The most common trick to deflect attention from shameful reality is to concentrate on imaginary crimes. It's what the Turks do not to face the hard facts.

Let's put the questions you ask so : "What was Taksim ?" "What were the Grey Wolves doing in Cyprus and who trained them and sent them there ?" "Where did the Cypriote Turks get their arms and instructions from ?" "Why speak of would-be Greek Ensosis without seeing the real Turkish Enosis , annexing Cyprus by Turkey ?"

Northen Cyprus is to all intents and purposes just another Turkish province while South Cyprus remains a separate state with no 40 000 men strong Greek army of occupation , not being the most heavily militerized zone in the world ; with no 80 000 settlers from Epirus and Acarnania , with no puppet government appointed from Athens , with no huge subsidies that keep the newly conquered province going .

"Turkey had to intervene to save the Turkish Cypriots from ethnic cleansing."

That's a very unimaginative and deficient pretext if one bears in mind that the Greeks were not expelling by broad daylight 180 000 Turks in the summer of 1974 while the Turks did expel 180 000 Greeks by broad daylight . The Greeks didn't engage in mass rapes as the invading Turks did which forced the Greeks to pass an extraordinary law allowing abortions of babies conceived as a result of brutal Turkish rapes.

You have to have a very grim sense of humour to shout out here the standard Turkish lie of "countergenocide" ! In fact it was the Turkish army that perpetrated the most heinous crimes and carried out a TOTAL ethnic cleansing ! You can twist and turm imaginary plans , find would-have been genocides , establish putative massacres , uncover nebulous conspiracies and still you will never be able to obliterate and fool us about the fundamental facts before us. It is you Turks that UNDER THE EYES OF THE ENTIRE WORLD were killing, burning people alive with naplm, destroying cities and villages , raping and looting in your traditional way . Let's not leave the realm of reality ! So stop making an idiot of us by telling us all these crimes have been justifed with humanitarian concerns of the Turks !

Then why was not legal for Greece to internvene to save 180 000 people expelled and threatened with extermination at the hand of the Turkish hordes ? Only because the Americans had fooled the Greeks to remove their division from Cyprus in 1967 and blackmailed and terrorized Greece into passivity and to be sure of the Turkish success sent the 6th US Fleet to secure the safe passage of the Turkish navy from Turkey to the beaches of Northern Cyprus ? The Turks did invade not to save anybody, but because the American plans foresaw the Turkish capture of a large part of Cyprus while they didn't foresee any Greek defence . It was a big political game to feed the hungry Turkish wolf with Greek blood and so keep Turkey satisfied with its role of a US outpost against the USSR .

> Greeks initiated an ethnic cleansing campaign against the Turks in the island and massacred civilians, including babies and elderly.<

Interesting that to save a few imaginary victims the idea of inquiring into what happened and who did it had never occurred to the Turks while the idea of killing and expelling EVERY non-Turk seemed so obvious and irresistible to them . It's their pet Islamic idea , isn't it ? You blame your potential victim for being criminal , beat and rob him and then speak saving mankind or at least the Turkish race from extinction ! By the way, the Turk never blames himself for anything . It's always the kafir that is guilty . We have learnt that lesson ... very well , haven't we?

> Even now Greek Cypriots Army recruits train by chanting 'Only good Turk is a dead Turk!' How very peaceful, eh?!<

And with what slogans and real geanocides has your Turkish army been trained ? What does every Turkish larn at school ? Just take a look at any comment on critical issues by Turks on YouTube to see how much savage hatred , aggressivity and barbarity the Turks are spewing there . At least there you won't find the lies like yours. Being anonymous the Turks don't deny their crimes and invent humanitarian lies 0. Quite the contrary ! They are proud of ALL genocides their ancestors have perpetrated and they only regret too few have been committed by them ! They themselves keep dreaming of perpetrating more ! Well, what Kemal and Ecevit have begun his admirers and followers of today and of tomorrow will no doubt try to finish .
