exagerate? how is my education less objective than yours? does it not ever cross your mind that u might have been educated with the same strategy? how was a minority with no real army supposed to try ethnically clens greeks from the island?
I wouldn't say that I am 100% objective, but I am trying. Are you?
You said: "mass graves we found with half dead women and children beneath every village"
If that is not a huge exaggeration then what is it? During the intercommunal conflict a few hundred TCs and an about
equal number of GCs got killed. The conflict was not contacted between armies but between paramilitaries. Nobody has informed you about TMT?
Then in 1974 6000 GCs got killed, and only a few 100s of TCs.
So how come there are "mass graves in every village" of TCs while the GCs, who had multiple the amount of victims do not have such mass graves in every village. Just admit you are exaggerating because there is really no point in not admitting it.
you say we have been torturing you for 32 years, but up until 74 it was us who were getting tortured by you for many years and even tho the violence has stopped the hate is still there wether its in cyprus or greece, u know we have a very long history.
We have tortured you as much as you have tortured us during the intercomunal conflict. Unfortunately you have been taught only one half of the story during that period. The violence has not stopped. Our refugees are still denied at gun point access to their own homes. A few months ago some refugee was arrested for simply cutting a flower from his own home which was illegally occupied by some foreigner. The occupation is kept illegally and forcefully by 40.000 Turkish troops.
u might just be missing some land and property but we have been robbed of our lives. dont u think we know we were better off without the intervention on the island where we lived in a recognized country with some kind of future and chance to prosper? why would we choose to live as we do right now?
If you, the 140.000 TCs, feel that you have been robed of your lives, then you have to ask the 200.000 GC refugees how they feel. The difference is that our refugees have no choice in the crime that is committed against them, while on the other hand you support this crime and illegality, and then you complain about the concequences.
u blame me for having this evil greek image but u seem to have exactly the same but opposite version in your mind, that us turks just go around taking ppls stuff, drive them off their land and then laugh about it while drinking raki lol
When I talk I talk about the official Turkish state. In Cyprus, unfortunately, thats what Turkey is doing.
the massgraves are not exagerations, i have seen hundreds of documents and pictures of them, and if you say that they have all been fabricated just to serve this big turkish agenda and im brought up to hate you for that reason, then i must be living some kind of a conspiracy
Well, lets see. Some 100s of TCs and GCs have died during the intercommunal conflict. Then some 100s of TCs and some 1000s of GCs have died in 1974. Now if those 100s of TCs have been buried in 100s of graves, then that means those graves were not mass ones. It is
logically impossible to bury some 100s of people in several 100s of
mass graves. I hoped you would question what they teach you, especially when it doesn't even make sense.
The truth about this is that a
few mass graves of both TCs and GCs exist. So lets stop with the super exaggerations.
my village was one of the only villages that was mainly turkish and who managed to fight and keep the greeks out up until the turks came
Sure, I guess they had to find a story to explain to you how you exist if they told you that there were mass graves of TCs in every village.
everyone still remembers the buses full of greeks raiding the place, not even soldiers but civilians, most of my family fought there too, surely they cant all be lying can they?
Can you please tell me the exact date of the events and the village?
i personally believe that we have both been put into this situation, as u say, by foreign forces who manipulate all of us to serve their own purpose, we have what 5 differnt armies in a tiny little island? its not the first time the english have used you against us is it? in turkish we have a saying, if 2 ppl fight over something the 3rd will take it......and so the story goes hehehe
I agree with this, except from the part that the English have used us against you. In fact it was the exact opposite. The English have used TCs as policemen to fight the GC fighters that fought against the colonialists between 55-59.
