Truth will out!

[Description of Turkish occupied area of Cyprus by Mehmet Ali Talat, Turkish Cypriot leader of Republican Turkish Party, 26 March 1997]

“Turkish Cypriots… would like to coexist with their Greek Cypriot compatriots instead of being under Turkish military rule”.

[Turkish Cypriot in German newspaper 'Die Welt']

“We live in a dictatorship, run by the Turkish military and their cohort, Denktash… You can live a normal life here if you keep quiet, if you don’t tell the truth that we live under Turkish occupation, that much of our territory is a military zone where we can’t go … I want a unified Cyprus that can join the European Union, not for economic reasons, but to have a democracy, to have European laws with respect for human rights. We don’t want to live under Turkish law.”

Sener Levent, Turkish Cypriot, editor/publisher of Afrika ]

In 1821, Cypriot Turks joined the Greek Revolution against Turkey. Could this be repeated?

Bravo Kurds, Bravo for fighting the foreign Turk!

Military: Canadian experts in Time magazine said that the Cypriot Greeks performed far better than the Turks,militarily, but they were outmanned and outgunned.

Democracy: I have read most experts agree that the Greek government functions far superior than the Turkish government.

the western world is guilty of more genocide than anyone and it is the western world whos laws you spout.

if Greeks had not been so busy stabbing each other in the back during the mediaeval period they may have formed a nation earlier and would have more land today… tough luck mate.

you may see yourselves as the people who invented democracy but you didnt develop the idea so stop living in the past and deal with what you have today.

Turkey must immediately apologize to Armenians for the “tragic events of the past,” said Volkan Vural Turkey’s former ambassador to Russia during the late 1980s, reported the Taraf Turkish newspaper.
“Although it is difficult to imagine that Turkey would recognize the Genocide, nevertheless, it must apologize to the Armenians and other ethnic minorities–Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds–for displacing them and massacres, and allow them to return to the land of their ancestors and become Turkish citizens,” said Vural.
“The return of assets and financial restitution are difficult issues to tackle. However, it would be possible to make a symbolic offer of financial restitution,” explained Vural, saying that making an apology is an “imperative for a country like Turkey.”[in na, “Assyrian International News Agency” website, 9-14-08].

Thx!

how do you substantiate who retains the original genes of the original people of a region seeing as the genetics of most people of the Eastern Med are pretty much identical?
Do we base it on language? If i learn to speak ancient Egyptian can i claim Egypt?
Which tribes were the first to own this part of the world? Are there people with Hittite or Phonecian genes still around? Probably! How far back should we go? as far as suits you eh! get real dude.

The fact is that when people start wars and lose them there is normally a penalty. The Greeks and Greek Cypriots who started the war in Cyprus thought they could exterminate the Muslims and gain total control of Cyprus. They gambled and lost. get used to it.

Oh and dont spout international law to me, as the people who make these laws dont even adhere to them when it suits them.
