...who is "you guys"? whatever the Junta was, it did not represent the population of Cyprus. notably, that same population did not come out in defence of the coup, and within days, because of the lack of support it fell. of course, if you recognise this fact, it is not so easy to identify Turkey's actions as a legal right to intervene as though all Greek Cypriots are "Greek", similarly demeaning all Turkish Cypriots as though they are all "Turk". Turkey did not act as a Guarantor therefore, but as an Illegal invader, the cost in lives, whatever it was, did not have to do with Cyprus at all, because to Turkey, Cyprus is Property, and its Proxy War with "Greeks" does not recognise that it is Cypriots that have been victimised and now, left homeless.
...yes imagine Lordo, what if the "Turks" had kept their word, so that the island would be split between them, and had they succeeded, the "Greeks", (and the Brits). imagine Turkey standing up as an International player, exposing "the deals" done darkly to get to this point, for Human Kind, and becoming truly great People, Cypriots can Love and admire. both, could have happened, they didn't. and frankly, no credit is given to Cypriots, because they through all of this represent the Hopes of the Human Spirit, yet struggling to survive, against a cruel Ignorance.
...dude i don't get you, here we are in a topic where the usual slinging has become an issue of both "sides" are torturing barbarians. you somehow think that by choosing "one" side you can fight the other. surely, if you say, I love Cyprus, you can see that it is not so clear cut. however, whether Cypriots live in a regime where their daily lives' is subject to the will of the Turkish Army, or they are led by a Leadership that is willing to defend themselves as "Greeks" while the Cyprus Republic remains Constitutionally dysfunctional, new thinking is needed. and i imagine you are more able in this regard, because a bag of titties is wrong, even though some mothers would be smiling with glee, so too the other horrendous stories we can exploit for hatred in their memory. i fight for the Freedom of Cyprus, i want Liberty for Cypriots too, i cannot see how you can choose to glorify "one" side to defy, the "other", when it is this that is the wrong, the intention of the interlocutors who deny that Cypriots exist as Cypriots, whether their vast majority is Greek, or not.
