I am all ears...
How exactly did the Greek Cypriots "steal" the RoC if by your own admission…
“…soon TMT was acting like a terrorist organisation in guise as a selfdefence organisation,putting fear into their own people,and killing and bombing strategic targets to achieve their ultimate aim,Partition”
...so the TCs abandoned their posts due to the pressure you described by the TMT, in accordance with Turkey's request?
No,the TMT's efforts would never have been enough without the EOKA and Makarios puting the fear of death into us....go and read the Akritas plan carefully..It is all describe in there,how they plotted to sideline the TCs and assume all the power...You are trying your best to be selective with your facts,GR! But it won't work with me...I know both sides of the story,nd I am not biased and prejudiced like you are...You have to admit your guilt and show some remorse for your share of the stupidity..then we might get somewhere...
For a self-confessed bunch of TMT terrorists (your family) you sure got a nerve!
The TMT my family belonged to were not terrorists,they were noble defenders of our lives against fascist EOKA terrorists...Did you have any of those in your family,GR!??? come on,you can tell Unkie Bir!
I don't understand this strange phenomena Bir. The TCs were enclaved protected by TMT. How can Greeks claim that TMT attacked them when each enclave was surrounded. The only way to get out of each village was with un escort. What the hell are these GCs talking about?
Years ago when I first came on this forum,I thought there was only one way we could foster understanding and empathy and compassion etc...If we criticised our own side and owned up to some of our faults...Then everyone would do the same and soon we would be talking honestly and openly about how silly it all was and we would make progress... so I talked about some of the mistakes of the TMT and some of their strong arm tactics...It took me some time to realise I was only reinforcing most of these peoples prejudices and blinkered brainwashing...Most people here already believed that the pain and suffering of the TCs could be blamed entirely on the TMT, because it was the TMT which forced us into the enclaves to advance Denktas' Taksim dream...It is just too convenient to absolve your side of all the guilt and turn it against your "enemy"...Some honestly have no idea what we went through during 63-74..Others know too well but just simply keep spewing out GC official propaganda in the hope that if you repeat something enough times people will believe it...Others are in total denial,cannot even bring themelves to think their side couldve possibly done what we say they have done...It is too much for their psychology to contemplate it for too long...Then you have a handful of really decent and honorable GCs I will always be proud to call my brothers and compatriots...We should always remember that...
Bir, let me ask you something. Aren't here in this forum, but also in many other forums and websites, TCs who act and behave in exactly the same way as you rightfully present some GCs in this forum to be? You cannot deny this fact, Bir! There are as many GCs -at least in this forum, as there are TCs, who show the same insensitivity and arrogance towards the other side's pain and suffering, as well as the same disregard for their legitimate rights. What should we do then? Should we all start making a mockery of ourselves, by adopting the same equally negative and untruthful attitude, so as to give them a "lesson?" I personally refuse to play such a meaningless game, first out of self respect, and then because I have better things to do in my life. I would rather stay away from such a forum, as much as possible; if as in this case the administrators, for their own reasons, are unable to control what and who is posting in it. Nevertheless, never forget that there is just about the same amount of garbage being posted by TCs, as there is by GCs. If you make a closer observation to such people, most if not all of them are problematic and disturbed individuals, be it GCs or TCs.
ehem ehem.
