What did tassos papdobullos mean when he said if turkish ships are seen 12 miles out at sea, by the time they land there will be no turkish cypriots left to save.
you really have to stop all this propaganda and blame everything on turkey. in 1973 there was an agreement between clerides and dengtash.
1. all 13 points of the constitution asked for by makarios
2. power of the turkish cypriots reduced to 20%
3. unified local authorities.
both turkey and dengtash as well as clerides agreed with the agreement. the only person that did not agree with it was makarios.
why.
In 1958 (during British rule), when the TCs started the conflict, murdering innocent Cypriots, burring down shops and homes of civilians and threading to annihilate us from half of our island, there was 10,000 strong Greek army in Cyprus? I don't think so.
The point here is that the TCs
wanted to displace themselves and ethnically cleanse us in order to achieve their dream of partition where the two communities would be completely segregated. On the contrary the GCs never wanted to leave from their towns and villages, but they were
forced to do so. I hope you understand the vast difference between moving from one place to another because you want to (so you can be given twice as much land than what you left behind), and being displaced by force at gun point when a foreign army takes your home.
The ethnic cleansing and partition was and remains the aim of Turkey and TCs. Everything beyond that are just the lame excuses the Turks use to justify this crime. So whom else should I blame for the ethnic cleansing and the partition apart from those who planned and executed this crime and even until today they continue to support partition?
Regarding the 13 points, what I know, which is well document, is that the TCs and Turkey rejected the 13 points in 1963. Now you are telling me that they accepted them a decade later? Any official documents to prove this?
