think its better if you avoid references to Etnic cleansing: after all if you were honest it was the Greeks and the greek cypriot militia that first brought it to Cyrprus: its an historicly documented fact, all Pre 74
the fact that they were stopped from completing the cleansing by the Turkish landings, doesent alter history pre 1974 except in Greek Schoolrooms
Wrong...by the time of the second Turkish landings, EOKA B had disbanded and the Greek junta ws no longer in power. If you look at UN figures, roughly the same amount of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots died in the intercommunal violance between 1963 and 1974. The same figures also show that more Greek Cypriots died in the summer of 1974 than the total amount of Turkish Cypriots in the 10 yers before. When you see Greeks Cypriots brought ethnic cleansing is a 'historically documented fact'...which documents are these facts from? The ATCA website? lol Infact, the first EOKA B mass murders of Turkish Cypriots were in response to the Turkish mass murders of Greek Cypriots during the invasion...hense it being part of war. If you REALLY want to talk about the first ethnic cleansing in Cyprus, then look into the hostory books were the Ottoman Empire slaughtered 20,000 Greek Cypriots in Nicosia when they first conquered the island.
you were the schoolyard bully caught in the act of beating up the little kid to try to steal all the marbles. The fact that the little kids big brother arrived just in time to kick your asses and save the little kid doesent alter the fact that you started this little conflict by breaking every part of the 1960 agreement, and it doesent alter the fact that you still want all the marbles: the gamble was to take the whole Island you didnt and lost the game very badly. in fact you ended up losing more than you gained and thats what realy hurts and keeps you from making any progress at the negotiating table
We've heard this story about RoC or EOKA B being the bully and it is totally baseless. Even Denktash has stated that the main reason Turkey invaded Cyprus was for stategic military reasons before protecting Turkish Cypriots. As I also said, EOKA B mass murders of Turkish Cypriots did not begin until the Turkish invasion and response to the Turkish mass murders of Greek Cypriots. You can make up as many of these analogies as you like but until they represent the truth, they will be baseless and you will only be kidding yourself. Besides, EOKA B did no way represent the majority of Greek Cypriots at that moment in time and the TMT was just as bad. Also, the guarantot rights only gave Turkey the right to restore peace to the island, which we all can see did not happen. It did not give them the right to ethnically cleanse the north of Cyprus of Greek Cypriots, murder and rape woman and children and contiually occupy the island. If you want a more objective view of these statements, go see what the European Courts of Human Rights have to say on the issue.
in a nutshell you cant have your marbles back . and by the way they were not all yours to begin with,
Yes we can and around 90 % of the 'marbles' in the north were Greek Cypriot owned. If you wont give them back with regards to a fair settlement, well lets hope theres another war.
the only way you could take back land from the North is to sneak another 20.000 tropps on the island and try to invade the north while the TCs are sleeping. small problem is there are regular turkish troops there to stop you, you can try if you want but i wouldnt advise it
Well judging from your previous remarks, your advice is not that valuable to me. If you wont accept a fair settlement to reunify the island for all Cypriots, well lets hope there is another war on people like you.
The vast majority of the Muslim Britains living in Bradford are happy to be there. a large number are refugees from Countries that persecuted them. a lot of them are political asylum seekers that have fled from regimes like the Pre 74 one that existed in Cyprus, None of them are prevented from returning to the country of their birth if its outside the UK. They are not herded into ghettos nor are they denied basic human rights like representation in Goverment,
They are protected by one of the finest and most tolerant police forces in the world, They are free to practice their religion also protectd by statute, anyone burning down a mosque In britain would find himself in prison for i think 14 years max:
Firstly, my example of muslims in Bradford was exactly that, an example and i did not say this would happen. Although there has been speculation that some of the Islamic community in these areas would like the muslim doinated areas to be governed by Shariah law. there Turkish Cypriots were not hurded into ghettos by the Greek Cypriots...infact, many Turkish Cypriots chose to leave there homes in order to live out the segregation ideology. It is also a FACT that the Turkish Cypriot TMT militia killed people within their own community who opposed to such an ideology. RoC did not deny Turkish Cypriots there basic human rights...get it right, they wanted to change the British impose constitution which gave the Turkish Cypriot community priveleges...a privelege is not a human right. IF YOU HAVE ANY DECENCY, STOP LYING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE CYPRUS PROBELEM! Try reading a decent objective website like
www.cyprus-conflict.net...instead of that joke of a website ATCA.
They are protected by one of the finest and most tolerant police forces in the world, They are free to practice their religion also protectd by statute, anyone burning down a mosque In britain would find himself in prison for i think 14 years max:
I didnt say otherwise.
there is positive discrimination in favour of ehnic minority populations being recruited for the police force at the present time, i know this first hand because my 18 year old daughter is a police cadet
Whats this got to do with my last post?
if the british Goverment set out to deny any British Citizens ( regardless of colour or creed ) their rights like the greek Cypriot goverment did to the Turkish Cypriots then the british Goverment would fall and we would elect a new one. you forget we still have a a democraticaly elected Goverment that does not allow what happend to the Turkish Cypriots. and a people that wouldnt tolerate any goverment who did.
Read what I said above...the British government does not give a particular minority a guarnteed 30% of government jobs, even though they made up 18% of the community.
the major difference being that the British people control the British Goverment,
while the greek Cypriot Goverment is influenced by Greece,
crap! The Greek government has no influence on the Republic of Cyprus government...again another lie used to promote your ideologies.
of course the TRNC goverment is influenced by Turkey which is only right because if it wasent for turkey the Turkish Cypriots would have been ethnicly cleansed out of existance prior to 74
So Talat does not have full control over the 'TRNC'? Again, lok at the events immediatly before the invasion and you will see there was no Turkish Cypriot ethnic cleansing as you like to believe.
you forget that you are living with the handicap of a history based on lies, the rest of the world knows the truth, The more you deny the events of pre 74 the less respect you get in the world,
Are you saying the rest of the world beleives the history you are trying to portray? lol...are you serious???? Go check the ECHR to begin with.
its an an archeological fact that the oldest fossilised bones found on the island were from digs mixed with pottery shards exactly the same as those found on the Turkish Mainland 40 miles away. which happens to be the nearest coastline to the Island,
lol...is this your link to Cyprus being originall Turkish?? Get real. The archeological findings you are talking about were from a Syrian / Sumerian single settlement around the Kition area. In 1,500 BC, Mycenean Greeks where the first too settle around the rest of the island, after leaving the Greek mainland in order to flee the Greek Dorian invasions. Many Myceanan Greeks also settled on Cyprus after the Trojan war. Mycenean Greeks, who sailed eastward, also settled on the western coast of Asia Minor (modern day Turkey)..so I suppose those bones you are talking about could have been Myceanean Greeks. My I also remind you there were no such things as Turks or Seljuk Turks at that point in time, as they had not invaded Asia Minor for another 1,000+ years.
in fact if i were you i would give up while you are loosing.
lol...learn how to spell 'losing' first and then go get some quality research or education instead of buying into your Turkish propaganda.
