There has been gigabytes of stuff said on this topic so i would just like to make some statment of fact :
1. It is Turkies national defence policy that has required Cyprus to be under Turkish rule
2. Turkey was the ones who invaded cyprus (more on this below)
3. It is Turkey that has violated human rights and ignored numerous UN resolutions (with no consequences i might add)
4. It is Turkey that has ethnically cleansed GC
5. It is Turkey that is illegally selling/developing GC properties in the North.
6. It was Turkey that decided to open up the borders when it suited THEM
7. It was Turkey that has stationed 40,000 or so troops (illegally) in the island
8. It was Turkey that has violated international law by displacing main land turkish people to the occupied territories
9. It was UK and USA that enabled Turkey to get to where she is in Cyprus, cos they want to be here.
10 It is Turkey that is here and won't go
11. It is Turkey that is preventing GC going home to their properties, because she make alot of money selling stolen goods to the Brits and others (and they bloody well know it)
12. It is Tony Blairs wife (of all people) who is defending the Orams (why the hell is she ? I don't care if she is a barrister and has a job to to, she is still the British PMs wife and has higher obligations) Of course since the UK wants this to happen then they just let it.
13. Cyprus will never be independent (because the USA and the UK won't let it be so)
14. There have been bad egg GC that have caused alot of this problem to happen (I say hang them)
15. The military junta in greece at the time was driven by none other than the USA CIA (Fact - I understand that many would not beleive this) The reason this whole enosis crap started in the first place was a smoke screen to pave the way for Turkey to enter cyprus in the first place.
16. Only the UK wants Turkey in the EU (why the gut busting Tony to get them in?) Its ok i can guess
17. Only Turkey has been allowed to violate the UN resolutions without consequence, because the USA say so. If it were iraq or yugoslavia they would have been bombed to bits by now.
There are loads more but i have had enough, i think you get the picture.
As for item (2) above. OK so Turkey feels the need to intervene, accepted, but bloody nora, 32 years later and they still feel this need ? Come on, pull the other one it has bells on it !
They could have come in sorted it and left.
I understand there is bad blood on both sides, but please, please dont ask me to bend over, take it up the bournville route and then be thankful. Or worst still make out the TC are the victims here. It is Turkey that is here, it is Turkey posing the military threat with her troops, it is Turkey stopping any resolution taking place until the GC hand over the Island. I know, we have the Anan plan, yes, i know of it it was written by the british, for the Turkish, under the auspices of the Americans. Do you honestly think that it was suited to the GC ? Hardly, even Kofi himself has admitted it was a load of crap and that the GC could not possible agree to it.
Again the GC were made to look the bad guys again, courtesy of UK, now the TC are having aniversaries over their YES vote. Of course they will, the GC were being asked to sell their souls for them why wouldn't they vote Yes.
I have gone on for too long here so i end it with these words :
Turkish troops out of cyprus
Illegal settlers out of Cyprus
Illegal Foriegn investors forfeit their stolen properties (legal TC transaction excepted)
British troops out of Cyprus
Let the cypriots sort them selves out (peacefully) Yes, peacefully, this is the 21st century there is no mass murdering going on here for gods sake.
I pray one day to visit my familys home without the need to seek permission from no one.
