You had a window of opportunity between 1963 to 1974 to rid Cyprus of her TCs...Makarios' plan was working perfectly till the Greek Colonels rudely interrupted

Why do you have to lie in order to excuse the genocides and ethnic cleansings that Turks actually committed? Oh.. wait, you have to lie because otherwise you would have no excuse.

Here are the correct facts:

An average rate of annual growth for both communities between 1960 and 1973 was similar and amounted to 0,8%. In consequence, the ethnic distribution of the population did not change between 1960 and 1974 and the proportion of each community remained stable.

The fact is that partition (which entails ethnic cleansing) is something that the Turks were planning since the 50s. In fact the TCs initiated the conflict in the 50s in their effort to use the results of the conflict as an excuse for the partition of Cyprus.

Oh wait, that means no one actually left and they are still here!!

Dam, someone must have done a huge mistake counting, or maybe these people are still here somewhere hiding?

Buried underground maybe?

Should we have another population exchange, to settle the Cyprus Problem?

If one Turk is worth a thousand-to-million infidels, then we can send back the 200,000 Turk-TCs inhabiting the north of Cyprus to Turkey, in exchange for the remaining 200 or so Christian Greeks in Turkey ...

Don't you think that if they really had wished to live here, they would have already done so?

How about we collect all the racist people from this island and send them to one of Germany's finest concentration camps?

They can pursue an easy and quite life there, away from us, the real humans.

I think that would be a blast, and great for the future of this country!

The only practicing racists in this country are the Turk-TCs who ethnically cleansed half of Cyprus of Greeks. Yes, getting rid of these racist, Apartheid-inducing Turk-TCs would be great for the future of Cyprus.

But, you're right the Greeks of "turkey" would hate to leave their homeland of thousands of years; but even there, the Turks managed to ethnically cleanse and genocide millions of them over just a few centuries.

What you call "ethnic cleansing" was a reaction to the ethnic cleansing you have attempted, by trying to kick out people who lived here for 100s of years.

They shouldn't have been backstabbing bastards.

The world revolves around immigration, no one really gives a toss if a few Greeks "never left their homeland for thousands of years", thats your problem, you cannot own a place by simply being there. If you have issues with that then take it up to the Americans or the Ozzies who are holding other peoples lands, still!

Unless of course, you really have created the Earth and the skies above, then I guess we would all have to listen to your bias illusions about how the world should be!

I do not feel inclined to try to persuade people who have already decided that only they and their community have suffered in this mindless bloody conflict...Unfortunately for those people, some us have lived through the 50s and 60s in Cyprus,and know first hand what it was like to be a TC in those days...It is these closed,racist ,fanatical minds (on both sides)who helped create the present situation,and it is still them who are an obstacle to a solution...As I said,the sight of the millionth Turkish settler will make some of us bitterly smile at the poetic and, perhaps, divine justice of it all...It won't bring back our homeland which is lost forever,but a certain peace of mind that the racists,the denialists, and fanatic Turk/TC haters will never get their own way in Cyprus...It is little comfort,I know...

Yeah well it is better than nothing Bir.

I still wish it didn't have to be this way, but oh well, there isn't a whole lot one can do about it, c'est la vie!
