If the Greeks and Turks had considered a seperation of church and state, Makarios would have stayed in the clergy, Cyprus would have been unified, and relations between Greece and Turkey would have solidified into something that resembles the friendship between the UK and France.
Under the double enosis panacea by any chance?
Makarios was a lunatic who believed that he was something that he really was not. He believed that he was the divine appointment by GOD to lead Cyprus. In short he was not a visionary nor a leader but instead he was a well fed priest and nothing more. Makarios was an obstacle to peace in Cyrpus.
So who was the “visionary” of those days… Pappadopoulos?
