I don't think so!! If you lot weren't so damned greedy in the first place, the turkish army wouldn't have had to intervene in the first place!!
I agree atrocities did occur...but you lot weren't so sqeaky clean either...you did just as much savaging...so please stop whining on about how hard done by you are, it's like listening to a schoolyard bully crying to his mama coz the little guy stuck up for himself, and actually hurt you!!
I realise it is only a handful of you...constantly moaning on and on...but you make it sound like every single person that uses this site agrees with you...well, quite obviously it isn't, there are only about 10 of you spouting lies and propaganda, it's almost as though you are getting paid for spending hours upon hours of keeping your venom alive!!
Just face the facts...your version of 1960's history is sketchy to say the least, maybe it's because if you admitted what you did to the turks in the first place, your arguments would be belly laughed at, and that wouldn't get any of your land back!!
The only thing the turks can blamed for, is becoming complacent, and believing everyone would be able to move forward...they made their point....in fact the fact that they only went as far as nicosia, shows great restraint on their part!!
As for this Orams ruling, yes the battle has been won, but the war is far from over.
Please don't bother to bombard this post with tons of copying and pasting of your biased opinions...it doesn't impress anyone...it just shows your inability to search for the REAL truth!!
I would like to finish by saying, that i do not tar every user of this board with the use of spiteful vitriolic and downright lies and propaganda that the very few you do!!
I wonder how much you get paid for spending every waking hour at your computer spouting all this crap!! Maybe i could get one too

Welcome to CF the land of free expression. May I suggest you put down your copy of "Genocide files" and take note that the first intercommunal massacre took place in 1958 at Guenyeli where TCs murdered 8 GCs furthermore in 1954 the TC leader Kuchuk said: -
"Turkey, as the initial owner of the island just before the British occupation, has a first option to Cyprus. The matter does not end there. From a worldwide political point of view as well as from geographical and strategical points of view Cyprus must be handed to Turkey if Great Britain is going to quit." How would you feel being 80% of the population and handed back to Turkey?
You cannot look at the Cyprus Problem without taking the conflict between Turkey and Greece over centuries into account, for instance what happened in Istanbul in 1955. Both sides must share the blame, just because the TCs are in the minority does not mean they are always right. Part of the problem is the TC assertion that they are, as a community, GC's equal. How can that be, they are one fifth of the population, where in the world was such a minority ever granted the right of veto over the majority? Cyprus was the only British colony not granted majority rule, the so called safeguards in the 1960 Constitution had exactly the opposite effect to those intended, the Greek Cypriots resented the descendants of the Ottomans maintaining control over them.
The "trnc" is not recognised as a legal State. There is no such thing as "exchange" land. The carpetbaggers have been mugged by the "trnc", lured by a cheap place in the sun.
Can you oblige by giving us verified examples of GC greed? Can you prove your claim that we are paid to "spout crap"? You typically support the under dog, you believe the propaganda of the north, you too have been mugged!
PS if you would like a more balanced view of Cypus history and the conflict I suggest you take a look at : -
