The TC contributed massively to why people emigrated from the island to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Foreign powers?? Don't you you mean our home grown fucking idiots.?
How can you support Ukraines war to join NATO but not Cyprus's war for enosis or independence?
There is a key difference between Ukraine and Cyprus.
Ukraine has shown some backbone and fortitude defending their country. The world can only admire Ukrainians for their backbone and fortitude.
Cyprus biggest mistake was stopping the war or the fight against the Turkish Military. Very bad move.
In addition, this isn't Ukraine's War to join NATO. It is Ukraine's Defence against a foreign invader. This is Russia's War not Ukraine's War.
yes, you are right, there is a key difference.
Ukraine has been fighting for about 2 months.
Cyprus fought colonialism, a civil war and a brutal invasion over the span of about 20 years.
Cyprus, a population of less than a million was fighting against a population of about 70 million with some help from Greece.
Ukraine, a population of 45 million is fighting against a population of about 145 million with the full support and help from Europe and the west.
The west has military embargoes on Cyprus, even though she is being illegally occupied. Nearly half the world is sanctioning Russia for their invasion of Ukraine. No one is sanctioning Turkey for the illegal occupation of Cyprus. Who was going to provide the man power, weapons and ammunition for Cyprus to keep fighting against Turkey?
Go do some more figuring re Paphitis..
