"keeping Greece in NATO and deploy the huge American fascilities into her soil..."

And where exactly in Greece are these "huge facilities"?

Having lived in Greece for the last 35 years and traveled around a lot, I do not know of any facilities except for the one in Crete and that is not "huge" by any stretch of the imamgination, it is in fact a fraction of the size of the Akrotiri base in Cyprus.

Let us keep to the facts and not indulge in flights of fancy.

Have the bodies killed by eoka been deducted from the total? they were used as propaganda to inflate figures, typical GC mentality.

Nikitas, it sounds like you were just a living dead somewhere in Greece; traveling just in your dreams.... The Souda Bay in Crete is the most important US military Base.. it's large enough to accomodate the entire 6th fleet...

Other major US military bases are Iraklion Air Base, Nea Makri and Kato Souli communications sites which are part of DCS.. the fourth main base is at Hellenikon a major support base for USAFE and MAC... these are only some of the major bases... Greece also hosts 68 US warheads...

In addition, there are 20 facilities that support the foru main US bases in Greece...

In which Greece you've lived Nikitas? The ancient one?

A quick reminder to those Turks who condemn the GC population as "murderous" ...

If 800 GCs were killed by TCs, and also 800 TCs killed by GCs ... then be sure that this means a greater proportion of the (15%) TCs are murderers than are those from the (82%) GC population!

Imagine how many more murderous TCs lurk in the population if we were to find that more GCs were killed than even TCs ...

"Other side of the coin"? ... Yup ....

insan : I don't believe that I have ever suggested anyone join Greece or anyone be ruled by Grecians as you put it. Ever since I have been on this forum I have spoken about a unified cyprus where all Cypriots regardless of their linguistic or cultural background live in peace and equality. At the same time I will not accept arguments that TC's are isolated due to any other factor than the one they are violating human rights and need to face consequences.

Furthermore, I agree that TC's have in the past suffered at the hands of some GC's Tochni is an a shameful example. At the same time GC's have suffered at the hands of TC's and Turks .... my grandmother lost her son and my mother her brother.

However, I still advocate for a united Cyprus where we are all equal. Therefore I do not accept halil's comments and particularly him mocking my username and insisting that he wanted to meet me last time I was in Cyprus. I do not wish to meet any Cypriot that claims he / she is better than the rest and therefore have the right to deny them their homes and properties.

We know.....And that is why the GREEKS spent so much time blaming all the deaths and missing people on the `Turks...Both sets of figures turned out to be lies!!!!

I too would like a unfied Cyprus, even a unified world where all human beings regardless of their linguistic or cultural background live in peace and equality... but I'm also aware of that without virtuous politicians and common grounds on common interests; it's ust a dream... what unifies us is our common grounds on common interests otherwise talking about unification is ust a rhetoric that does not yield any result towards what we wish...

I too acknowledged the sufferings of all Cypriots but i don't advocate a unfied Cyprus anymore for various reasons which i reiterated on this forum many times... We are all free to advocate whatever we believe would be better for Cyprus, Cypriots and others...

As for Halil "mocking" your forum nick... believe me he has no ill-intention... it's a typical Cypriot behavior the way he calls you... if you directly tell him that you are disturbed the way he calls your nick; I'm sure he would stop "mockingly" use your nick... and you are free to meet or not to meet anyone you like or do not like...

When did Halil claim he was better than others and therefore had the right to deny them their homes and properties?

I'm not sure what exactly Halil thinks about the homes and properties of GCs but I many times expressed my opinions about how should the issues related the homes, properties and political rights of TCs/GCs be resolved in a united or divided Cyprus...

Man are you ever OUT OF DATE!!!!

All the facilities mentioned above were closed in the 1980s!!!!

You need to check out your reference guides, maybe buy some new ones. Ellinikon is the old airport of Athens, where the Americans had one terminal facility, closed in 1989, used for Olympic installations (Canoe Kayak) and now scheduled to be turned into a park/conference center. You probably saw some of the events on TV in 2004. Google Earth will show the status of Ellinikon as a derelict airport. No planes have landed there since 2003.

Souda bay is a refuelling station and nothing more.

As for the nukes, these were stockpiled in the north of Greece and removed twenty years ago.

Who is ancient around here is obvious.
