The "Greek Army National Guard" is not a Greek Army, it is the RoC National Guard. I have to correct you on this because you or maybe someone else might imply later that the south is under Greek occupation, likewise the north is under a Turkish one.


and saying "cypriot" is verry funny as well

Why it is funny?

You state the "occupation" of the north as you call it as if its the plague, the current situation is the culmination of many errors made by both communities, this "occupation" make us feel safe and until Greek Cypriots can demonstrate maturity and act like the EU members they consider themselves to be, reflecting a genuine desire for a solution this "occupation" will continue.

Don't throw stones in glass houses demetriou... it wasn't that long ago that the human rights records of both Greece and the Republic of Cyprus weren't exactly exemplary...
