They are unbelievable they want to go back to a time when we were not even attempting to fordge a partnership. 1960 was when we had the only opportunity to create a united Cyprus but they admantly refuse this starting point as it does not serve their purpose when trying to lay the blame on anyone and everyone but themselves.
VP, 1960 was probably the worst time to start a partnership. EOKA and TMT had been killing Cypriots, the TC police had been torturing Greek Cypriots, the British had deliberately divided the two communities and Turkey had just thrown tens of thousands of Greeks out of Istanbul. With little or no goodwill emanating from either side the ROC was doomed from the start and Turkey knew that one day Greek fascists would provoke an intervention.
I don't want partition but I see it as inevitable.
Turkey will sell you down the river, she will settle for 20% of the island in order to gain admission to the EU and legally keep troops there, you will become a Turkish province and in a few generations Turkish Cypriots will have all but disappeared from Cyprus.
But that partnership was to brought about due the difficult times we were going through and incorporates a lot of criteria aimed at combating problems faced by Cypriots. It was a chance to build a united Cyprus which just slipped us by due to hidden agendas which as created the situation we are in today.
Why does Turkey selling us out or Turkish Cypriots disappearing concern you so much isn't that for us to worry about or do you GCs feel it is a way of scaring us into running to the south and saying accept us so we can disappear into the GC population. This argument put forward by GCs is getting so repetitive it seems to be on automatic pilot and is not effective in any way. With countries becoming so multicultural this argument is so outdated and uniting with our origins is not such a bad deal, get over it we have.
No VP it is not just for TC to worry about. This is the one thing that I worry the most about, and I am a greek speaking cypriot. I do not consider mainland turks as my compatriots as I do not consider mainland greeks as my compatriots. It's with TCs that I share my folk culture, it's with TCs that my parents have been living together and cooperated in everyday life, it's with TCs that my parents and family have been fighting against the fascists of EOKA B and TMT. Finaly, its with TCs that I want to share my country neither with Turkey, nor with Greece ot the UK.
The fact that you don't give a shit about the threatened extinction of the TC culture goes to show that you are just another materialistic, selfish being that made the promotion of Turkey's interests in Cyprus as the only objective of his life. Enough said, and I do not expect any reply to what I said.
