We have covered this scenario before .
Our war will continue against the occupation of Cyprus i=only this on going war is a political one with immense political power behind it , supported by the EU on whose territory the Turkish troops are based. We have a substantial number and a growing one of T/Cs who , just as we do , want the occupying troops out and a solution based on democratic principles and human rights. Turkey is being sent very clear messages from the T/Cs who unlike Zan , consider Cyprus as their motherland . We can not bring the reality and the horrors of military action against a nation of 80 million , a war that from the outset would be doomed to invoke the largest by far catastrophe on our island , a catastrophe that would be irreversible for generations to come.
We are at an advantage with the political war being waged currently , the EU has already expressed its wishes that the Turkish army withdraw from its territory , it will support us and it will equally support the T/Cs in demanding the removal of the occupying troops .Zan and the other extremists "Turkish motherland" perpetrators are not representative of the T/C people any more than Oracle or GR are representative of the G/C people.
We can win the political war but can not win a military war that would generate the required result , which must be , one island , one nation , troops out human rights for all guaranteed by the EU and the UN.
GR refers to the T/Cs as remnants of the Ottoman empire , a slight correction here , T/Cs who have as their motherland their country , Cyprus , are just as indigenous to this nation as he and I are . Those whose allegiance and demands are in line with Zan'ss ie , annexation or permanent partition of our island and considerer Turkey as their motherland , then my advice to them would be to depart and search , as Zan is doing right now , this modern and brave new world of their motherland. You can not expect the Cypriots to stand by and watch their island eaten up by Turkey. The political war will continue and believe me it will intensify . A solution must be agreed upon based on the will of the people , the Cypriot people .
