In other words no matter how many troops the Turks have in Cyprus, and wheter VP is a Cypriot or not, something he/she must prove, my rights to my land and my patrimony cannot be altered by anyone.
Those who think that a few decades of foreign occupation will change things do not know Cypriots and have not read the history of Cyprus. Read the history of Lambousa. It will enlighten you.
We do not forget.
Good, than remember these too:
We are not invaders, we are Turkish Cypriots. It is YOU who became the invaders of this island when you attacked us to hand the island over to Greece. It is YOU who became the aggressor when you ousted our elected officials from the parliament. It is YOU who ripped the very fabric of the RoC when you bred and harbored an army in complete contravention to her constitution. And it is YOU who have denied peace on this island unless all of her children submitted to the rule of another country:
From "My Deposition" by Glafcos Clerides
(Alithia Publishing, 1990, Volume III, p. 270)
"I returned to Cyprus and reported to Makarios on my talks in Athens. I asked if, after assurances given by Papadhopoulos, he would agree for article 185 of the 1960 Constitution, which prohibited both ENOSIS and partition, to be incorporated in the new constitution. He raised his arms, which were resting on his desk and said: "You see, Glafcos, these hands, they can cut them off, but I will NOT sign again any Constitution excluding ENOSIS."
