but as you see turkey is pushing for prtition there is nothing we can do militarily but do what takes longer and try politically its hard when turkey insisits on partition and is doing everything it can to make sure the island stays partitioned for turkeys benefits using the excuse of we are protecting tcs
turkey plants bombs in the tcs to make war then they suddenly "come to the rescue" when gcs dont just sit there and do nothing
No, there is a third way. Where there is a best possible agreement, now, where not everyone gets everything they want, let people live for a while and get closer and closer as times go and the fear goes. Like in the EU. Europeans did it after killing Millions during the WW2. The problem is that we can’t go there today. There are those with hidden agendas who still think that they will get rid of the TC’s and achieve Enosis. And on our side achieve Taksim. Please understand that Talat is a million miles from Taksim, He is no Denktas, its greek propaganda.
I am not a Greek hater, my grandmother could only speak Greek. I only wear that set anti-Greek clothes when I meet the new EOKA in this forum. My bests friend in London is from Famagusta. He lost his house there. I lost land in Bodamya, Trahonas and Mallura. We talk every week.
We want to go to the same place and we will get there, where Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots live together side by side like they did before 63. It does not need to be struggle any longer. Its called relationship building. We have been divorced for such a long time. Too much pain has passed on both sides. You will gain nothing from the blaming game and everything if you look forward to the future where every body can live together with no restrictions. Just not now. It is not possible. If you put this bullet in the gun, there is too many ready to fire it on both sides.
Eoka sympathisers will dress this agreement as effective taksim. I don’t agree. Its coexistence with a real possibility of proper union later. I can say that because I know the TC’s are not happy with Turkey. There is an old saying, “Denize dusen yilana sarilir”. Upto this point the GC government thought that they were very smart, one step ahead of the Turks, and all the time they are pushing the TC’s nearer to Turkey, and then blaming the TC’s. Believe me when I say to you that TC’s prefer to live with GC’s, but not while Enosis sympathisers have so much power. We will be back to 1963 in one month.
