"Greeks in Cyprus" ??? So you acknowledge there are Greeks in Cyprus!
Re what you posted, well, I was under the impression you were claiming that Greece had agreed to partition with the Turks. Well, if that is so you haven't provided any documentation proving it. Ok, you provided a link to a dead forum, macedoniaontheweb, and some other articles, but none which support your tin-foil hat theory of Greece agreeing to the partition of Cyprus.
Ok, let me put it this way, Boom Boom, your anti-Greek rantings (and that's what they are as you really havent put forth and articulate arguments or provided any reliable source or documentation) all they do is make the Turks glee and applaud you as they say to each other "we were right to invade". Because by demonizing Greece, actually blaming everything on Greece is really supporting Turkish propaganda. Hence, your posts do nothing for Cyprus or a just solution but instead support the Turkish occupation. That really doesn't make you much of a patriot, does it. It makes you an accomplice to the occupation, sorry to say. So keep blabbering away about zee evil Griks and paranoic conspiracy theories as much as you like, but the reality is the Turks and British (ie those who applaud your posts) support a permanent division ie TRNC...Greece does not.
"The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder foams up about their waists. And all the whores and polititians will look up and shout "Save us" and I'll look down and whisper 'No'."

There is no doubt that for twenty years the Cyprus problem has been a nuisance for NATO, because it has led to the creation of a rather difficult situation between two of its members, Greece and Turkey. For this reason, NATO did not like the presence of an independent and non-aligned Cyprus State. The United States, too, did not like the presence of the Republic of Cyprus in the Middle East where she had other interests. The political and military influence of the Soviet Union in the Middle East, which was continuously increasing, and the crisis between Arabs and Israelis increased the strategic importance of Cyprus. If the interest of the United States in the Middle Eastern oil is added, Cyprus assumes further importance.
The bloody events of 21 December 1963, which were artificially created, were aimed at the dissolution of the Cyprus Republic and the realization of double Enosis. If all the developments following those events are carefully considered, one can easily reach the conclusion that basically that was the policy of the United States.
The Acheson Plan was the result of that policy. If it had been implemented, the Republic of Cyprus would have dissolved and double Enosis would have taken place, and the island would have been under the influence of NATO and the United States. For this reason, the attempt of the United States was to secure a solution of the Cyprus problem within NATO's framework. Because of this, many times disagreements were created between the United States and the United Nations. One of these disagreements was created over the report of Galo Plaza who had been appointed by the United Nations as a mediator for the Cyprus problem.
Galo Plaza, for quite some time, studied the conditions which prevailed in Cyprus and prepared a report which he submitted in March 1965. In that report, he recommended that the independence and integrity of the Cyprus Republic should be recognized, that Enosis and partition would be put aside and that every foreign intervention should stop. He did not agree to a federal system, which was the Turkish side's aim, because it would have not been, from the political, social and economic points of view, to the advantage of the people of Cyprus as a whole. He believed that such a system would have been impracticable. The report was rejected by Turkey; the United States supported this decision, and Galo Plaza submitted his resignation.
In December 1965, the United States voted against the United Nations' resolution which provided for the independence and integrity of the Cyprus Republic. By voting against, the United States came once more into disagreement with the United Nations. Thus, it was obvious that the United States had decided to carry out the Acheson plan. This plan was rejected by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, while Greece and Turkey had accepted it.
The United States was annoyed by Archbishop Makarios' stand and decided to get rid of him. George Ball's meeting with Grivas, who consented to the enforcement of Acheson's plan, also falls within this framework. When Grivas came to Cyprus in June 1964, sent by the Government of Greece, he was going to serve this aim. A significant role in Grivas' arrival in Cyprus was played by the then Minister of Interior and Defence, Georgadjis, who was a suspect organ of the Anglo-Americans, as has been mentioned elsewhere.
The decision taken during the Ball-Grivas secret meeting was the following: The Greek Government would have declared Enosis, and in return Turkey would have got a military base in Cyprus. Castellorizo would have also been given to Turkey. In Cyprus, a general disarmament would have taken place and the Turkish Cypriots would have had complete autonomy. Another decision taken during that meeting was to attack and dissolve AKEL. This reminds one of the Second World War when, under the pretext of countering communism, a civil war was created causing more suffering and destruction for the Greek nation than those caused by the war itself.
This was the «famous» Acheson plan. The aim of this plan was to create a chaotic situation in Cyprus, resulting in the dissolution of the State and the realization of double Enosis. Some accepted it and had the audacity to accuse the Archbishop of not accepting it. Naturally, these men are none other than those who destroyed this country and created the tragic situation of today for the people of Cyprus as a whole.

