You said in the past turkey asked for a return to the constitution and the gcs refused...I asked you for proof and none came...and here we are...
Well it confirmed that turkey was after ground and nothing more...
Amazing how you pick and chose what you want to believe as being the whole truth

Just because there is no mention here does not make it so...This is a Greek site don't forget....

EVEN IF they didn't.....The situation was such that the constitution was negated by Makarios long before so the claims should have been accepted but instead counter claims were made so what does that tell you. What were the Greeks after.

Are we suppose now not believe what you posted?
Fuck man make up your own mind...You present a document and I asked the question...When did "turkey" asked for the return of the constitution...So far you are confirming to me she didn't...
You even thanked T_C for saying something about cantons...was that a return to the original constitution?
Boomers...I am trying to accomodate you in every way that I can...Seeing how you just want to believe the propaganda crap that you have been taught and are so resistant to the truth then I will give you examples of what might have happened so you can take he truth in small doses.........You can say thank you when ever you are ready

Let me get this right Zan...how on earth is aking you a question be considered propaganda
You post an article, I ask a question out of
your article, then you blame me for asking a question?...strooth...
How about for once answer the question that has been asked from you several times...
when did "turkey" asked for a return to the constitution
come on spit it out man...its a straight forward question...either you know or you don't...can't get simpler than that...
PS...asking a question Zan is not considered propaganda...but not answering a question out of
your article is...get it right man...
I told you several times Boomers...What the hell are you on.....When the first cease fire came...Is that the answer you want....Oh! you want proof.....

Tell me what source you will accept my proof from so I can be sure that you will not turn me away.........Makarios did not want the Zurich agreement returned to in it's entirety, even after what had happened so the negotiations started straight away as to what is acceptable and that has been going on since then...What more [roof do you want than history it self
I will tell you what is propaganda though and that is repeating that Turkey ethnically cleansed you from your homes and not acknowledging the other factors that brought them in....Except for keep harping on about wanting the land that they already had

Are you dreaming or what...What source?...you never quoted any source...The last time you said you were gonna dig it out and you never did...all we have is your word, and I am afraid, no offence, ain't good enough...
Just one source...will do...
what we have so far is an extract from the article
you posted which contradicts what you're saying now...here it is again...your source, your post...
The first phase of the Turkish invasion lasted from 20 to 30 July. The Greeks, dazed and disorganised by the coup, nevertheless managed to confine the Turkish forces to a fairly small space, and when the cease-fire came, had some cause for pride.

Are you calling Ethnic cleansing propaganda now?...They were the guarantor power...they had no right to ethnic cleansing...
Mate you are not on the sauce by any chance?
