Was the consititution working?
It was unworkable right from the start.
Was the enosis dream alive?
No it was not. From 1968 onwards Makarios was publicly speaking not for the desirable but for the possible.
Was there a coup?
Yes. Under which not even one TC was hurt.
Was there a man called sampson who broadcast he would wipe out the TCs?
There was, he held power for only 6 days. He did not broadcast anything in 1974. He said that many years later. However he lost power the 6th day and Klerides took over. 2 days later Turkey Invaded. Klerides was the greatest GC Phiilo-Turk ever.(He was the one who donated you the Anan Plan). So why Turkey Invaded?
Was the TC community living in Ghettos?
Yes because this is where Ankara wanted them to be, to have them safe during the Invasion. Each ghetto was governed by at least one
General from Turkey. True or not that each and every ghetto or enclave was governed by a mainland Turkish General?
Was the island at risk of becoming yet another Greek island so close to Turkey?
No. The Enosis dream started dying from 1968. That’s why the coupists intervened in 1974, but still they failed.
The intervention was a culmination of many negatives which threatened the existence of TCs, thats why Turkey intervened.
There was no threatening of the existence of TCs, because they were already concentrated in enclaves. The Invasion was the final strike of a well pre-planned process of Taksim, and the only way to come to that was the concentration of the TCs in enclaves and their suffering. True the best
servants to have the policy of TCs concentrating in enclaves were the GC extremists. If you are unable to see who wanted you to be in enclaves you will constantly lose the whole picture.
The very same policy of having the TCs concentrated in a bigger enclave and
continue suffereing the consequences is practiced EVEN TODAY, as the Taksim dream has not yet finished. It will finish when
