The Dividing Line - Cyprus

September 2002
Barbed wire and armed troops split the world's last divided capital, Nikosia. Quality archive pictures show how 30 years of war have led to deep mistrust on each side. Turks to the North want a loose federation and closer alliance with Turkey, while the rich Greeks to the South want to split the country into two zones. If the island is to join the EU in 2004, its two halves will have to put the past behind them, and work together.

to garrettk01:

the island is not for Greeks or Turkish, but for Cypriots. G.Cypriots and T.Cypriots can live together in peace only if the guarantors powers give us the chance to live alone. . .

If ottoman had not give freedom to all christians, you wouldnt be writing message to me, So just tell me why greek cypriots killed turkish cypriots between 1963-1973?? it was a genocide to remove moslim in the island what did the same in Crete island. Turkey can defende itself and FUCK the nations which can harm it. So we FUCKED..

Now its time to solution coz Turkish and greek people live togheder, we live the some region, Turks want peace and greek refuses..

Why rome and greeks conquer the syria? Ottoman wanted to extend islam to europe, what the rome and greeks did in syria, But there is one difference ottomans and christians, Ottoman conquered and did not touch anybody, and gave the freedom for religion, But christians conquered and killed all people that place, (for examples; the Umayyad genocide in spain, spains bured all moslims and even libraries, France liked over 3 millions moslim in Algeria). so dont say you re not welcome

@eelginolv lol the downfall of a country such as greece fulled 13+ nations within europe so that makes us clever than them and now we using them to forfull our needs and when Greece defaults no one will get their money back lol. Turkey is doing very well but dont miss the fast that they will be in big shit as well when Europe goes bust since it is us that is supporting their economy by trade!
