How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Was the Treaty of Guarantee still in effect in 1974?

There has been some fierce debate on this issue. I always thought that it was, however some on this forum disagree. I'm interested to see what others think. All the best, Panicos

The Treaty of Lausanne definately was, as was Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

... both signed and violated by the Republic of Turkey.

It is still in effect as we post. If anybody attacks RoC Turkey is obliged to help.

Does 'help' include ethnic cleansing?

If it includes ELAMs cleansing is too good for them.

Of course protecting the Grey Wolves is a must for a modern state like Turkey.

The Treaty of Guarantee is null and void. Turkey violates the treaty since 1974. The Treaty is about protecting the sovereignty of RoC and prohibits partition. Turkey does exactly the opposite. Turkey doesn't even recognize RoC so how could Turkey have a treaty with a country it does not recognize? Impossible.

Shutting the stable door once the horse has bolted are we?

Is the Treaty of Guarantee "still in effect" today, would you say "Panicos"?

What's with the speech marks? My respect for you is getting lower every time you post. In answer to your question, I don't know. I'm not an expert on international law. What would you say?
