"Turks" have a tendency to revert back to their Ottoman mean. This is something which must also be addressed, but only "Turks" can change their own behavior..
You continiously push the debate into the realms of tit for tat which is counter productive...why are you so concerned about Turkey and her tendancies shouldnt you be concentrating more on this island and how a solution can be found?
The solution is to give the "Turks" their own home, which they have (Turkey), so they don't have to force themselves and spillover onto "Greeks" and surrounding nations, through their Ottoman tendencies. If the "Turks" cant be Turkish in their own home, but prefer to make other nations homes Turkish, by living on top of others, then the solution is to dismantle Turkey, again!
Now, if you want to debate "Cyprus's Turkish problem" you can do that in a number of other threads that are relevant, as can I, but this one is about "the beginning of the Turkish spring", which interests me more at this time.
If the "Turks" cannot manage or control their ottoman tendencies, I support the dismantling of Turkey as a solution to many nations problems in the region.
