Look I get it. I understand that you believe GC had and have a right to demand the end of foreign rule in their own homeland and that TC did not and do not. I understand you believe that GC have such rights and TC do not. Just as I understand that it is this very belief that is at the root of the Cyprus problem historically and today.
YOU are the foreign rule. YOU came to our island to oppress US. You can't argue against FACTS. When we were fighting against the British for the freedom of Cyprus, you, instead of accepting that Cyprus can finally be free, decided that the rule of either the whole Cyprus or at least half of it should pass to the previous foreign rulers... the Turks!! And don't tell me that you would have preferred Independence because you DID NOT. At no point in history the Turks wanted an independent Cyprus... for 3 centuries when they ruled Cyprus they had all the power to give Cyprus its independence and they didn't. And during British rule the Turks never talked about independence... it was a GC proposal and the Turks did all they could to have this independence crippled. And you know why? Because enosis or a true independence is the exact same for the Turks because in both cases who rules Cyprus are the native Greek people and as we said already native rule is a foreign rule for the foreign Turks.
You are both foreign fools pointing at each other and in the process making total dorks of yourselves!
Had either of you been Cypriot you wouldn’t have accepted anything less!
A Cypriot nationalist cannot and will not tolerate anything less, anymore than a Turkish nationalist accepts anything less than Turkish, or a Greek nationalist accepts anything less than Greek!
Do you understand this simple premise, you jelly-brained mosquito?
