This report is of great historical significance because of the people who talked in. I liked most of the Greek Cypriots who talked to the camera, they came across cool and calm.
The narrator has a negative tone on his voice in relation with the Greek Cypriot demands. Give me a break man, there is nothing extreme in the demand of a European people to live free and united with their nation. Especially after they fought on the side of the British during WWII. Britain should have made its decisions to let us unite with Greece and keep its bases, like it has them now. We should have never had to fight against each other. Greece is one of the few countries in the world with which Britain had never had a war against. We were always on the same side and we will be on the same side in the next years when we will be cleaning Europe from the Muzzies who are taking over Britain and Greece at the moment.
Also why the fuck the British had problems with the unification of Cypurs with Greece? It's like denying Birmingham unite wtih England. Holly shit before i see this series could not realize how much imperialistic and infoerior complex English is.
And all this for couple of bases in akrotiri.
The greek president betray cyprus the english help the turkish barbarians to attack cyprus and thats it.many women were raped and in front of the familys
why is a so called religious leader involved in Politics……. he should be for peace, but obviously not
Turkish Peace Offensive brought justice and rule of law to island. Stupid Enosis idea and EOKA caused all the problems experienced in the last 60 years. Under the British rule Cyprus would become like Canada. It was a peaceful country undere British rule. But pathetic Enosis supporters brought chaos.
There's a measure of justice here. The Englishers who lorded it over everyone else in their own country are now being lorded over by Mooz-lims in their own country. It remains to be seen if they'll have the balls to fix that shit.
The strategy of "Divide and Rule" was employed by most imperial powers. The British and French backed various Indian states in conflicts between each other, both as a means of undermining each other's influence and consolidating their authority.
Further, the British used the strategy to destroy the harmony between various religions and use it for their benefits.
Religion again who needs it.?
This documentary is so funny! Firstly EOKA was indeed a terrorist organisation made by that dog Makarios, but their only intention was to genocide the Turkish cypriots. The Turkish cypriots trusted the British army to help while being brutally killed by the Greeks but the British army failed to do anything about it, all they did was watch! Turkey and the turkish army were the ONLY ones who saved cypriot Turks and destroyed EOKA once and for all. Now Turkish cypriots are living peacefully in the north part and we want nothing to do with the useless british or the murdering Greeks! Finished!
Poor Cyprus, I was born there, my Nan died there, we have roots there, IT is not Cyprus anymore, It is only for the Rich Russians and other foreigners.
So let me get this right… the British take over the island, Greeks want independence and union with Greece and start bombing everyone, turkey comes to bring peace to the island and stop the fighting and give Turks protection and rights yet they are in the wrong lol WTF
Watch…..1974 Cyprus Conflict Ambiguous Differences on youtube…..Its for ……ALL…..Cypriots to stop and think.
What kind of fake relgious motherfucker makarios who thrives on the enosis killing women and children! Dont give me anykind of anti turkish bullshit,because i was there!
Another example where the population dug its down grave by attacking colonialists. Now they're run by ISIS-loving mullahs.
