No, I wasn't sarcastic at all.
That was a great Circus Parade of a puppet state

as concequence, as a typical british, u enter this forum and u r trying to start fires. and even worse trying to get tc against gc. i would like to thank u for your attempts, but we r already good enough doing that ourselves.

Whilst you normally write sense cypezokyli, I find the above remark offensive and generalised... Brian does not represent a 'typical' British person, I know of no other British person that has ever been deported from Cyprus. There are also a number of other British people on this forum and none of them try to 'start fires'. I hope you're referring to the British government rather than its people.

I'm always suspicious of any state that has to annually parade its arsenal through the streets of its capital.

Puppet or not its ours and we feel safe being part of it, if you degrade the north so much (and there is a lot of bitterness in your comments) dont you think its a reflection on yourselves, that the TCs would rather live in a puppet state than in "RoC" with you guys. Theres no restrictions why arent thousands of TCs flocking back to the ho non Puppet south, before exploding think before you reply....

Greek Cypriots Used Turkish Bullets in Cyprus "Peace Operation"
By Gurbuz Ozturk, Ersan Temizel Published: Thursday July 21, 2005

Apparently, Greek Cypriots had used bullets made by Turkey's Machine and Chemistry Industry Institution (MKEK) against Turkish soldiers during the Cyprus Peace Operation ordered by the former Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit in July 1974.
Retired Turkish Senior Infantry Colonel Feridun Celenk, who attended the peace operation 31 years ago, announced they had found munitions sealed by the MKEK in locations they seized. Celenk reminding Turkey's task as ascribed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was to "produce the bullets of light arms" said, "Bullets that we supplied to NATO members were used by Greek Cypriots against us." "The bullets might have been transferred to the Greek Cypriot side by Greece," he added.

A MKEK announcement confirmed the existence of such a pool of military supplies among the NATO countries but said arms obtained there were strictly monitored.
Cyprus Peace Operation veterans spoke to Zaman at the Turkey Combatants and War Veterans Association in Cebeci town of Ankara on the 31st anniversary of the action. They told about what they had experienced. President of the association former colonel Celenk noted arms transfer to the Greek Cypriots was made through Greece. He underlined the bullets supplied to NATO members can only be used against non-NATO members. And they were shocked regarding how Turkish bullets could have been in the hands of the Greek Cypriots despite the NATO rule. "We could not stop an anti-aircraft machine gun constantly shooting on top of a hill in the Dikoma region. Our troop commander shouted, 'Stop this!' He ordered a team to paralyze the anti-aircraft gun. Our troops stormed the hill, stopped it, and seized boxes of MKEK bullets there. We laughed, when we saw the bullets." Celenk also explained that British bases on island during the operation had openly helped Greek Cypriots.

Retired Senior Infantry Colonel Sukru Tandogan also expressed weapon production is based on an international division of labor among the NATO members and each member obtains arms from this common pool when necessary. Tandogan, therefore, noted that Greece could have obtained bullets from this pool since it was a member of NATO.

Nothing has been mentioned from the Gc side all these years. I don;t know wether to believe it or not, afterall why the TRs didn't say anything for 31 years?
Another propaganda attempt maybe?

Look who are talking for rules...

You are sometimes becoming disgusting.
If you dont respect others,you should not respected. Maybe that flag is fine.
It reminds you, never underestimate others.