Boom-Boom if I skipped a post it wasnt because I couldnt face the "truth" as per your interepration which can comes across to me like a bray of donkey especially when you end the sentence with a laughing emoticon. You seem to laugh at lot when posting. Boom-Boom are you smoking some good shit when you post. Rather, I am just trying to avoid getting caught up in circle-arguments. I provided an extract from Clinton's memiors that proves that the nation you consider so high and mighty, Turkey, blinked first. End of argument. I cant really respond to everything you post especially when its mainly blah-blah because I'll have to reply with yadidada. And with you posting blah blah and me replying with yadidada, well, we're not going to get anywhere. The simplest explanation is usually the right one. Turkey blinked first. Period. But if you really believe that Imia was a Turkish victory and that Greece whimped out, you should put your money where your mouth is and post it in this forum:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/248068/
So come on, Boom-Boom, the "truth" must be told and we evil Griks must be put in our places. Post what really happened in 1996 ie Greece whimped out, in Waff. Sure, the Turks would applaud you madly, but hey, you will also be putting us Kalamarides in our place...
Boom-Boom, you are going to do it. Because zee evil Griks in Waff under the delusion that Turkey blinked first. You can't let them get away with it. You need to do it. You need to let the Turks now they were the winners in 1996.oh you also missed the consent greece gave turkey in staying in cyprus till the cows come home...
Well, it wasnt Greece, it was Karamanlis. He always did what the Americans told him to do. But this still doesn't prove your claim of "double enosi" ie Greece and Turkey secretly planned to divide Cyprus. You see what I mean by circle arguments. I ask for you to provide evidence of a Greece conspiracy to divide Cyprus but you fail to deliver and instead throw the same things over and over again insisting this is proof when in fact it isn't. Now, Boom-Boom, one more time: please provide evidence that Greece, ie official Greek, US, Nato documents that support your claim that Greece had agreed with Turkey, that nation you consider mighty, to divide Cyprus.
As a sidenote, I wouldnt put it pass Karamanlis that he would have agreed to divide Cyprus if it meant pleasing the Americans, but the mainland Greeks would have strung him by the balls if he did. Maybe you should think about this.
Anyway, so let me know when you posted "what really happened with Imia" in Waff so I can take a look and see if you do have hairs on your balls after all and believe in what you post.
‘Humiliation’
“No troops, no boats, no flags” was the telegraphic de-escalation deal devised by Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, which 55 percent of Greeks polled at the time described as a “national humiliation”, while 18.5 percent termed it a national defeat.
But the documents show Prime Minister Kostas Simitis’ cooperation in the handling of the crisis won him abiding US support.
Under the US-brokered deal, both Greece and Turkey were forced to remove their troops and flags from the two Imia islets, which had already been proven to be Greek sovereign territory. Since then, the islets have been off limits to any Greek, even the shepherd from nearby Kalymnos who kept goats there.
As then US ambassador in Athens Thomas Niles wrote, it also fanned Greek anti-Americanism. Another, informal aspect of the deal was that the then fledgling Greek government, through Foreign Minister Theodoros Pangalos (currently George Papandreou‘s deputy premier), agreed to Ankara’s key demand that it would not exercise Greece’s right to extend its territorial waters from six to 12 miles.
Simitis drew an avalanche of criticism for telling the Greek parliament that he “thanked the Americans” for their mediating the deal (his popularity dropped from 85 percent to 37).
After the crisis, US National Security Advisor Anthony Lake sought a Greek statement that would go far in reaching an understanding with Turkey. The following year, Simitis co-signed with his Turkish counterpart the so-called Madrid Declaration recognising Turkey’s “vital interests” in the Aegean.
Simitis and Pangalos argue that the deal thwarted Turkish aims of Aegean co-sovereignty and broad negotiations over Ankara’s territorial claims, but many still believe the price was steep.

What may have thhrown their plans out was that Big mak survived, as Cyprots resisted the Coup, and with the brave assistance of ELDYK, who were not apparently a part of the coup plan, held off the Turks for just Long enough...
....and the Junta then collapsed.

The junta collapsed the 24th of July. ELDYK (the barracks) finally fell during the second round of the invasion in August, when the Turks could make masive use of tanks and many more units of infantry (and airforce, of ourse). Their total losses (of ELDYK) exceeded 220 (38 officers)

I happily acknowledge the brave contribution of all of those who fought the Turkish invaders including the 300 paratropers and I honour the memory of the dead who lost their lives both in the fight against the coupists andin the battlles against the Turks.
