		Until influential Greek Cypriots come to terms with the appalling behavior of their community toward the smaller Turkish Cypriot community and stop trying to persuade themselves and the world that each side was as much to blame as the other, there will be no reconciliation in Cyprus.
		The aim of the Greek Cypriots was to reduce the Turkish Cypriot people to the status of a mere minority, wholly subject to the control of the Greek Cypriots, pending ultimate destruction or expulsion of the Turkish Cypriots from the island.
		However, the Turkish Cypriots were not only outnumbered by nearly four to one; they were also surrounded in their villages by armed Greek Cypriots; they had no way of protecting their women and children, and Turkey was 40 miles away across the sea.

		The Turkish minority in Cyprus was created by Turkish settlers, who took advantage of the Ottoman occupation of Cyprus and the privileges offered to them due to their race, and by Greek Cypriots, who were forced to change their faith in order to save their lives during the Ottomans years.
		Although 97% of the Greek Cypriots, who themselves constituted the 78% of Cypriots wanted to be part of Greece, we gave up our undisputed, according to any civilized standards, right for self-determination democratically based on majority's will, to accomodate the Turkish Cypriot's concerns.

		He omitted to mention that, if would be a more auspicious solution of the problem for the Greek Cypriot refugees, whether in that hypothetical case the Turkish Cypriot refugees were to return to the 'enclaves' where they lived for eleven years in isolation and misery, deprived of even the essentials of life.

	Turkish Weekly Comment - Focus on Cyprus Stalemate and the Way Forward
		The embargo and isolation which was imposed on Turkish Cypriots from 1964 onwards and the denial of their national rights, is strikingly different from the treatment of all other national communities in Europe and particularly the Balkans in recent years.
		Opinion among the Turkish Cypriots was divided but the outcome of the referendum indicated a clear willingness to reach an agreed international settlement brokered by the United Nations and backed by the European Union.
		The way forward on Cyprus is to untie the bonds that have been placed on the Turkish Cypriots and then allow the two nationalities to work together and cooperate within the framework of their shared EU membership.

		During the military operations in 1974 the Turks captured documents, which proved that the Greeks and Greek Cypriots had prepared military plans for the extermination of the Turkish Cypriots; those were published in English in 1977 and the originals documents in Greek are available for inspection.
		How easily Greek Cypriots use this terminology to justify their misguided actions but when the roles are reversed it becomes an invasion and not out of necessity for protecting the Turkish Cypriots from the risk of being wiped out.
		So the entire Greek Cypriot population was to be mobilised to take part in genocide, the murder of Turks, their fellow citizens for over 400 years, throughout the whole island.
