hi guys
i thought i would start a new thread on a new forum concerning the actual events that lead up to the turkish intervention, some of you might have read this on the cyprus44 forum, i thought i would post this on here for people who have not read it on their
ok here goes

These are official views of both governments on the events of july and august 74 you will see how the greek side jumped from independence in 1960 to the events of July 20 skipping the history of enforced turkish cypriot enclaves (1964-74) and the coup against Makarios.

also the greek cypriots claim that the cyprus problem was caused by the landing of turkish troops in 1974 and if they would withdraw, the problem would been solved. This is a totally wrong the problem began in the 50's & 60's and the landing of turkish troops was the consequence not the cause of the problem
even greek cypriot people wanted turkey help In her memoirs greek cypriot MP rina katselli, said on the 16th July 74 Is Makarios alive Is he dead, The Makarios supporters arrested, the EOKA-B supporters freed i did not shed a tear, why should i? Did the stupidity and fanaticism deserve a tear? There are some who beg Turkey to intervene. They prefer the intervention of Turkey." 18th July 74 my God! everyone is frozen with fear the old man who asked for the body of his son was shot on the spot the tortures and executions at the central prison everyone is frozen with horror nothing is sacred to these people, and they call themselves Greeks! we must not keep that name any longer
