Just like to point out that the Turkish army never intended to take maras, in fact if the inhabanance did not flee it would be in gc control right now.
What a ridiculous comment !!!! First of all where is the proof that Turkey wouldn't of tried to take Varosha if the inhabitants didnt flee, even if that was the case how would the Famagustians have known that when they were being attacked and bombed mercilessly. They also knew what the Turkish army had already done to GC civilians in northern Cyprus up till then.
What do you expect to happen when the city was attacked, bombed and napalm bombed by the Turkish army/airforce, the inhabitants thought they would be back in a few days.
