Then you should correct your half-baked friends that Cyprus is a Cypriot island or they should demand that the Greek military mobilizes to liberate them.
They're not my friends, but they are entitled to their opinions. However, I can't fight on two fronts as you seem to. So, I concentrate on the number one enemy to Cyprus' freedom which is the present occupier!
It's also against pushing its "guarantee" status to invade in a military operation against the Turks because it could legitimise the Turkish invasion in the name of using its "guarantee". It has to be the EU, not just Greece, so be patient.
The Greeks were shameless on the 15th of July 1974, when they overthrew the legitimate government of Cyprus in violation of this treaty you mention so why would they be ashamed to make amends now?
We've covered this. That was the junta and they did not have the support of the Greek people just as Sampson (a GC) did not have the support of the majority of the GCs for his part.
Present Greece is behaving in a totally different way, not interfering in case things get worse and it would continue to get the blame. That's why they have to ready the EU to kick out Turkey ... we cannot do it alone (Cypriots) or just with Greece ... it has to be through the EU.
But, it's foolhardy to deny Greece is our most reliable ally.
Reliable for what exactly? To pervert the Cypriot heritage and screw up the minds of our people with a bizarre situation that alegedly makes them “Greek” but not Greek enough to be entitled to military protection rendering them helpless?
They’re doing a perfect job at that…
You complain that "Greece" interfered in 1974 and now you want them to interfere unilaterally again?
No. I want the EU to help us kick out the Turks because it is now an EU problem not just a Cyprus Problem.
