i agree with get real. greece has never done any good for cyprus

They "encouraged" us to join the EU.

True but they also gave turkey an excuse to invade and split our island in two

That wasn't Greece. That was an illegal dictatorship puppet government of the USA.

Ifi am not mistaken they threated the coup earlier but makarios went to america and they stopped turkey.. then greece threatened the coup again but the second time makarios ignored the warnings

I'm not trying to say America was innocent , they even gave the weapons to turkey as you know and pretended to not know they would use it to attack cyprus they just warned turkey no one would recognise the state ever.

But greece should of never sent people to kill makarios and put that idiot sampson man in charge

That's like saying Germany was not responsible for WW11 because Hitler was an illegal dictatorship....

There is only one way Greece can redeem itself! Now stop making excuses for your cowardice and start taking responsibility for your actions...

There are dozens of similar examples but what's the point?

Some people just can't handle their beloved Greece being bad/wrong...

During the coup, Greece was ruled by a bunch of dictators that came to power by force. Nicos Sampson, the local coupist, on the other hand, was a parliamentarian: an elected representative of the people of Cyprus and the leader of the fourth most popular party

In 1970 Sampson became a member of the Parliament of Cyprus as a founder and leader of one of the main parties of Cyprus, the Progressive Party (Proodeftikoi). In a poll, Sampson's Party was voted second most popular in Famagusta district and fourth overall.

It proves that the coup was more popular in Cyprus than in Greece. If an elected party leader takes orders from a military junta it says a lot about the people who voted for him. No one voted for Ioannides

greece as a whole has very much resposibility in the cyprus issue.It may have been orchestrated by a illegal regime however the junta was by then a mess.Greek officers at forward positions could have prevented alot with there advance weapons(209 subs,f-4).THE JUNTA fell three days after the invasion by then turkey had roughly 3-5% of territory.Karamanlis had many options he could have taken to help the sitution in cyprus and there is were the greatest fault lies.Attila 2 started 3 weeks after karamnlis took over the govt.WHat did he do?nothing

Fine.

In that case who was our President at the time Turkey invaded?

It was our "beloved" President Sampson. He was in charge of Cyprus at the time of the invasion. So, it's our fault, is it, the people of Cyprus; because our President Sampson was the reason Turkey invaded! What a load of bollox you do talk when you try to emulate GR! ....

No it's still Greece's fault because it did orchestrate the coup thus placing Sampson in charge for 5 days.

The only thing left for Greece now is to take responsibility for it's actions.

Nice try, but you can do a bit better than that....

Paphitis what's wrong with you? Hitler was not an "illegal dictator", he was the elected Chancellor of Germany and that's why there IS collective responsibility for the WW2 crimes
