"Cyprus itself is Greek!" - British view.

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

"Cyprus itself is Greek!" - British view.

Postby GreekIslandGirl » Thu May 17, 2012 1:42 pm

"Cyprus itself is Greek and the northern bit is Turkish occupied" - as I heard the BBC chap (Jeremy Vine) utter today, once he got his mind straight after hearing the worries of a Brit about to head to Cyprus and concerned it will revert to Drachmas (duh :) ).

From the British perspective, as exemplified by the UK Ministry of Defence Deputy Secretary, Frank Motorshead, in his briefing for the Defence and Overseas Policy Committee back in April, 1964:

- In order to solve the Cyprus problem; he suggested Britain and the UN could give "financial and other assistance for the resettling" of Turkish Cypriots (to Turkey or elsewhere).

- Britain considered a Cyprus ceded to Greece, or as a unitary state controlled by the majority GCs, as the ONLY viable solution to the Cyprus problem.

And yes, we do want a viable solution!

What a load of bollocks. Cyprus is Turkish and has been since 1571. GC's should be grateful we are allowing them 63% of the island.

We didn't need any Brit to tell us what our island is ;) Cyprus is Greek and only the ignorant and those foreigners who have something to gain from Cyprus could think otherwise.

Well, if that was Mr Mtorshead's view back in 1964, then he should have focused in resettling the loyalist Irish (who decent from settlers) somewhere in the UK, and passed on Northern Ireland back to the Republic of Ireland... Cyprus is not the only nation in the world who's population consist in different ethnic backgrounds. Ultimately, no non cypriot out there with two fingers of general knowledge perceives Cyprus as Greek or Turkish. It is seen as a sovereign nation with its own identity. Its citizens (the legal one's) regardless the background are widely understood to be Cypriots. In my view, the only viable solution would be to get rid of the 1974 invaders and their settlers, so that the citizens could then democratically decide the nations path, not as Greeks,turks,Armenians or Maronites, But as equal CYPRIOTS.

So why do you call London English when so many ethnic minorities which are not English live there?

So please let us all know exactly when in history that Cyprus came under Greek rule ?

It never has been Greek and the inhabitants of the South of the island are mainly of Arab extraction from the countries that surround Cyprus.

Arabs with shoes !!

Who would want to be associated with that lying lazy race of scumbags anyway ?
