Compare the posts of the Turks and compare the posts of the Greeks on this forum. The turks have no dissenters whatsoever, where among the Greeks you have constant debate among ourselves. Does anyone believe that Eoka was formed with the blessing of Greece, no. When papadopoulos came out and said that there will be oil drilling off the coast of cyprus did Greece know about it before hand? no. When the Greek General in Thrace was ordered to fire towards the Turks in 74, his reply "I would rather fire towards Athens". The Greek culture is created to form fierce individualism.
Among those indivuduals there r interest groups. Individuals in one interest group share the same interests and cooperates for same aims... All Neo-Fascist of Greece were behind of Grivas and EOKA. Greeks in Greece must be too stupid not to have any interest on Cyprus while US, UK, EU, Turkey, Russia have various type of interests on Cyprus.
