Seems the Turkish propaganda has been so
successful, it's now completely taboo to link Cyprus with Greece but perfectly acceptable to link Cyprus with Turkey.
And we have the 'Cypriots' to blame for this cowardice ...
So, Oracle you were just pulling the other one.
Says a lot, and confirms my suspicious, that you could have for a moment entertained the possibility of such a stance!
If the Ottomans ever wanted to 'ethnically cleanse Cyprus of its Greek speaking polulation after 1571, they would surely had done so. The fact that the Greek speaking Cypriots are still a majority speaks for itself.
STOP inciting hatred and feeding the 'Gray Wolves'. We love you all, really.
The Ottomans have wanted to do different things to Cyprus at different periods of time! Enslavement by taxation, slave labour, work horses to keep the country going and finally taking what they want from them and ethnic cleansing as much as they could
get away with at the time.
The very fact you state it was a matter of if they
"wanted to" ethnically cleanse they would have, shows the extent of the power you grant them.
There is no inciting hatred on my part, when half our country is being occupied by Turkish troops and their people! I have every right to demand restoration of Human Rights for my racially segregated people.
Are you seriously saying one should shut up and take it because it is the 'Uber-Ottomans' we are dealing with here?
Without doubt it is such attitudes which have brainwashed some vulnerable GCs into an anti-Hellenic movement.
