sampson your hero took power and was in control of the national guard and backed up by the junta and their officers who are still in control of the national guard to this day.
first of all let us assume terkey did come to save the terkish cipriods but stayed put. now what was going to happen next. who was going to remove him. let me answer it for you the only people who had any weapons were police which supported makarios and they had more chance to walk to the planet uranus then remove sampson.
now the question is what would sampson next move be. was it to call dengtash for tea and buscuit party to discuss the future negotiations.
before you get above yourselves you dont have to imagine what would happen to the tcs under sampson have a look at what they did to murataga snadallilar atlilar and dohni. do you want some links to these events.
and to those who think tcs living in the south are happy about the treatment they get in the roc, perhaps you can befriend a few on the internet to get the gist of why they moved south and why they refuse to leave. it really is very easy.
hello, as is so popularly said, the coup failed because it did not have the Popular support of Cypriots, or as is so popularly said, Greeks. i too was happy to here that a Guarantor was mobilising, and at first it looked as though Justice would be seen, the rest cannot be described as a "Peace Operation".
history is what it is Lordo, and let's just assume that the coupist represented a popular front with the support of the vast majority of this island, you assume that this population would support wholesale slaughter of farmers, women, and children; bags of titties dear friend, sad as it is, you don't have to make them up.
...and if you love Cyprus as much as yourself, i suggest you rise above the indignation of some "Turks"(or "Greeks") to represent yourself with a wider body of People, such as Turks who respect the value of Humanity. i suggest you quit demonising Greeks.
