A can of worms and Pandora's box is about to explode! Let's not forget the whole Island was Ottoman until it was leased to the British late 19thC. As G. Bush 1 failed to finish the job in 1991 so did the Turks in 1974!
All very polite, courteous well mannered replies to a new member to your forum, such is the life of expatriate Pomes! PS Gallipoli is the Brit spelling, Gelibolu is the correct one where my Great Uncle died at ANZC cove because of your wonderful leaders Churchill, Hamilton, Keyes, Kitchener etc.
I refer to your first very courteous post above
As for you being a new member on forum well I can only aknowledge that you only came here to be a little fish in a big pond as to being a big fish in a little pond over on Cy44 and have basically been shot to pieces.
i am sorry if you lost your great uncle at gallopoli .My father died shortly after my birth in 1956 as a result of wounds whilst serving in North Africa as part of Montgomery's desert rats but that would have nothing to do with the situation in Cyprus would it.?? so please do not expect a sympathy vote regards your loss.We are debating the present here and not the past.
