European Affair

British authorities not granting an export licence for weaponry belonging to the Republic of Cyprus is a policy of discrimination, these are defensive weapons, and a war has never been won in a defensive manner. This is very concerning to the Cypriot people in Great Britain. The fact that the United States is continuing to sell state of the art weapons to Turkey, namely smart missiles, is in particular a direct threat to Cyprus, an island which has the invasion of it's northern areas unresolved after over thirty years. An act which saw 150 thousand family forceably removed from their homes, many of which were murdered under horrific circumstances, including nearly 1600 people which were taken to Turkey to die under torture!
The United States had prior knowledge of the Turkish Plans to invade in 1974 and they encouraged the terrorist act against the Island and people of Cyprus in their warped sense of justification that it was anti communist, but in reality this was part of the deal with the United States for land aquirement in Turkey for US to protect their oil intrest and to have an army base in Turkey. This is not written history, but all indications are. What can we do against this threat? An island which flag is of no denomination, where St. Lazarus lived and died, and many Saints spent much of their lives including The Apostles Paul and Andrew. An island which is one of the dying oasis of true christianity.

These weapons are being sold to Turkey by USA.:

These posts are getting really boring. So what if Turkey buys weapons from the US, everybody has weapons.
