Cyprus Divided

A documentary by Adam Fish, described as "A 30-year military stand-off on the island of Cyprus continues to divide its people to this day. The city of Nicosia is literally split down the middle as Greek and Turkish Cypriots live on in entirely separate lives".

this is communist crap, there is only one solution a monarchy in mainland Greece, south Cyprus unifide with the Kingdom of Hellas. Northern Cyprus, Eastern Thrace, Asia Minor and Antioch must be recaptured by brutal force. The Turks must pay reparations for the illegal occupation of north Cyprus, EasternThrace, Asia Minor and Antioch and the genocide they committed in these regions.

@MrAugustus88 That's one of the funniest comments I've had.

[VOICEofTRNC]

I know, it's annoying

[nicolaszan]

See? You are stacked in fake ideas. As many of our people are. The reality in Cyprus is one! Angloamericans manipulated extremists in both sides to create tension in the island to give the opportunity to Turkey to invade. If you can't accept that, face the fact that to find a solution we both need to leave Turkey and Greece out of this, then there is no solution.

[VOICEofTRNC]

I can't argue my points without educating myself in the conspiracy theories side of the Cyprus situation like you have and I will do. What I will say for now is if America wanted Turkey to intervene so much why did they stop them from doing it so many times? Even threatening them saying that if they do intervene and Russia attacks Turkey for doing so, America would not help them.

[nicolaszan]

No mate. Its the voice of Turkey its self. I am sorry for you.

[VOICEofTRNC]

The TRNC was formed by a Turkish Cypriot, with the help of Turkey whos help we needed because of certain Greeks intentions.

[nicolaszan]

Acheson plan. It was exactly the same thing that we do have nowadays. The line is exactly the same. In that case if the two sides accepted it then we would have had a divided country coming out without blood. But still it was unfair Have a look in how both sides created extremist organizations and how that resulted to a war. Before the extremists people were living in peace.Extremists from both sides killed innocent people and created hate.

@MrAugustus88 Fuck you, Turks are heroes of heroes. Greek nationalistic guerilla forces commided genocides all over turkish territories. Turkey whas patient for 20 years. Dont expect us Turks who once conquered the world to kiss the UN ass.. The invasion whas to be expected. And if the world doesnt like it well.. Fuck the world then. Greece said that if the world attacked cyprus the world would fail.. It took turkey 3 days to fuck gaygreeks. And now they use propaganda! How pathethic !

[TheLiberalTurkey]

this is one side propaganda , you must show both side drama and crimes , first greek cypriot beginn with massacre on turkish civillians

At least 180,000 Greek Cypriot refugees were created by the invasion. They are still denied their basic human rights, including right of access to and use of their property. Greek Cypriots also wish that the 40000 Turkish troops in northern Cyprus (about 1 soldier per 3 civilians living in Turkish occupied territory) return to Turkey and many wish that the Turkish settlers, placed there by Turkey as part of its long term plan of Turkish expansionism, also return to Turkey!

[roycpc464]

As a result of the Turkish invasion, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, stated that the demographic structure of the island has been continuously modified as a result of the deliberate policies of the Turks. Despite the lack of consensus on the exact figures, all parties concerned admit that Turkish nationals have been systematically arriving in the northern part of the island. Some suggest, that over 120,000 settlers were brought into Cyprus from mainland Turkey.

[roycpc464]

This was despite Article 49 of the Geneva Convention stating that "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

[roycpc464]

In Cyprus before the invasion of 1974 by Turkey 17% were Turkish Cypriot, 83% were Greek Cypriot the war was staged by outsiders to cause conflict in Cyprus and thus giving an excuse for Turkey to invade Cyprus, almost every country has 17% but an invasion is not called for. Now who will protect Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot from Turkey and Turkish propaganda!

[riverbonk]

@MrAugustus88 - what rock have you crawled out of with such a ridiculous comment? If you feel such a plan has merit, go right ahead. This kind of nationalistic slop has mercifully largely been flushed down the toilet. Get real and live in today's World.
