With respect repulse,
I do not defend any nation that condones violence. No country in the region hasn't gotten their hands dirty at one stage or another. I do not condone the theft of any land. But before land comes life in my book, TCs did not end up with any more land than they have left behind.
The situation is not easy, compromise is necessary on both sides if there is to be any healing, BUT
what anyone really observing can see in the animosity continually shown by GCs even pre-1974 towards TCs and continues to be perpetuated by freaks like Oracle and Get Real, Aopel FC, the Church, and every action taken by the GC govt, they are a real danger to life and freedom of TCs.
Can anyone honestly say the TCs have the same bloodlust vis-a-vis the other side of the border? Think how much time and energy TCs place into defending themselves, they are truly passive in comparison. Manyana is the mantra - or technically "gorelim."
Unsure but trusting, they voted yes in 2004.
I look at the ECHR judgements and see the TCs couldn't even muster the intelligence to protest to the quality of the title for which the GC plaintifs are suing - and trying to introduce it at a later stage is simply being rejected by the court.
By looking at the cumulative actions of the GCs they show themselves to be calculating manipulative neighbours. How can you both have lost your land (like the GCs) and have your rights usurped (unlike the GCS)and yet find yourself under embargoes (unlike the GCS) - and or the mad ones that want to lash out at Turkey again, the isolation did not start in 1974 with Turkey intervening, they were placed by GCs on TCs years before!
It's no speech, I respect the Greek people I meet from Athens, I laughed when they shared their view that Papad was a maniac. Turkey another country I respect. Both nations are getting on, buying companies in each others countries, finding ways of working together, learning each others' languages and compromising despite their various issues.
It is a curse but I love my country and my people are beautiful, they have suffered much and continue to suffer, but at least they are alive. God help us if we fall into the hands of GCs again as every action they take is the action only your worst enemy would take.
