That's not very Turkish in the sense of hospitality is it  |
Does this Turkish "hospitality" extend to Greek Cypriots too?  |

| The RoC cannot win a war against Turkey alone, for a very simple reason: It has no airforce. Only a joint attack with Greece could be victorious |

There are 256.000 voting TRNC citizens full stop, they are all our people. |
Talk for yourself viewpoint....there might be 256.000 voting but they are NOT all my people...(and i've been a TC all my life................not recently) |
Are the Russians and the Chinese in the South "your people" iceman? |
I dont recall saying they were shah... |
So lets take another country for example the US, how can you say that if you are not the descendant from some of the early colonialists nor a Native American then you are not an American but just and immigrant?
The same goes for the British, if you are not white you are not British, nevermind the millions of Indians, those millions of Turks living in Germany are not German? Who the hell are the Australians then?
Don't you find this logic a bit perverse? |
Shah, is it right to say that the latter day immigrants to the USA have sworn an oath of allegiance to the goverment of the USA? Thus they have become Americans.  |

The assumption made by almost every single poster in this thread is based on a single scenario: the RoC National Guard attacking the Turkish forces on Cyprus. A remote probability.
However, there is one more probable scenario: where there is strife between TCs and mainlanders in the north and the National Guard must protect TCs fleeing to the south, in other words the fight is brought to the south and not the other way around. What would those who are set against military power propose in such a situation? |

I think I know where Nikitas is going ....
The RoC would have to fight Turkey to protect the TCs from annihilation. Act like a "guarantor" and ethnically cleanse a part of the "TRNC" to give to the TCs as their own "mini-state" .... more suitable in size for this diminishing minority that is too frail to survive independently ... and needs its protective enclosures from an encroaching world; like a species in the last days before extinction ... until there is only one surviving breeding pair held in caged captivity, like the main attraction at a zoo. |
