In a Democratic world those who support criminal actions are also criminals. However in some cases like the invasion and occupation of Cyprus a large number of Cypriots who have a Turkish origin were persuaded that this is actually done for their own good.
Can you actually save someone by imprisoning him for 30 years in an illegal isolated society? Do you as a Cypriot of Turkish origin believe that the continuing occupation of Cyprus by Turkey has done your life any better and given you any more prospects?
