05 Aug 16 UTC Spring, 1: I am Cypriot myself and the turks took our country so we want it back

good luck to all
05 Aug 16 UTC Spring, 1: Yes, but the Greek Cypriots were not really all that innocent with their ethnic cleaning fascist coup prior to the invasion.
05 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 1: since when were we fascist

i understand that the Turkish have made their homes in Northern Cyprus but the Turkist were the ones who invaded first and we want the country back

but to anyone who is Turkish and is living there they can stay but we don't want the Turkish forces here and occupying our old homes and stuff

anyway the British can think all they want on saying that the EOKA group were terrorists but we wanted the southern part to be with Greece because the Turks got their way on getting the northern part to be with Turkey
05 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 1: I didn't say YOU were fascist, but certainly EOKA, Sampson and the military govt of Greece were not only fascists, but complete idiots as well. They created such a bad situation for Turk Cypriots that even the British and the Americans didn't stand in the way of the Turkish invasion. And we both know that did not turn out well for Greek Cypriots.
06 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 1: i know that a lot of my cousins and uncles were killed because of it
06 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 1: It was an extremely difficult balancing act. Makarios tried to avoid war and the fascists deposed him as being too sympathetic to Turks and not aggressive enough for Enosis. This gave Turkey the reason and political cover to invade. The Greek Cypriots vastly overestimated their and the Greek mainland military ability and the Turks overran the north in days. They gambled wildly and thousands died, land and property were taken at gunpoint as a result. It was such as disaster both Sampson and the military junta on the mainland collapsed, never to return. The Turkish military is still there as a result of Turkish govt strategy, not Cypriot (Greek or Turkish) interest and many on both sides who lost family members, property and homes are understandably extremely unhappy. This makes a resolution and compromise very difficult.
08 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: anyway i know but still THEY INVADED

not settled not peacfully stayed but INVADED

it is still our land you realise
08 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: The Turks ended a civil war. There has been (brutally imposed) peace on Cyprus since 1974.
08 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: Furthermore, Cyprus has always had a large Turkish Cypriot population and the history of Greeks and Turks (i.e. 1922) is rather violent.
08 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: i know but it is not the Greeks fault you realise it is like some people go into your house and say you can live here but your religion,culture and race means nothing and you have to be Turkish

My Grandmother's house was taken from the Turkish and many of people were killed

I am not saying the Turks do not have a right to live here but they did do it the most violent way possible
09 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: No doubt about that and I feel terrible about your family's losses.
10 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: was your country taken over too
10 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: Yes, by Europeans.
10 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 2: and then by everyone else.
11 Aug 16 UTC Spring, 3: what is your country
11 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 3: USA
12 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 3: so are you the original inhabitants of the USA
12 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 3: No, my family is mostly european.
15 Aug 16 UTC Spring, 5: oh ok
16 Aug 16 UTC Autumn, 5: Why did you never submit orders to fight in this game?
