You are messing up 2 things. We were discussing with Peace whether the Treaty of guarantee automatically gave anyone the right to intervene militarily or not.That is a totally different issue as to whether there were
predictable reasons to intervene militarily or not. I stress the word predictable, and you will see why later. You yourself said
could (possibly) murder
To the vast majority of the TCs and you personally there were predictable reasons. I can understand your position. Advocating the devil though I tell you those reasons never materialised. No TC was hurt during the coup (all murders at villages e.g Tohni happened after and during the Invasion in retaliation of the murders at Kyrenia by the Turks). You insist it was obvious that this would occur anyway.I say how do you know? *
I also tell you that the situation was much worse in 1963 and in 1967 against the TCs with real and occuring evidence against their lives, however no invasion took place.And i also tell you the constitutional Order was destroyed years before, by both sides, so what constitutional Order are we talking about on the first place?
Furthermore I say is that the purpose of the coup was to take Makarios out of the way.Makarios for the local coupists was a burden to Enosis.But for the mainland Greek Junta he was an obstacle to a settlement in Cyprus.Settlement for them
did not mean Enosis! . It meant expansion of the Terittory of Greece
via double Enosis or partition. See the offer George Papadopoulos the Junta leader made to Turkey in 1967.
What the Political status after the coup would be nobody knows. Even a unilateral Enosis declaration would be internationally illegal and invalid unless there was an agreement (with Turkey and UK) validating it. It would furthermore be meaningless.Enosis means annexation, so the whole governing system of Greece should come here.It could not happen from one day to another,and it was simply impossible to happen without an internationally valid agreement. (See what happened to the occupied areas). In my opinion the only way out after the coup would either be an agreement for partition, or final restoration of the 1960 constitution. The former been the most propable.
PS * In politics the most predictable catastrophies usually don't occur. Just because they are so predictable that everyone knows how to avoid them. Usually what occurs are unpredictable catastrophies. For example was it predictable to you that Ertogan would freeze the Penal code of Turkey and literally throw his EU ticket in the dustbin?
