The Ottoman Genocide of the indigenous people of Cyprus…

First your trying to tell me to become educated from your own published website GetReal Copyright 2009 you do host it dont you?
What I am facinated for you to tell me is how does being under an Empire Rule comparing genocide 1570-1878 what you claim to RoC declaring independence from british rule and the genocide under the declaration of independence over 11 years the same?
Here is something out of your link
In accordance with the UN General Assembly’s resolution 260 A (III) of 1948, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide has the following explanation:
Article 1
The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish.
Article 2
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Well Well Well what have we got here seems to me actions taken by EOKA-B and G/C polititians after 1948 nicely falls into place here oh wait the double standards of the world I forgot and you must forgotten aswell.
Just another little thing this resolution was created 1948 Ottoman was long gone. You can't punish someone for doing something when you create the law afterwards. Thats why if the same action was taken today war crime charges will be punished to the perpetrator oh wait the double standards of the world again Georgios Grivas I forgot and you must of forgotten aswell.
Again whatever our actions were under the Ottoman Rule it was an empire as to the Roman Empire and the many empires that conquered Cyprus many many deaths for many many purposes. You watch Braveheart William Wallace maybe you should charge him with Genocide
But the actions of G/C politicians was under the Declaration of Independence and as you support after 1948 UN resolution.
