I say that you live on cloud nine and that it was the myopic view of the lawyers, priests and Grivas's at the time (all bash patriots) who started a form of a struggle that would inevitably lead to disaster as it did not took into consideration the forces involved in our area at the time. Damn it, even Greece was against it (we breath with two lungs, one English and the other American) and you have the audacity to repeat time and time again that it was the traitors like me (I was 5 at the time) that betrayed the struggle and not the miscalculations of the strategy needed regarding the form of struggle that would stand a more realistic chance to succeed.
I put it to you that if you are looking for traitor you do not need to look very far. They are in the soul of the bash patriots who continue until today to sell coal for gold, thinking that they will always be in a position to deceive the people with their bash patriotic rhetoric.
If the Imperialists could achieve their aims without traitors, then why did they use such traitors? Why for example didn't they bring more of their own troops to fight against our revolution and they instead hired TCs to do their dirty job?
If you prefer to call you idiot instead of traitor, then fine. I gave you this option before and you can take it if you believe it is more appropriate.
The fact is that we asked for nothing less and nothing more than what was our rights. For many decades we were asking to be allowed to peacefully and freely decide the destiny of our own island and this undisputed right was denied to us by the Imperialists. Revolution was our last resort, and if it wasn't for traitors/idiots like you, then we would have succeeded.
Revolution was what you got but not from GCs a large portion of the popultion who did not want to become part of Greece, its a 2 way street but you have yet to acknowledge that when democracy is used to the disadvantage of a large number of people they will do everything within their power to fight back and survive which is exactly what we did.
In what way would union with Greece disadvantage your community in Cyprus when compared to say the Greek community in Turkey?
Cyprus instead of being part of the Ottoman or British empires against the will of Cypriot people and with Cypriots being mere subjects of those empires imposed on us, it would be part of the Greek Republic, which was the wish of the vast majority of Cypriots, and all Cypriots would be equal Greek citizens, not subjects of some empire. None of your human rights would be violated if Cyprus was united with Greece.
How was it fine for you to impose the Ottoman empire on us for 300+ years, but not OK for the Cypriot people to democratically choose to be part of the Greek Republic?
Still we made a compromise to our RIGHT and accepted that Cyprus will not be part of Greece. Today there are very few Cypriots that support that such thing should happen. And although we made this and many other compromises, you made none and you are still trying to violate our human and democratic rights in order to create some "Turkish State" over territory which historically, for 1000s of years, had a GC majority.
You still have problems understanding that if the majority force a substantial part of their population into a situation such as enosis which for them is equal to death you will get a revolution and thats what happened. You brushed aside the concerns of the TCs as you do today and try to impose your will as you did in 1963 and even today during the talks, well that path will not work TCs will always fight for what they believe in even if it means assimilating to Turkey have no doubt we will do it.
You only compromised after you knew you had lost the battle and dont give me you were forced into the 1960 agreements you did it to get rid of the Brits thinking you could get rid of us later but you forgot one thing we belong here and are not going anywhere.
Equivalent to death for us (or ethnic cleansing at best) has been your partition aim. How was union with Greece equivalent with death for you? Rhodes island united with Greece in 1947 and your minority there not only was not killed, but they had a 20% increase in their population since then.
So stop trying to justify your crimes with baseless imaginary assumptions. The fact is that we asked for what was our RIGHT and you collaborated with foreign Imperialists and attacked us in order to deprive us from our rights and have gains on our expense.
