Union with Greece does not require you being killed, ethnically cleansed, or any of the other human rights violations required in order to achieve partition.
Cypriots have the right to democratically choose where their own island will belong. In Greek Republic, EU, or Australia. Just because you don't agree with it (you have the right to disagree) this doesn't mean you have the right to attack and start killing people to prevent Cypriots from having their rights.
What if you didn't like the union of Cyprus with EU either? You could say for example that EU is a "Christian Club" and since you are not Christians you don't agree with such a union. Would that mean that your disagreement should overwrite the democratically expressed will of the majority, and that you had the right to attack and kill people in order to enforce your opinion in an undemocratic way?
You can have the 100% of your human rights and nobody every denied you these rights, but beyond that you should also learn to respect democracy, and understand that you have no right to force your will by attacking and killing people. This is the 21st century, not the era of the Ottoman empire where you could show total disregard to the rights of the majority.
Its funny that whenever you are challenged, you will refer to 'Human Rights'. Where were you during the years 1963 - 1974 Piratis.
I am aware of the 'Invasion' ethnic cleansing and the misuse of GC properties in the south and I condemn this. However the actions of and the responses on this forum so far does not give me the impression that YOU are much bothered with the wellbeing of TC on this, our beautiful island. You not only want to punish us, you want to choke us to death. If not to death, you know your actions are gradually reducing the TC population by forcing them out of Cyprus. God help you when the New Settlers begin to beat their drums. You need to get your act together before its too late.
You were the one who was challenged and avoided answering. I asked you to tell me which of your human rights would union with Greece violate. Where is your answer to that?
63 didn't happen out of the blue. In 1958 you attacked us starting the conflict, collaborated with the colonialists and forced on us the 1960 agreements that benefited yourselves and your imperialist friends on our expense. In 1963 Makarios proposed changes to that foreign imposed constitution that would make the system of Cyprus more fair and democratic. But instead of even discussing the proposals you choose to insist on the unfair privileges granted to you by the Imperialists.
I was not alive in 63, but if I was I would support the same things that I support now. Human rights, democracy (one person one vote) and no discrimination based on ethnicity. These are the things that you ALWAYS rejected, and the reason why we have conflicts and wars.
The TC population is reduced by your actions, not mine. Rhodes island, which also has a Turkish minority, united with Greece in 1948. Since then the population of the Turkish minority has increased by 20%. This fact alone refutes your baseless claims that union with Greece was a threat for your minority.
Nothing of what I support threatens the lives or the human rights of TCs. It only threatens the unfairly acquired land and privileges you gained on our expense by collaborating with foreign Imperialists.
Rhodes Island. Yes, I remember posting an article about Rhodes Islan last year. About a coffee shop owner, who complained of the closure of Turkish schools for a variety of reasons. eg: the reduction of the Turkish population as they were boycotted, the refusal to open up schools for those few that were left. Boycotting of his coffee house because he was a Turk. Sometimes visited by tourists because of the Ottoman decor. You know the facts Piratis you know how the Greek mindset works..
