The government in the 50s was run by the British, not the church, so the church didn't have the ability to conduct a referendum. The church simply collected a vast amount of signatures from people that supported the idea of union with the rest of Greece. The British refused to hold a referendum in Cyprus (as they did in Gibraltar) because they knew that the result of the referendum would not be one that would suit them.

You wrote your "Humble Opinion" many times and I disagree with many of what you say, but there is no reason to repeat myself. What I will ask you again is: Who should decide about the destiny of Cyprus? You, the governments of UK and Turkey, or the Cypriot people by free and democratic means?

You can have an opinion, but you can not possibly believe that the opinion of a foreigner can count more than the opinion of the vast majority of Cypriots when it comes to deciding the destiny of Cyprus.

... - the complete removal of Turkish influence from our island.

But there are no guarantees my dear that upon a complete Turkish exodus from Cyprus, the Greek mother-harlot wearing a white sheet and an olive branch on her head, will not sense a void and return to continue unhindered the spreading of the Greek mythological stupor, is there now?

Greece won't "spread" anything. Doesn't have to! The native Greeks - who are the majority - will continue to rule our unique Greek island as we did before the foreign invaders arrived.

See how all this Greek shit was the crux of the problem from the start and today is the main prolongation of the Turkish occupation?

Looks like a catch 22, unless we sacrifice something eh… and it can’t be Cyprus!

Even you don't believe the turkophiles' propaganda that Turkey is only here because this is a Greek-"influenced" Island. They are here because they want to be anywhere and everywhere and we were weak and isolated. So we have to be united, with Greece and the rest of the EU and with anyone else who is wary of Turkish expansionism. But feel free to carry on as a one-man-show, minority of minorities, expressing your lonely opinion. The native Greek majority are on the right path.

Turkey is probbaly herr arising out of a feeling of distrust of Greece and Megalistic Ideas - they sey Cyprus as a Stategic location, control of which by Greece would povide opportunties for Greece to impose a stranglehold over their entire Southern Coast.

For this reason any attempt at Enosis, in particular once Turkey had recovered from the Economic effects of the 2nd World War was likely to result in agressive action to prevent Enosis or at least neutralise it by Partition.

This failure to take into account Turkey's concerns was a key factor in the events from 1950 onwards and each time you spout on about Enosis or recovery of lands in Western Anatolia the more you contribute to their insecurities and to the continued occupation of Cyprus.

And, why should Greece and Turkey, Turks and Greeks, forever be at each others throat? Haven't the nationalists, from both sides, quenched their thirst for blood all these years? Can we not now, with the apparent blessing of mother nature, make a new start and forge an eastern Mediterranean of peace and prosperity for all? Problems can be solved with mutual concessions, understanding and good faith. Is this too much to ask? Once we shed the mistrust that exists and friendship sinks in, then the sky is the limit.

Stop apologising for Turkey's actions!

No country has a right to invade another simply because of "feelings" of mistrust!

Banana, you need to get your facts right. is it Cyprus that invaded Turkey? Is it Greece that violates Turkish airspace, Is it Cyprus or Greece that threatens its neighbors with military ation? NO!

You need to pass on your advice to your turkish masters, for when they leave us the F alone, perhaps we could all begin to live in peace and harmony.

Stop mixing Cyprus and Greece in Turkeys shit FFS.
