TheY are adamently aposed to any alliences with any trnc political party, and although members have differing views about what the best Cyprus solution would be the group itself does not support any one 'solution' so how are they facists? The video is just encouraging turkish and tcs to vote, what is wrong with that?
Omer when did you meet Ipek what happened?
How to they antagonise gcs?
Three points....
1. Embargoed encourages Turkish and T/Cs to vote, I agree with that, but not so they receive representation rather to lobby for TRNC recognition. They do so by identifying which MPs are friends of the TRNC and which are 'pro-Greek.' The 'Greeks' are identified as the enemy.
Look below:

They present G/Cs as enemies:

“Just about every aspect of life is blocked by Greek Cypriot action,” Ipek Ozerim
By creating the G/Cs as the enemy - they are promoting ethnic hatred, which I'm sure you agree we Cypriots have too much of already.
2. Check out numerous posts left by their chair Fevzi Hussein and other members on Cyprus Mail, Hurriyet English....where they blame / attack G/Cs.....
Their member Suzan Nuri whose picture on Embargoed's website http://www.embargoed.org/membership.php recently generalised about G/Cs calling them all a "petulant lot." http://www.londragazete.com/yazar.asp?yaziID=7345
Isn't this a form of xenophobia?
3. A good way to understand where a group stands is by looking at its links / friends. Why do Embargoed have a link here on this pro-TRNC/nationalist website?

One embargoed member is pictured here with members of ATCA delivering a letter to Downing Street. Coincidence? Or fighting for the same cause?
