I do admire your persistence in trying to talk some sense to those whose minds are as closed today to the feelings and wishes of the TCs, as they were in the 40s and 50s...The mindset represented here by the likes or Paphidis and Oracle ,and their TC equivalents,illustrate how and why we find ourselves in the shit that we stand...Add to this mindset the covert and ouvert manipulations of the other interested parties,and we can see how easy it was to divide and rule us...The frustrating part is,after all these years,and after many things coming to light,these people refuse to change their minds about anything...They will not let truth get in the way of their prejudices....Anybody who seriously considers Grivas as someone suitable to be President of Cyprus,does not belong to the same world as you and I...Despite hundreds of thousands of years of evolution,human beings are still unable to rise above their animalistic ,tribalistic and herd instincts....We still need someone to blame,and we still insist on dividing people as "us" and "them",and we still need God to absolve us from guilt and sin...We don't deserve the gift of life,as most of us simply waste it away with bitterness and hatred...This is the hard lesson I learnt on this Forum...
The "divide and rule" theory is a load of crap and is something that is made up by those who wanted enosis to make the gullible believe it was the "Colonial powers", the USA, CIA who was to be blamed for the mess the enosis wishers had started.
Enosis was the catalyst they used...But we were certainly manipulated into feeling different,and they did things to set us against each other..To deny that is not going to help anything...Turkey had washed her hands of Cyprus in 1923...They had to be dragged into the equation by the Britain and USA in early 50s...Just after the establishment by the USA of Ozel Harp Dairesi(Special War Office) in September,1952...This was the germinal factor of the Turkish "Deep State" which is still active today...
TMT was established and trained by these people to work towards Partition (Taksim)....Don't be in denial like our friends Oracle and Paphidis...It doesn't help us get anywhere...
