Since 1974 with Makarios and then the rest of presidents we made many compromises to the Turks because we wanted to find a solution. The Turks didn't make any compromises and every time they want more! And they now say that we are to be blamed if we don't accept even more from their crap!
I think we made a mistake to negotiate with Turks and make compromises. Turks will always be Turks. You can't negotiate with Barbarians! We should have just sticked to the resolutions of 1974 and insist on them and not to negotiate anything with the invadors!
