The coup was funded by other countries as well as the Greek junta...

Taken from Speech made to the UN by Makarios on the 19th July 1974.

For some time talks were going on between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots in search of a peaceful solution to the Cyprus problem, which on many occasions has occupied the time of the Security Council and the General Assembly of the United Nations. The representative of the Secretary General and two constitutional experts from Greece and Turkey have been attending the talks. The Security Council has repeatedly renewed, twice yearly, the mandate of the peace-keeping force in Cyprus, expressing every time hope for a speedy solution of the problem.

It cannot be said that up to now the progress of the talks has been satisfactory. But how could there be any progress in the talks while the policy on Cyprus of the regime in Athens has been double-faced? It was agreed by all the parties concerned that the talks were taking place on the basis of independence. The regime of Athens also agreed to that, and time and again the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared that the position of Greece on this issue was clear. If that were the case, why had the military regime of Greece created and supported the terrorist organisation 'EOKA B', whose purpose was stated to be the union of Cyprus with Greece and whose members called themselves 'unionists'?

ΕΘΝΙΚΗ... when did Cyprus become an Ethnos?

Can we have your views on what the TCs suffered both in 1963 and 1974 the knife cuts both ways.

My view is that Turkish Cypriots' mistake has been to allow themselves to be used as proxies for Turkish strategic interests both in the 1960s and in 1974. In doing so, they have debased themselves and become morally corrupted in the process. Their degradation is the result of their own moral weakness and entirely self-inflicted.

In the face of enosis what did you expect that they support their own death warrant.

Typical scare tactics. Keep people in a state of constant fear, make them believe that your way is the best (namely occupation and partition), that only you can truly protect them. There is no alternative, unless you want to sign your own death warrant. Brilliant, truly inspired.

1155. Again, if the purpose of a settlement of the Cyprus question is to be the
preservation rather than the destruction of the State, and if it is to foster
rather than to militate against the development of a peacefully united people, I
cannot help wondering whether the physical division of the minority from the
majority should not be considered a desperate step in the wrong direction. I am
reluctant to believe, as the Turkish-Cypriot leadership claims, in the
"impossibility" of Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots learning to live together
again in peace. In those parts of the country where movement controls have been
relaxed and tensions reduced, they are already proving otherwise.

Did you read about that mortar accident that happened last week? The few TCs living in the "RoC" would have been hard to hit "by accident" but imagine the consequences of it landing on a TC village Why do people try to ignore the realities that exist? The tension will take far longer to dismiss than any talks ever will.

Hello Natty,

The Fascist NeoPartitionist need an excuse to justify the present division and future Taksim dreams, so the Enosis word will always be used, as if there was never a Taksim desires by the likes of Denktash long before 1960. The 1960 constitution was based on having Enosis and Taksim, hence the unworkable constitution that was created. VP wants everyone to believe, had Hitler was never born, there would never have been a Nazi Germany, as if the world was short of Fascists. Hitler was just one more. VP wants to distract readers, that had there never been a Enosis dreams by the GCs, there never would have been a division today. He fails to understand, that had there never been Enosis Dreams, it does not mean that there never would have been Taksim dreams all the same. Despite Enosis dreams have been long extinguished, VP wants to continue with his Taksim dreams all the same, which tells me, the likes of him, the Fascist's, would have pushed for Taksim whether there was any Enosis Dreams or not, and perhaps even a complete Enosis Cyprus with Turkey altogether. Now, that would have really made the Fascists day.!

What makes us an ETHNIC GROUP? According to you, we have "brothers" in the north, who do not speak our language, do not share our religion, the vast majority doesn't share heritage with us, yet you call them Cypriots...

A Cypriot is a mixture of Greeks, Armenians, Maronites and Latins. Get that in your head. What's next? Americans being an ethnic group?
