Yeah, I don't understand these TCs at all.

Personally, I think the Greek Army should offer to protect the TCs. Does that sound like a crazy idea ? Can we find precedents in Turkish history ? Sure can!

The Turks actually wanted a protectorate over Armenia but were prepared to leave the Dashnaks in control of the districts around Erevan and lake Sevan. As their only other option was to turn to the Bolsheviks, whom they believed would leave them nothing, many Armenian leaders were prepared to accept the Turkish offer.

This "offer" comes a few years after the murder of in excess of 50% of all Ottoman Armenians.

Truth is stranger than fiction, indeed!

I would love to see VP's reaction to this suggestion, :lol: being so afraid to remove his "life-jacket" of 40,000 Turkish troops.

A I you are to idealistic.

you say that turkey has made us a minority in our own country.wrong again we are the majority in our country TRNC where we are safe with the peace keeping force.
you had us locked in enclaves,that is worse than a minority it is an open prison.

tc tried to forgive and forget by voting 75/25.gc spurned the opportunity to forgive and forget by voting 25/75

you are in a massive minority of concilliatory gc.its up to your lot to show some action before i consider you worthy of trust.

when i holiday in cyprus and talk to the locals at least 1in 10 want to be friends with gc and live with them.can you say the same about the people in the south and if so why did they disgust the eu and go 25/75

and in london why dont we discuss the problem.because we know we dont agree and dont want to lose friends
