There was a brilliant news report in 1974 where an 18 year old Turkish conscript was asking the BBC news reporter "Which way did they go?" he'd lost sight of the 1,000 GCs he was chasing.

You mean to tell me that an 18 year old conscript from the depths of the Anatolian Step could speak English?

Having visited Turkey several times I can assure you that most (especialy the young) have a reasonable command of the Englis language.

That would have been a miracle seeing as there is no way a Turkish conscript would talk English, and BBC reporters don't learn barbaric languages like Turkish.

How many times have you been to Turkey, I'm surprised that the money grabbing GCs don't go there regularly and take advantage of the interest rates in their time deposit bank accounts, I made 15% after tax on £35,000 GBP in 12 months.

Did you see the other one where a few Greek Cypriot school boys were wondering where the 40.000 British troops they were chasing had gone?

35.000 GBP? For just writing posts in the CF?? Must say. May even think about it myself. Well done my boy! Well done!!

All they had to do was ask their eoka braves. In fact they did not even need to ask. All they had to do is look to see which way they were running and then they would know.

You speaking to a few waiters in some cheap Turkish resort in 2012 is not comparable to the reality of the backwardness of the Turkish thugs sent to cause maximum carnage in Cyprus in 1974.

Why don't you admit you are a lying troll who is here just to cause misery to fellow (?) Europeans as they remember their many dead and missing.

Did I say that I visited TurKey in 2012? just shows what an illiterate plonker you are. I've visted Turkey several times over the years.

All this Bullshit about defeating is codswallop, the fact is proven by how welcome the service familys were made in Cyprus until the Turks invaded unapposed in 74. where were the EOKA then?

Its quite simple Kimono just go onto 'time deposit' banking in Turkey, the rates aren't as good at the moment but still better than other places, try Garanti Bank and HSBC Turkey and then come back and tell us what you found.

So you must have been a regular visitor to Turkey, since well before 1974, to draw up such a conclusion about the linguistic abilities of Anatolians. I sensed some hurt pride and a defense strongly suggestive of something personal here. I do believe you could be a Turk. Either way; we'll never get an honest post out of you.
