B25 and ZoC TAKE NOTICE! I do not even bother read your posts anymore for two reasons because both of you are ranting fanatic racists who clearly hate anything Turkish, and secondly I feel you lack the educational levels, intellect and life experience that will allow us to hold a decent argument. Your kind - I have learned to ignore long time ago. There is no cure for the likes of you. So please feel free to carry on with your gibberish - my backside is listening very intently as it would do to any other ranting idiot
Maximus! Do you really think the position of Pakistanis in UK and the TCs in Cyprus are the same
When was the whole of Cyprus ever recognised as a GREEK island? What makes Greeks the masters and the Turks immigrants like Pakistanis in UK? The GCs themselves were settlers on the island as members of a sea faring nation, but the island was already occupied by many other civilisations prior to and during all that. The Ottomans ruled the island for over 300 years, and Greece for a longer period I believe! The Greeks were not the first or the last to settle on this island. In fact ancient history claims that settlers from Anatolia (Today's Turkey) had arrived on the island thousands of years before. So if it is the sheer population proportion that makes you claim Cyprus as a Greek island, then it is only a matter of another few decades before the Turkish population catches up - thanks to the current political situation and the influx of Turkish settlers. Unofficial number of Turks in TRNC at this time indicate around 350-400,000 Turks and that is leaving out the 30-40,000 odd soldiers. Will the island be a Turkish one if we outnumber you in another 4 decades?
How comical that some idiots in this forum can even quote from Wikipedia that the Annan plan was illegal and non-starter - correct me but ANNAN PLAN was a plan put forward by a UN secretary was it not! Who is being hypocritical? You must learn to live with the fact that the Greeks lost a war against a mighty enemy they poked hard, thanks to their faith in Greek mainland's military (in)capabilities. When you lose a war there is a price to pay and it does not change because the winners were Turks. Read into wars in world history and study the losses of the losers. When Ottomans technically lost the 1st World War, the British took over the whole island of Cyprus as their colony. Western Turkey was occupied by Greece, and many Turkish inhabited islands close to Turkish mainland were handed out to Greeks by the allies. Turkish occupied Trakya was given to Greece, similar faiths awaited Bosnian and Bulgarian Turks, and worse for Tatars who were driven from their land by the Russians - all that without a shot being fired! By those standards I think the GCs got off very lightly after the 1974 war...
What is your source for the Kurdish population in Turkey? Are you able to quote a census - if so please do! The hypocrisy reaches its peak when you liken the TCs in Cyprus to Pakistanis, but claim the Kurds who only numbered a few million until 50 years ago but increased in number due to influx from Syria and Iraq each time they were attacked by the military of those regimes.
As long as there is no third world war to distract Turkey, there will never be any Kurdistan inside Turkish borders ever! The soldiers die but 5-6 times more terrorists die week or month. Turkey can produce 5 million soldiers, how many terrorists can Kurds produce? Turks die and their families cheer that their sons have become martyrs! They get wounded and ask to be sent back to the front! Only the ignorant will believe the Kurds wil ever win this so called terrorist "war" against Turks. But of course the Greek mentality is "your enemy is my ally - even if they are terrorists" - and you expect any mercy or constructive developments with Turkey
Just carry on begging Turkey to open up its airspace and ports for Cyprus shipping and see where it will get you. Meanwhile Cyprus Airways is disintegrating and your shipping companies are losing a fortune in trade! This time next year North Cyprus will probably have enough water coming from Turkey to turn the land into water logged rice fields of Vietnam if one so wishes to say. So you imprison the TCs, look down at them as Pakistani immigrants, do everything to prevent them from having an independent economy and expect favours from Turkey who in fact is more than happy with the de-facto situation. Just answer me this please:
What harm has all the GC hullabaloos carried out in EU or UN has ever done to Turkish Economy or military strength over the past 4 decades? NONE WHATSOEVER! On the contrary it has helped them improve greatly. So who are you really fighting my fellow GC neighbours? What are your expectations?
