The GCs were not forced at gunpoint to leave their homes, they chose to leave. Why do GCs so conveniently forget how TCs were continually forced from their homes pre 1974, constantly attacked and murdered by GCs?

Many of the dead GCs were murdered by Greeks/GCs pro Enosis and during battle with the Turks. It was not a barbaric invasion it was a very necessary intervention and they did the right thing to partition the island, if they hadn't more GCs and TCs would have died. But you are so blinded by your hatred of TCs/Turks that you fail to see this. Is it any wonder there has been no solution to Cyprus after all these years? And there won't be the type of solution GCs want-it won't happen.

Intervention = 0 dead
6000 dead = Brutal, barbaric, ethnic cleansing Invasion

You are not very smart are ya?

In your first sentence you say no one was forced at gun point to leave their homes...the chose to ...

And in you second sentence you say partition was a necessity...

The question is how could "turkey=fascist state" could achieved partition without forcing gcs at gun point?

[Natty]

TCTRNC I’d be interested to know who you think built the ancient Greek monuments on the Island? And all the pre 19th and 20th century Greek Orthodox churches and monosteries?

That's easy! They were built by Martians.

Oh I see. So what part of Cyprus do the Martians get? They evidently have a longer history in Cyprus than the GCs and TCs...

Sadly for all of you I am the last remaining decedent of the Martians! Get out of my island! All of you!

If you can convince your Martian brothers in outer space to get together a space ship invasion force and come down to Earth, you may well be able to realise your dream kurupetos...

If you're going to spread lies then perhaps you shouldn't tell them to people who were there. You seem very igonorant to the fact that a number of people on this forum were forced to leave their homes by your 'peaceful' Turkish soldiers and some of us lost family members.

I suggest you get in touch with your local propaganda office and find some more subtle lies to spout or better yet leave it to some of your compatriots who are quite the profesionals.

Do you (GCs) think you're the only ones to have lost homes and family? GCs thought they could pick on the TCs, treat them as 2nd class citizens in their own country, force them out of their homes, ghettoize them, murder them and GET AWAY WITH IT. Of course all you're going to remember, learn and care about is what happened to the GCs-in your minds nothing bad happened to the TCs at the hands of the GCs. The same as GCs suffered, so did the TCs and if we make reference to it or have an opinion different from yours, your predictable response is to be rude, insulting, ignorant and abusive. If you represent the GCs, there's no hope for those who desire reunification.
You lot have confirmed what I suspected: GCs are not to be trusted - they won't share.

You can now stop using the past as justification to your illegal actions of invading, ethnically cleansing and occupying Cyprus. You are all living on borrowed time, and lately we have seen many Geopolitical changes occuring in Europe. Alliances are being formed.

Just know this, that the current peace talks will be your final chance at brokering a peacefull settlement. The ball is now firmly in your court.

The world is on notice, and the deadlines are fast approaching.

"The GCs were not forced at gunpoint to leave their homes, they chose to leave. "

Reder to BBC news footage of the invasion, and tell me if being bombed, as was the residential part of Famagusta, counts as gunpoint for you. Also read the Sunday Times Insight report of September 1974, about thetreatment meted out by your heroic mehmecik to the captive civilian population of Karpasia and tell us whether that counts as ethnic cleansing. Nothing like that in ferocity or scale was ever done to the TCs.

You can have your views, but you do not have to promote them like an asshole.

When were the "we come in peace" leaflets dropped ?

"Kin" poems for Turkish domestic consumption and "peace leaflets" for the rest of the world.

According to Mehmet Ali Birand (30 Hot Days),

Thursday, July 18th 1974
By 20.30, the Turkish delegation was on its way back to Turkey in a DC-9. Most of them had fallen asleep but the noise of typing could be heard from the front seats. It stopped, and Ecevit made his way to Orhan Eralp whom he wakened, saying: 'Sorry to waken you, but is this how you would put it in English?' Eralp, his drowsiness shaken off, looked at the paper in Ecevit's hand. It read: 'We are coming to restore peace, not to wage war. We are com- ing to rescue both the Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities.' Leaflets bear- ing this message were to be dropped by the Turkish planes over Cyprus before the bombardment began.

I have made my points and most of your responses have been as expected: 'Never the twain shall meet'.

Goodbye, for now.

Why did you feel the need to make your points to us?

You do not owe us anything. You have everything you ever wanted.

Surely you weren't harbouring some guilt as to what you have done, and there is a grain of humanity in you which wanted us to understand your point of view so that we can perhaps forgive you?

Maybe some doubts are finally creeping in to the Turkish psyche.
