Paphiti
The main problem lies here...You seem to have convinced yourselves that Cyprus government = Greek Cypriots and any action (coup in this case) against Cyprus Government should be considered done against the Greek Cypriot community..
What about the Turkish Cypriots and their rights in the Cypriot Government?Or did the coupists make a special arrangement not to harm the rights of TC's after they took over?
Stop ignoring the presence of Turkish Cypriot community and their rights in the ROC..
Paphiti, those idiots performed a coup against the Republic of Cyprus, not against the Greek Cypriots.
Thanks for that valuable piece of information! I did not realise.
I said it was a purely GC affair. I do not deny that it was against the Republic of Cyprus Government.
I did state the following:The Greek Generals were given certain guarantees by the CIA that Turkey would not inytervene in Cyprus should they conduct a Coup and depose the Makarios Government.Greece initiated a Coup against The Cyprus Government. This matter was purely an internal GC affair and did not involve or endanger the TC community.
If it wasn't for enosis re Paphiti then what was it for? Why do you think we fought against these coupists?
Halil, the coup was overthrown by us after the 1st invasion. It didn't matter, Turkey still took 37% of our land when CLerides was President during the 2nd invasion. The coup was over by then.
Even if Makarios stopped the coup Turkey would have still invaded, They proved this.
BTW well done for using your own words, its the only way you'll improve your english.
Enjoy your Tango with the Turks.
Sometimes I can not help but think you people deserve what you get.
