Inciting arguments must be a part of his studies.

Not really. But using other conflicts' comparisons are part of my studies.

utu ... you have ignored my previous post with the very important fact that Turkey was a series of fragments which got pushed together by the African plates.

There is an old thread where I put a link which described this movement that led to Cyprus rising up out of the water from its volcanic beginnings at the Troodos .... I'll look for it later.

The main paper which describes Greece and Africa converging is this one:

But I can't find the simple summation I was thinking of. There are many papers describing the Troodos Massif and its glassy ophiolite, volcanic origins if you want to Google those keywords.

This from the Official Cyprus Tourism site, puts it in a nutshell:

The mountains are unique geologically and one of the few places in the world where geologists can study what was once the oceanic crust without getting wet. Pillow lava, resulting from the underwater volcanic eruption 90 million years ago that gave rise to the island, can easily be seen along roads and hillsides all over the Troodos area.
