...still a topic with long hopes; Britain makes it clear, again. that their intentions in or out of the EU remain unchanged about direct flights to what is an illegally occupied territory, in Cyprus.

As much as GC’s call the north an illegal occupation. There has been peace in Cyprus since 1974 due to the direct result of the Turkish army being stationed in Cyprus. We all know up until 1974 there was no peace in Cyprus. I feel safer with the Turkish army presence because the fact that every GC keeps their weapon at home after they complete their army service. This factor alone is an indication to TC’s that there is no future with the GC’s because their intensions are clear.

An utterly daft assumption...

A foreign occupying power overrunning and expelling a native population isn’t considered “peace”. It’s no different to saying that Nazi Germany overrunning and occupying Poland brought “peace” to Poland!

But you are 100% correct about there being no future for native Cypriots with Turks. We had that one figured out from way back in 1571.

That Nazi comparison is dishonest bullshit. It tries to erase everything that happened before 1974: violence against Turkish Cypriots, their exclusion from the Republic’s institutions, armed enclaves, the Enosis campaign, and finally the Greek junta’s coup to put Cyprus under Greek control.

You can argue endlessly about the consequences of 1974. What you cannot do is pretend Turkish Cypriots were safe, equal, and welcome in the state that was supposed to protect them. They were not. Turkey did not appear in a vacuum, and history did not begin on the day that suits your argument.

Turkish Cypriots are not “foreign Turks” on the island. They are one of Cyprus’s two constituent communities, with equal political status under the 1960 constitutional settlement. Greek Cypriots are the other constituent community, nothing more. That is the founding principle of the Republic of Cyprus, not a Turkish invention and not something Greek Cypriot nationalism gets to rewrite whenever it becomes inconvenient.

And please spare us the fake “Cypriotism” performance. You cannot claim that your version of a separate, exclusive Cypriot national identity overrides everything while singing the Greek national anthem, waving Greek flags, celebrating Enosis politics, and then calling Turkish Cypriots outsiders. That contradiction is bullshit dressed up as civic language.

Cyprus was never founded as a Greek Cypriot state in which Turkish Cypriots could remain only by permission. Any future based on that idea is dead on arrival. Political equality and effective security for both communities are the minimum. Anything else is just the old majoritarian fantasy with a new label.
