.... Really? What evidence is there for your multi-statement, RW ....
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.
7. Calls upon the signatory states to guarantee the sovereignty, territorial integrity and
security of Cyprus, including an improved status, guaranteeing the security and the rights
of the Turkish community, as well as the political independence of a democratically
governed Cyprus, as laid down when Cyprus became independent in 1960
This resoluiton was carried out between the 2 invasions. You have broken article 7 which calls for the gaurantee of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cyprus.
Your attempts at legalising an ongoing invasion and occupation of half the island and our homes is pathetic.
Two different issues my friend and how long after did Athens accept the decision????
You're not being clear here. WHat decision did Athens accept? The resolution? How was acceptance deemed?
Actually the point I am making is not up for discussion. The entire world, the UN, the EU, Russia, the US and a large number of prgressive TC writers and journalists have accepted that the invasion and occupation is an illegal one. Now if your grounds for declaring something "under discussion" are that YOU"RE still talking about it then fair enough to you.
The rest of the world has stopped discussing this point and has declared the invasion and occupation illegal. (Don't make me list UN resolutions) The only grounds that existed for any legality to have taken place is if Turkey intervened to overthrow Sampson. COnsidering the coup ended after the first invasion and the Greeks and GC's were discussing a return to the 1960 constitution as stated in the Treaty of Gaurantee....Turkey was discussing the Gunes Plan.
A NEW constitution and a new government. It was clear that the strategy changed thanks to the Turkish troops on the ground in Cyprus. Taksim a life long dream of TC's was now possible and Turkey was not going to back down. Fact was that the Gunes plan immediately showed the world how Turkey broke the Treaty of Gaurantee. When talks were in progress to re-instate the 1960 agreements (as called by the Treaty of Gaurantee) and Turkey launched another wave of invasion and occupation then some people would congratulate you for having the balls and the cannabis in your system to insist that the invasion and occupation is a legal one.
Fasil Kucuk declared it in 1957! TMT fought for it and Turkey enforced it. A well thought out plan.
Now do you see why I thought you were high?
