@@tombuddy100It makes sense. If union failed once, will fail again under the same conditions. Cyprus problem costs Turkiye way more than benefit from it, but they cannot be blind while Turks are dying there, especially if they are one of the guarantors to prevent it. Enosis was the root cause of the problem and there is no solution unless Greek side decide to get rid of those flawed thoughts about they’re the only owners of the island. For a real solution, Cypriot Greeks and Turks must find common ground by dividing the land with both agreed way to create federal states and live happily in their zone without trying to spread outside and without enosis/taksim ideas.

Turkey has the same agenda for Cyprus as any modern invader. Let years pass and people settle until it becomes a humanitarian problem to relocate the settlers. Insidious as expected from turkey

Answer these questions to solve the Cyprus problem: 1. Do we need the Greek and Turkish armies on the island to protect the citizens of Cyprus or should we abolish them? 2. Can Greek and Turkish Cypriots form one mixed Cyprus army and police? 3. The population in 1974 was 78.9% Greek-Cypriots and 18.4% Turkish Cypriots Which is better for both sides? Let the majority of people make decisions or make it 50-50 between Greek and Turkish Cypriots? 4. What will happen with the real estate of Greek and Turkish Cypriots which has been used by other people after 1974?

[@azmhyr]

@sotiriskirtsides7966 One, these people were never in any point in time, Muslim. Two, these people were not Turks. They are Greeks by blood and language, but were simply kicked out from their church by other Greeks for cooperating with the Ottomans. They wanted to reconvert to orthodoxy during the British era but were denied by the Orthodox priests. This made them very bitter and angry towards the Greeks. During that time, Turkey was secularizing and the main identity in Turkey shifted from just Muslim to Turkish. So these crypto Christians began to adopt Turkishness to add to their distinctiveness from the Greeks, despite still not being able to communicate in Turkish. The British helped them by bringing teachers from Turkey. They also forced Turkey's hand by making them a "guarantor" despite the fact that the then isolationist Turkey declaring there was no "Cyprus issue" from their point of view. Enosis was of course a natural aspiration of the Greeks in Cyprus. The linobambaki were against it. So their newfound "Turkish" identity gave them the necessary ground to call upon Turkey for help. But today, simply go and ask any TC if they identify as a Muslim or a Turk. They will simply say they're "Cypriot". Not Turk or Muslim. In fact they eat more pork than the Greeks and maintain that the Greeks are their only brothers. Turks are simply filthy and ugly barbarians to them.
