Firstly I can say that it is not politcally correct to state that the Cypriot race includes only greek Cypriots as is commonly said. There exists also the Turkish community in Cyprus who can be considered to have the same sovereign and equal rights as the Greek Cypriot themselves. The greek cypriots( over the last two centuries) have always tried to only recognise the Turkish community in Cyprus as a minority ( the same as the Maronite and Armenian minorities on the island) but in fact it is a fully sovereign community with its own language and culture.
The Greeks blame the Turks for all their miseries in Cyprus but really that is also a lie of some misguided whore greeks. If not of the Greek stupidity in Cyprus then the island would be united now with two equal and sovereign communities as immediately after the Cyprus independence in 1960.
Open your eyes to the events of the 1963-1964 when the massive attacks by Greek forces on mostly innocent Turkish Cypriot villagers were made who had no choice but to flee or live in tight enclaves (ghettos). These actions by the Greeks came immediately after the Greeks set out to ruin the 1960 independence constitution of the island and unite themselves with Greece(Enosis).As the Greek Cypriot side usurped the title of the ‘Government of Cyprus’, since 1963 there has not been a joint central administration in the island, capable of representing the whole of Cyprus either legally or factually.
The Greek Terrorist organisation EOKA B carried out plans to totally destroy the independent Republic of Cyprus and get rid of the Turkish community on the island. The turksish community in Cyprus having a much smaller population then the Greeks coudn't properly defend themselves and during these events Turkey(who had the power to protect its Nationals on the island) warned of invasion to stop the Greek threats against the Turks.
In 1967 the Greeks attempted to carry out their sinister Akritas plan which aimed to murder the whole of the Turkish community in Cyprus;fortunately, their evil plans failed (as Turkey led aerial stikes over the island to protect their Nationals). In 1974 there was a Greek Junta coup in Cyprus which removed Makarios from being president of the island and prompted the Turkish peaceful operation of July and August 1974 to protect the Turkish Cypriot community on the island. This even created thousands of refugees ( both Greek and Turkish Cypriots in Cyprus). Morever the problem still remains today with the island partioned. The Greeks chose this and now openly state that the Turks have been the prime cause behind this problem.
the Greeks have cleary shown their objections to peace on the island by their overwhelmingly 'NO' answer in the referendum in 2004 on accepting the United Nations peace plan in Cyprus. Morever the Greek Cypriot leader Tassos Papadopoulos still tells lies about the Turks in Cyprus.In an interview published in the United Arab Emirates-based English language daily ‘The Khaleej Times’ on 4 September 2004, Papadopoulos claimed that not a single Turkish Cypriot was killed between 1963 and 1974. This claim is so stupid that it was even denied by many Greek Cypriots themselves!
In other words if the Greeks want peace in Cyprus they must totally guarantee the Turks on the island to be an equal and sovereign people and accept future United Nation proposals for the island!
