hi highlander
thank you for you kind words!!!!
so good to hear from someone that was actually there and experianced it first hand, and i know from my grandparents and parents stories that the british army tried to protect the turks, also when the british government put turkish people to police the streets with the british army they were getting abused, killed by the eoka terrorists from greece with the help from the brainwashed greek cypriots that were getting fed bull from greece
shall i tell you why the british government did not get involved and let turks get murdered because like you know serving your country it was not in the empire's best interest and also from the first world war and second, greece had a close relationship with britain, i would go as far as they were best buddies, so britain did not want to upset greece but on the other hand they did not say or do nothing when much later turkey interviened according to the treaty they had signed, this interventaion was not illegal and before turkey did go in they were pleading with britain to do something and they kept on refusing, and when turkey did go in, all they said was for turkey not to go near their soverign bases otherwise there would be trouble, so in my eyes it only suits britain to get involved in something when it benifits them like your example of the falklands
