One of the better attempts at explaining the Cyprus problem by a foreigner.

Notice how the gc wanted enosis and fought against the colonialists. Nothing harmful was directed at the tc.
The tc sided with the colonialists though and fought against the gc.
Makarios settled for independence. If you can call it that. Cyprus was still under that ottoman yoke with the super inflated rights the colonialists sowed in to the constitution giving the ottoman minority still on the island a way to abuse the majority.
Get your facts straight.
