i ask if there was a war in cyprus would you go and fight for the greeks?

i can honeslty say that i would not join up. after reading the Memoirs of General Grivas i can say that gurieulla warfare is much more effective when fighting an army that out numbers you. EOKA B was just a cheap imintation.

power can be taken but respect must be earned. and given the choice i would rather be feared than respected becasue respect wears off as fear is for life.

A war in Cyprus a very complex subject , I would fight only if I knew that I was fighting with my Greek brothers for a solution that makes sence , and in my opinion there is only one solution , and the Cyprus I know would never accept it. I refuse to flip flop on the discussion of Greek land.

The Greek maniac plan //
Phase one : Turkish army removal.
Phase two : Settlers must all go back to Turkey
Phase three: Cyprus becomes Greek state ( 1960 constitution is removed greek flag becomes official)
Phase four: All displaced peoples are returned to their homes GC & TC.
Phase five: All people have equal rights under European laws
Phase six: Turkey must sign for a second time that she has no claim to Cyprus (and hopefully obey the law this time)
Phase seven:The British bases stop being British land , and think of the bases as a lease and pay the government what is due including back pay.
Phase seven:The turkish cyprians are given a choice as to the school they want to attend , if turkish the government will help build schools in order for the maintenance of language, tradition and culture.

My brother, one day there will be an hour when all Greeks draw swords together, shoulder rifles and begin our march back to our homelands in Minor Asia, Cyprus will just be a small part of this liberation operation.

THIS HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER FOR ALL THE OCCUPYING FORCES OF GREECE AND ALL TRAITORS OF THE GREEK STATE.

1 .The war of Independence 1821
2 .1832 The creation of modern Greece (john capodistria)
3 . Meyali idea is born
4 .1881 Thessaly and Epirus
5 .1897 Greece declares war lands troops on Crete (European powers intervene and save the Turks)
6 .1890 Greece moves to Macedonia ( European powers intervene Turkey receives money and small amount of land on thessaly border , First time in 100 years Greece gives up land to Turkey)
7 . 1912Greece declares war on Turkey Greece occupies thessaloniki
8 .Greek army moves towards Constantinople ( Eurpean powers intervene to save the Turks)
9 .1913 Greece goes to war with Bulgaria Greece gets Macedonia,Crete, and the Agean Islands.
10 .1913 WW1 the allies offer Smyrna Cyprus , and Constantinople to enter war
11 . WW1 ends the Ottoman empire comes to end Greece gets Thrace Smyrana and large part of western Anatolia 12 .1919 -22 the Greco-Turkish war ends in disaster for Greeks thanks to the back stabbing European powers Greece loses Smyrna
13 . 1939 WW2 Italy declares war on Greece and suffers a humiliating loss Germany comes to its assistance and has a very hard time conquering the stubborn Greeks
14 . 1947 Greece gets Dodecanese from Italy
15 .These were the last Greek speaking areas to be united with the Greek state leaving only Cyprus
16 . 1955 Greeks fight the British on the island of Cyprus for Enosis(EOKA)
17 . 1960 Makarios sells Cyprus out (needless to say European powers fuck us again)
18 .1963 Greeks fight for Enosis and the TC who have been recruited by the British forces
19 .1974 Greeks fight for Enosis and the TC who have been recruited by the British forces
20 . Eoka tries too reinstate the Greek government to its rightfull land
21 . Turkey uses Greek problems as excuse to invade a small island at its weakest point with US arms and a guarantee from the international community that they will no intervene Greece is held back by puppet regime .
21 .2005 38% of the the Greek island of Cyprus is occupied by the Turks
22 . As ive said Greece still remains in a state of war one day corrupt politicians will stop running the country and real men will take control.

Final note to occupying forces and traitors I want you to pay attention to the trend that has developed since 1821 Greece will unite all its people and land under the Greek state its just a matter of time .

under EU law you can not chuck people out.

should keep the cyprus flag

Greekmaniac wrote:Phase four: All displaced peoples are returned to their homes GC & TC.


many people may not want to return back to their home as they have began a new life in another country, however they should have their land returned if they want.

Greekmaniac wrote:Phase five: All people have equal rights under European laws



this has been the case sinse may 1st

will never happen. When the british gave back cyprus they did not give back the land where the bases were.
