Ignorant comments

  • J G Hobart, noone lies - there is always fault on both sides but the fact remains if you look at your history books that although Cyprus has always had a history of invasion it is nevertheless GREEK! By your arguments it could be considered British as the British like the Turks also occupied Cyprus for a number of years.. or even Venetian as the Venetians occupied Cyprus for centuries... just for the record Turkey, Greece and England all signed the Zurich agreement guaranteeing the independence of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960 - they then chose to dishonour it when it suited them. I'm sure the Greeks did many terrible things to the Turks during the invasion (there are always crimes on both sides in war) but the fact remains that the Turks are illegal invaders and this fact is recognised by every country in the world except Turkey. Successive Turkish governments are well known for invading land that is not rightfully theirs and for a whole host of war crimes. I am a quarter Cypriot myself and it makes me sick that various family members lost everything they had in the invasion, and the homes they worked so hard to build are probably being lived in by people who do not rightfully own them.. profiting from other people's misery and loss - what respect I have for you all!
