Papadopoulos for saving us all from the Ankara Plan. For not bowing to Turkish pressure and out foxing them. May he RIP.

The other wankers don't even come close, they would have sold us out for a few bucks. Makarios is too old hat to even consider today.

Halil, you are an arsehole. I guess you know why.

Makarios with Clerides running a close second for completely different reasons.

F*** off!


Reh Toffoui, it's true mate, Big Mak fekked CY good and proper. Big Mak tried to assaninate himself, ... and invaded CY with hundreds of black-robed priests in '74 and slaughtered thousands of CYs under cover of those nice boys, Halil's Peace Makers, the TA.

Some fakiring.


Makarios "betrayed" his military masters in Greece, Denktash did not. This Halil, admitedly was not pretty, but what about Kuchuk (i know i mispelled his name, sorry) , that was not pretty either.

...thank-you just the same for saying it, Makarios is a Cypriot, and he was a great President as well.

If one takes a critical look at Makarios's presidency one cannot reach the conclusion that he was a great President. He made fundamental errors of judgement that have cost Cyprus dearly. He never accepted that the struggle for enosis had failed and that for all intense and purposes was dead. He attempted to continue this ill fated struggle after independence. Against all odds he tried unilaterally to revise the Zurich agreements and even the Greek government failed to dissuade him otherwise. Karamanlis told him that such a move needed to be political, to be undertaken at a measured pace and that the co-operation of the Turkish Cypriots themselves was to be sought. Makarios also thought that he could use the cold war to his advantage and he started messing about with the big boys. He has great responsibility for what has happened to Cyprus, I am afraid.

mr B, he sat first to the right beside the Queen, that says something.

giving us the third option of non-aligned, was good sense in that Cold War.

...and me too, i gotta say amazing, housing hundreds of thousands displaced.

none of them are the greatest it seems, whilst there is the Problem. but each

with their unique distinctions; let's hope Christofias pulls a rabbit out of his hat.

Makapios?? Pleeeese!! loool!! He got peoples attention from him being an Arch Bishop which you should not involve your self in Politics if you belong to the Church. Am I wrong? Please let me know. he knew that the British were no good sh*t stiring animals and he still had a seat next to the Queen.

Im not old enough to know Makarios but I have read and heard allot about him. He even stated in one interview that the British are not doing as they sais that they will do and he still signed over the Bases to them.

I think most of you who are the 33% are British.
