I have no problem with turkish cypriots as long as they are practising muslims they are good people...

all the turks i have met that are practising muslims ... are very well behaved very well mannered people... and only speak kind words.... which i was surprised to see.

the turks that are not pracising muslims... are just idiots.. literally idiots..

no offense to the relgious ones.. u guys are great!!!!...

actually despite the offensive comments most turks or tcs that i met were in general not religious. and quite interesting i would say.

in general i can find more in common with a turk student than with a german one. :)

Bottom line is the Greek "Cypriots" became greedy they could live will with their fellow Turkish Cypriots. They decided Enosis was the best thing even though that would result in the deaths of Turkish Cypriots.

Hey look a Greek Cypriot priest with a Gun and he's not camera shy :shock:
I wander what hes doing with a gun...

This one has to be the best one. Read the caption. Then look at the picture. It appears that the Archbishop Makarios is blessing a hand grenade. What could a hand grenade be used for...

But the short answer to your question Erik Dayi is that I dont know WHY Greek people are racist. They just are :( .

Yes, UKTurk, even priests joined the revolution against the colonialists. (not against Turkish Cypriots)

But just like it was the case in the US revolution with the Patriots and the Loyalists, many TCs (and not only) sided with the colonialists and they fought against the war for liberation.

I will tell you why you are racist: Because you support the ethnic cleansing that was performed against 200.000 people and you insist, at the very moment we talk, that those people should not have their human rights back simply because they belong to a certain race.

Now tell me why I, and all the other people that support human rights and democracy, are racists. Or the only thing you know is to make empty accusations?

You are so sad. Are you trying to claim that EOKA was actually to fight against colonial rule?

"Members of the Greek Cypriot National Guard were mercilessly murdering all the civilian men, women and children of the Turkish Cypriot villages and towns." (Reported by Kurt Lariken, Correspondence of the Die Welt newspaper, 22 August, 1974.)

"... I promptly telegraphed the President advising him of my proposal... 'The Greek Cypriots,' I wrote, 'do not want a peacekeeping force; they just want to be left alone to kill Turkish Cypriots." (The Past Has Another Pattern" (Memories, Norton and Co. 1982 pp.341-347), George Ball describes his meeting with Archbishop Makarios)

Nicos Sampson, one of the leaders of the EOKA terrorist organization who took over the post of Makarios, commented: "Had Turkey not intervened, I would not only have proclaimed Enosis but I would have annihilated the Turks in Cyprus as well." (Interview in Paris, Eleftherotipia, February 26, 1981.

Dont use your fake history on me. Did they teach you that in the Orthodox church?

BTW You trying to denial the factual reality that the Greek Cypriots were trying to kill off the Turkish Cypriots not only shows that you are ignorant, barbaric and blind. It is actually racist.

Come on UK Turk. There's no point in getting involved in telling one half of a long, complicated story like that.

Fact is, your good ol' mother land was quite prepared to, quite brutally, relieve the Cypriots of the entire country and subjugate a nation that consisted and still consists of 82% Greek and 18% your fellas...

Which is a little odd, when you do the math. Surely taking control of 20 or so % would have left you with more credibility and legitimacy. But as it is, you got just under a half. And there are no more excuses in keeping hold of it, cos Enosis died as a political concept years ago, and now the bubbles are in the EU, they cant hopeto re-entertain the stupid idea again.

So be a good little boy Mr Erdogan, and do the right thing, and give the bloody land back to a re-united Cyprus with a fair proportion of power to each ethnic peoples.

Or

keep it and be seen as the intransigent, sabre rattling, human rights violators the world knows mainland Turks to be.

Maybe if you would get your dates correct then any argument you might make would have some credibility....but your dates are jumbled and your talking shit.

"Members of the Greek Cypriot National Guard were mercilessly murdering all the civilian men, women and children of the Turkish Cypriot villages and towns." (Reported by Kurt Lariken, Correspondence of the Die Welt newspaper, 22 August, 1974.)


This quote is from 1974, after the invasion. while this may have been true, Greek Cypriots also did there best to protect civilian TC....and besides, these acts were in retaliation of the Greek Cypriots civilans murdered by the Turkish army. Remember, there have been a hell of a lot more Greek Cypriots dead at the hand of Turks and Turkish Cypriots between 1963 and the end of the invasion in 1974.



No point telling you this because your a knuckle head that wears one of those tacky looking moon and star medalions.

"... I promptly telegraphed the President advising him of my proposal... 'The Greek Cypriots,' I wrote, 'do not want a peacekeeping force; they just want to be left alone to kill Turkish Cypriots." (The Past Has Another Pattern" (Memories, Norton and Co. 1982 pp.341-347), George Ball describes his meeting with Archbishop Makarios)


Yeah right, we're supposed to believe the views of a member of the British Empire as the truth. They are the ones who Makarios wanted to rid the island of in the first place. It was there job to create a divison of the island...thats how the British Empire worked...by divide and rule.

Nicos Sampson, one of the leaders of the EOKA terrorist organization who took over the post of Makarios, commented: "Had Turkey not intervened, I would not only have proclaimed Enosis but I would have annihilated the Turks in Cyprus as well." (Interview in Paris, Eleftherotipia, February 26, 1981.


You wont find many Greek Cypriots with fond views of Nikos Sampson...but you WILL find many Turk Cypriots with fond views on people like Ataturk who DID anhilate millions of Armenians and hundreds of thousands of Greeks. If you wnat to stick to Cyprus...then I know you will find many Turk Cyps with fond views of Faizal Kucuk who was trying from the 1950's to divide the island...as well as Denktash, who openly admitted to bombing Turkish Cypriot buildings to blame it on Greek Cypriots and create more trouble.

Dont use your fake history on me. Did they teach you that in the Orthodox church?

BTW You trying to denial the factual reality that the Greek Cypriots were trying to kill off the Turks not only shows that you are ignorant, barbaric and blind. It is actually racist.


Turks were trying to kill of Greek Cypriots but you wont admit to this....infact, you wont admit to thinks like the Armenian genocide and describe us as Greek CYPRIOTS but you as just TURKS...does this mean you dont have much affection for Cyprus at all??

Of course it was formed to fight against the colonial rule!

Here is some info from a British website: http://www.britains-smallwars.com/cyprus/war.html

The EOKA' campaign opened on 1st April 1955 with the bombing of a series of targets throughout the island. The second series of attacks began on 19th June, with attacks on police station is Kyrenia. More attacks followed there was rioting in Nicosia on 2nd August. In September 1955, sixteen EOKA terrorists escaped from Kyrenia Castle and this shattered public confidence in the Islands administration, the burning of the British institute in Metazas Square in Nicosia on 17th September persuaded the British Government of the seriousness of the situation. On 25th September, Field Marshal Sir John Harding was appointed Governor of Cyprus, he arrived on the island on 3rd October, closely followed by an influx of troops.


The only mention of the TCs there is the following:
The Turkish community was whipped into a frenzy by broadcasts from Turkey calling for the partition of Cyprus. Violence between the turks and Cypriots broke out in early June and climaxed when eight Greeks were massacred in a cornfield near the Turkish village of Geunyeli.


The above website was the first result in Google when typing "EOKA cause". Unlike you, I do not maintain a folder with propaganda material.

BTW You trying to denial the factual reality that the Greek Cypriots were trying to kill off the Turks not only shows that you are ignorant, barbaric and blind. It is actually racist.

During the intercommunal conflict about the same number of TCs and GCs died. This is a fact. Saying facts makes me ignorant, barbaric, blind and racist?

Sorry my friend, but who you describe there is yourself, not me.
