Cyprus: Death at High Noon
Friday, Feb. 14, 1964

Dwindling Villages. It will take gifted diplomacy to put Cyprus back together again. As clash follows clash between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, the island, which is three-fourths the size of Connecticut, tends to become two countries instead of one, with two rival administrations, two police forces and two unmanageable rival armies. Originally there were 106 villages where Greeks and Turks lived together in peace if not in amity. Only 23 remain. From the others, Greeks and Turks—most often Turks—have fled to join their compatriots elsewhere. Last week the Turkish flag flew over much of northern Cyprus from the seaport of Famagusta to the Turkish town of Lefka (see map). Throughout most of the rest of the island, Greeks are in control.

I've already posted that, and you should go easy on the articles from 50 years ago because they serve no purpose anymore.

VP you are such a twat.

I've now come to the conclusion you must be a mainland turk. No true Cypriot would be happy to give us his country like you to murdering bastards.

Come on VP what do you say about the article about the TC that witnessed the murders of 350 GC's.

Dont me crap about how the TC's were slaughtered in the 60's. I'm asking you about the murder of 350 unarmed POW's. does it make you feel proud to be a turk?
