This is the same out-dated and reactionary mentality that blames the victim of rape for "provoking" the rapist. No doubt Bananiot also believes that most rapes are "invited" by women.
UN resolutions and international law clearly view the Republic of Cyprus as the victim of Turkish aggression. Only Turkey argues that it was "provoked" to invade and occupy Cyprus. It's shameful enough that Turkey attempts to justify its campaign of ethnic cleansing by blaming Greek Cypriots but it's particularly strange to hear this view espoused by someone I presume is a Greek Cypriot.
It takes a particular kind of self-hatred and identification with the aggressor to come up with this bizarre form of self-flagellation.
Good Post Hermes, very well articulated, bravo.
