Viewpoint the same can be argued about the other side...Aren't you safe guarding the spoils of war via the use of force to this very day?
You are right about people on our side, we to have hardliners. But arent you forgetting the current situation (the spoils of war as you put it) is not just the product of what TCs did back in history. The fact that we have not found a solution is again not only the TCs fault the GCs have a lot to answer for as well.
So you use force to safe guard your spoils via the use of force and you expect people to to accept it?...and thats ok with you?...but not the other way around?
Although I hate war and never feel its a way to solve anything it Im 101% certain if GCs had the power to blow us into oblivion they would not hesitate for one second in using it. Is is this force that you refer to that has brought the island 32 years of peaceful existence, is this good or bad. What would the alternative have been? second class citizenship under GC rule or even non existence of TCs in Cyprus like the Turks in Crete.
So my friend either a solution is found that will satisfy these people, because the way I see it they ain't going to forget, or one sunny day there will be a rebellion...
If the GCs have that option sometime in the future I have always stated to Kifeas do you worst but dont expect us to sit back and surrender we to will fight back with everything we have but if it doesnt go your way dont come crying to us but we didnt mean you any harm and it was someone elses fault, you forced us to bomb and kill you like you do today.
Kifeas is correct what he is saying to you...being a realist in my opinion...Safeguarding spoils of war via force, it can only mean one day you relinguish them via the use of force...simple as that...
Kifeas is a war monger who could execute anyone with an opinion that differs from his, he himself declared he is preparing himself for war by going to the gym and taking shooting lessons so that he can kill TCs. He is only driven by the fact that he has lost millions of Cyprus pounds it has nothing to do with life which to me and many other people is far more important than any piece of land.
Personnaly I would rather see a solution based on human rights and shove the minority rights where the sun don't shine...
human rights and democracy we are all for but who will administer them is the important question, that is where the balance has to be struck.
Oh and I do not condone the use of force in any way, shape or form, but you must be realistic about it...
If war is the only way GCs feel they can force a solution then we will fight back as hard as we can and dont expect anyone to stop and count fatalities as Piratis mentality always argues you killed more so you are more guilty.
Cypriots want peace?...start being reasonable about it...
Tcs are the most peace loving people you can ever hope to find yet GCs have not developed any mechanism where they can gain TCs trust and understanding, they are like bulls in china shop becuase they sit back and feel we are recognized so TCs will someday tow the line. Well let me tell you something for free they will have a bloody long wait.
