In the back of my mind something niggles me; the threat of a guerilla warfare to gain their losses. I hope my fears are groundless.


We don't need to resort to "guerrilla warfare" ... We are in the EU and should have enormous manpower and resources available to us to free our country from the invader.


Thank you Oracle; youre words are so re-assuring. Please talk to GR :lol:

The turks do not need to invade, they are thinking long term 50 to 100 years by then there will be no original turkish cypriots left just turks !!


yes they are destroying anything tc and replacing them with turks of cyprus the very thing they invaded to supposevly stop they are doing themselvs..

in the end turkey will anialate the tcs not gcs as the turks say we tried to kill you people off..

but they dont care, tc and gcs have to many words the same their aim is to turkify the north cyprus it always was.

they still will have nothing to gain by invading infact they will lose and gain nothing.. for what reason would they invade?

sure at the start just after the invasion turks tried to pull gc army men into the buffer zone so they have an excuse to shoot them but its not like that .. well mostly.. apart from the odd turks that scream abuse from the walls in nicosia to people passing.

imo another war wont happen

Can this be the same EU that 5 years ago was urging the GCs to accept the UN-brokered Anan Plan? I don't think that you would have any support for any military action having rejected that plan, whatever your reasons were.

NOOOOOOOOO, how did the EU even think of it. They will now have to work another 35 years to get the next plan out which will be about 35% worse than the Annan plan. Back to square one each and every time.

Yes. You see that's where the mistake is made. If you offer people an unacceptable proposal they will, understandably, not accept.

And then, if you offer them an even worse proposal, they will, understandably, not accept again, in even greater numbers. Back, as you say, to square one.

Free Cypriots would prefer the status quo to Annan – or anything worse than Annan. At least they remain Cypriot. At least they remain free.

Isn't that the theory of Diminishing Return.

No. It's common sense. The only thing diminishing, disappearing even, are Cypriots in the north.
