You should learn a bit of history. It was about a month. It was an agreement between the Greek Junta, the CIA and Turkey for Double Enosis. Cyprus had no idea. The Turks just violated the agreement and took more. The Americans were furious because the Turks were too slow, and did not stick to the agreement.
Lets get back to the real world. Which country brought down a Russian Jet ever?
Thinking it was Syrian, and probably as a revenge for the shooting down of a Turkish jet by the Syrians a few years back. Certainly with no intention to start a war with Russia.
Don't get me wrong, I hate the Turks and nothing would give me more pleause that them fucking off out of Cyprus but lets call a spade a spade.
That's OK but Turkey is not what you think. Paranoid yes, arrogant yes, bully to the weak yes, brave not.
Do you mean Turkey is brave or an average Turkish soldierm because the soldiers are known for their bravery in the world.
I rember back in 1975 a GC friend of mine saying looking at what those soldier did climing the bendadahdilo mountain when they were being fired upon from the top, was not bravery at all, the soldiers were drugged and thats why they could do it. That was the offcial propaganda of Groc then
Be that as it may, Turkey may be all those you say but they are looking after their interests just like the Ynaks who are looking after their from 5000 miles away.
Get used to it, Turkey is a regional power and has a say whether you like it or not and if you exclude her from the resources, it may seem like she is everything you say but it is not.
One needs to look in the mirror before judging others.
It was OK back in 1964 with GC outnumbering TCs 4 to 1 armed to the teeth with including tanks to attack. That was none of what you called Turkey right?
Sure and pigs will fly very soon.
