriots could venture out of the enclaves but they did so at their own peril. Some never returned.
What I fail to understand is why people are so afraid to admit things in order to finally bury the skeletons we have in our closets and look to a bright new future for all of us. The only way I can interpret this behaviour is if I assume that these people do not want a solution because of racist bigotry that has probably been incorporated into their genes by fanatical school teachers (we have a plethora of those), the church and all sorts of nationalists.
Bananiot, EOKA's struggle was for liberation, freedom and self-determination. Beyond that, how Cypriots would choose to exercise their right for self-determination is entirely up to them.
According to the resolution for decolonization "integration into an independent State" is a legitimate option for the people of a territory being decolonized to choose.

So we have done absolutely nothing wrong. It is others who kept invading our island with the aim to enslave us and steal our lands. We never ventured out of our own island to harm any Turks or British or anybody else. The only thing we ever asked for and fought for is our right for freedom from those foreign invadors. Nothing more.
Why don't you say anything about the fact that it is the TCs who started the conflict against us in 1958, and collaborated with the foreign colonialists, in order to stop Cypriots from gaining their freedom? How can you blame GCs when it is in fact the TCs who started the conflict?
According to you GCs should just be the good slaves and accept whatever some foreigners want to impose on us and our island and never fight for our rights! Fortunately the "Slave GC" kind, which the TCs so much love (as we can all see) is just a tiny minority. The rest of GCs will keep fighting for our rights and our enemies should know that as long as they try to enslave us and steal our lands that they will have losses and conciquences as well.
If they want peace, there is one and only way to achieve it: To take off their troops from our island and allow Cypriots to be free on their own island. The kind of peace that comes with our capitulation will never come. This is why Greek Cypriots still exist on this island for 3500 years after 10s of foreign invadors. If we were all like Bananiot there wouldn't be any Greek Cypriots left today.

σωπαίνει, ακούει, κι όσα του λες τα δένει κομπολόγια.
Proof of 1958, any independent links? lets clear up this claim.
If you try to give me country to another foreign country I will figh back for my right to remain as is.
What's this about 1958 this cry baby is on about VP?
