So, anyone has a valid link to the decision of the court or is this poor propaganda show officially over?

[Agios Ionas]

The 'intervention' would have been legitimate if Turkey as a guarantor went in and:

Defeated EOKA-B/Greek junta as well as TMT and brought order to Cyprus.

Protected TC's and GC's alike from the above mentioned threat.

Spared civilians and their villages as well as all civilian targets.

Reinstated the constitution (ie Makarios as President and Fazıl Küçük as Vice President).

Worked with the other guarantors UK and Greece as well as the UN to maintain order until the ones responsible for atrocities from both communities were caught and prosecuted.

Turkey, UK, Greece and the UN should also have cooperated with the RoC government to create a 'new' national guard made up of GC's and TC's free from suspicion of intercommunal violence.

But...

The 'intervention' turned out to be a failure if we agree that a guarantor should have done these things mentioned above. It could have been a legitimate intervention, but instead it turned into an illegal invasion/occupation.

Why? Because:

Turkey slaughtered civilians (they f'ing used napalm against civilian targets).

Turkey ethnically cleansed the invaded parts from GC's.

Turkey stole the properties and land from the ethnically cleansed GC's.

Turkey broke the Geneva convention by bringing in settlers from the mainland in order to change the demography.

Turkey still, after 34 years, remain the occupying power holding 37% of Cyprus hostage.

This is not the work of a guarantor. This is the work of an aggressor!

Here is a link to Resolution 573 on the RoC govrnment website.

Yoy will need the non-highlighted bit as well.

RESTORING legal order, is what would have been legal, as Ionas notes above.

What kind of twisted mind thinks that the results of the 1974 invasion constitute RESTORATION!

Like they say, you really learn about someone when you see how they behave when they have power. We learned OK.

Retore ıt to whom and under what treaty......

[conmarios]

And they try to convince us that this people are looking for a fair solution to the Cyprus problem after so many years and they are still trying to legalize an invasion in Cyprus but then again they try to denied the Armenian massacre and so many other invasions and massacres they
done over the centuries any resolutions on those.
But don’t worry goes around comes around.
Soon enough I say

Restore it to the status prior to the Greek coup, or else you (the invader) admit that the reason for your "intervention" was not the coup, but your desire to expand your borders

Since we lack a credible link to substantiate this quote, a quick critique suggests it was written by an outsider with scant training in the Ancient Greek Theatre.

There is an over-dramatisation of the guilt complex pertaining to the coup by the Generals and in order to further drive the knife in deeper they might as well justify the invasion by using ameliorating locution ...

Definitely in the style of Sophocles I'd say, or maybe Euripides; no funny frog noises to be Aristophanes ...

[Viewpoint]

Athens Court of Appeal dtd. March 21, 1979: The court decision reads as follows:

"The Turkish intervention in Cyprus, which was carried out in accordance with the London-Zurich agreements, was legal. Turkey had, as one of the Guarantor Powers, the right to fulfill her obligation. The true guilty ones were the Greek Officers, who organised the coup and thereby created the conditions for an intervention."

Any links to verify the validity of the above?

Except of course the well known Turkish propaganda site from which you copied it...

The legitimacy of the Turkish intervention was also confirmed, among others, by the Council of Europe Resolution 573 (1974) and even by the Athens Court of Appeal.

The clock is ticking Zan! Just wait for another one year, until September 2009, when you will receive the boot with a RoC /GC veto that will completely throw your mommy out of her EU accession process, and try to make use of the above arguments! Then I want you to call upon the “Athens’s court of appeal” and the CoE, to explain to the EU that your invasion and occupation of Cyprus were /are "legal!" The clock is ticking Zan! Just count the days left for you find out how “legal” it was, but do not come here crying for being deceived due to your own foolishness!

Do you worst lets get it over and done with so we can all go our merry way.
