Thank you

Thank you

Have you ever heard of the GC and Greek dream and wish for enosis?

What about the Akritas plan?

If not then I suggest that you do a little reading before you come back again.

I seriously wonder how many of you have done their army service in Cyprus and are up here spouting rubbish.

There is a very simple way to determine the setup of the GC and Turkish occupation forces on the island.

The one is defensive and the other one is offensive.

The Turkish troops are stationed with their artillery in front of their infantry on the green line which denotes an offensive setup. (It also means they do not take any GC ground forces seriously as they don't beleive their artillery is in danger of any offensives.)

DT, are you suggesting that the GC artillery is capable of 'going on the offensive'? Then you have contradicted yourself by saying, 'The one is defensive and the one is offensive'.

better?

[Paphitis]

There are no more than 1500 Greek troops in the south. Saying that this justifies keeping 40 000 Turks in the north, is obviously insinuating that 1500 Greeks are a force they cannot deal with.

What was the "justification" for bringing in 20,000 (confirmed by Papitis) Greek soldiers in to Cyprus to force a handfull of TCs to surrender to your enosis dream?

I did not confirm anything.

I did explain earlier that the higher figure could in fact have included CNG elements, but you choose to ignore this.

Nope!.. You better spell it out and tell me which side was 'defensive'. As far as I make ou from your post, both sides were 'offensive'.

The Turks are poisitioned with their artillery first and its infantry behind. The CNG does the opposite.

The Turkish occupation forces are positioned offensively and the CNG defensively.
