i am from lapithos and we also had land there.. sorry, we have land there. it still belongs to us. and Cypriots should do anything they can to geti ti back.. we should not accept a solution that gives more rights to the turks.. Both Turkey and England have no rights on Cyprus..

@GalatasaraySK63 Turkey is number one for genocide and atrocities. The whole world knows it what about the Armenian genocide? Is that a lie to.

Κανένας γιατί σσιέπει την πού τάψη ο Θεός μου.

Η Ρωμιοσύνη εν να χαθή όντας ο κόσμος λείψη.»

@bulent94 and its stupid shit like this that gives an excuse for genocide. By the way the Greeks in Cyprus were fighting for independence against the British Occupiers what where you guys doing?? For all I know is that the Turks in Cyprus were spectators.

[SuperKevinheart]

@bulent94 That was the excuse to go into Cyprus. Turkey was given the green light. The Turks were killing their own people in Cyprus deliberately so then they could blame that the Greeks did it.

@ItaloGallese what are talking about? Cyprus was not an EU member, it wasn't even in EU terretory...(geographically speaking)

[ItaloGallese]

Europe should NEVER allow any other nation to invade one of its members.

@1944themike my friend, lets put all the reasons aside (greek reasons for the coup in cyprus, turk reasons to invade), you say you will strike hard for what turks have done in '74, not forgetting what has happened. and then how do you think turks wont strike back, not forgetting what you will have done by then ? and then you will strike back, then turks will strike back ? how far do you think this will go ? how long can you live in the past ?

where is your mind ? where is your conscious ?
