The United Nations Agreements on Human Rights clearly state:


[Convention against Genocide]

This convention bans acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.

This is precisely what Turkey is carrying out, at this present time, in Cyprus.

I think its a case of who cares really ..... Turkey bears more weight than Greece these days and Cypriots don't count in the realm of International Community .... but hey .... we are a strong people and we will rise above it.

[Get Real!]

Blame the generals and susbequent Coup.

Utter rubbish! That's not what the convention says...

The IV. Geneva Convention of 1949

Artical. 49. Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.

Nevertheless, the Occupying Power may undertake total or partial evacuation of a given area if the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand. Such evacuations may not involve the displacement of protected persons outside the bounds of the occupied territory except when for material reasons it is impossible to avoid such displacement. Persons thus evacuated shall be transferred back to their homes as soon as hostilities in the area in question have ceased.

The Occupying Power undertaking such transfers or evacuations shall ensure, to the greatest practicable extent, that proper accommodation is provided to receive the protected persons, that the removals are effected in satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition, and that members of the same family are not separated.

The Protecting Power shall be informed of any transfers and evacuations as soon as they have taken place.

The Occupying Power shall not detain protected persons in an area particularly exposed to the dangers of war unless the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand.

The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

The Hague Convention

“Article. 55. The occupying State shall only be regarded as administrator and *usufructuary of the public buildings, real property, forests and agricultural works belonging to the hostile State, and situated in the occupied country. It must protect the capital of these properties, and administer it according to the rules of usufruct.”

“Article. 46. Family honours and rights, individual lives and private property, as well as religious convictions and liberty, must be respected.
Private property cannot be confiscated.”

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998) defines "the transfer directly or indirectly by the Occupying power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies" as a War Crime indictable by the International Criminal Court. (Article 7, Crimes Against Humanity.)

The majority of GCs voted for the ousted Makarios. GCs fought and died trying to overthrow the coupists. And instead of helping these GCs defeat the coupists, Turkey took the opportunity to steal the land of GCs.
