    What "revolts"?




    That is just 100% bull. Honestly. Where on earth did you get that from?
    Bell, if you cannot support your point of view with reliable history sources then just shut the xxxx up. Yours is the empty talk of the "Earth is flat" style. Nothing personal. But come on, challenge your own intelligence and provide us with sth more than just your allegations. Telling it to you like one cat to another.....

    And yes guys, I am back....for better or for worse

    Anyway, You are forgetting agreements signed by greece, turkey, uk and cyprus. You cannot do everything as you like. You cannot destroy an agreement with voting.. I am not talking about pressure against Turkish minority.

    Turkey had every right for intervining. Occupying and dividing island is different issue. Greece tried to take all island and lost half of it.




    It is not forced and It is not against any agreement. No need to change facts.
    Unfortunately the turks with American armaments were killing and massacring a great deal of Greek civilians in the 1960's to take over Cyprus that belonged only to the Greeks for thousands of years. I don't know why GeekForumer, but the turks ever since they charged into both our lands from the 12th through the 15th centuries have been very lucky throughout their miserable existence. The west plays field games with them with their political games and agendas always making them the winners despite their very belligerent past and till today with their Genocide denialist regime; which means they are still continuing the Genocide as it is the last stage of Genocide.

    No. It was 80% of the people of Cyprus who wanted union with Greece. It was their self-determination right. The Greeks outnumbered the Turks 4 to 1 on every part of Cyprus.

    The Turks of the Republic of Hatay were only 40% and yet forced Enosis with Turkey in 1939 with threats and voting fraud.

    Thanks, now I've just learnt what Armenian propaganda looks like.
    If you think a documentary on the Armenian Genocide is propaganda you are an idiot...truthful events being documented are not propaganda. However denying the Armenian Genocide is propaganda because it depicts untruthful events as a result the Turkish governments institutional racism and its disregard of human rights.
