The core of tue British strategy ever since it's birth was to keep Europe divided, I guess it carried it's strategy everywhere it went.

@İnsan Liberals demand acceptance of their ideals. I'd rather be divided on an issue, but honest on both sides.

@Alleyup1994USA Anglosphere? Is that the "sphere" which turned most of the world into its colonies, including China, India, North America and Australia? The one that used human beings as slaves and committed the worst genocides ever known in the history of the world?

@Alleyup1994USA Brits are better than anyone else in terms of science, architecture and medicine? This statement is wrong on so many levels. You might need a bit more life experience, education and wisdom before you can contribute to this topic.

@Alleyup1994USA Yes but Britain did decide to segregate schools, councils etc along community lines based on religion or language (both can be blurred) reinforced the differences and led so 'turkish' and 'greek' national identities when it was never that clear, many just feel Cypriot fore-mostly and I suspect that would have been always most dominant identity among most groups if the British attitude wasn't to try and fit people neatly into boxes. Of course that's not the only reason. What what how to you categorise a Turkish speaker who is mostly Christian orthodox? Or a 'Turkish' muslim who's primary language is Cypriot Greek, these were quite common at one time. I'm half English half Greek-Cypriot so I'm not likely heavily biased either way. Britain did great things in Cyprus in terms of infrastructure, reforestation etc, but we did have the Victorian attitude still of 'This is a Christian, so European, so Greek' and I don't believe it was divide and conquer is any conscious way, but that mentality must have played into it, as an subconscious driver. That was just a product of the time. We can't be chronocentric and judge for instance the British empire morally...But understanding Britain's role in community divisions can help unite Cypriots. Division and neat boxes of people were encouraged.

Russell Richards Greece and Israel has good relations And well if Turkey wants Aegean Albania wants south Epirus And FYROM wants to persuade the world that they are the real Macedonians because they don’t have history while they are slavs and can’t even read the dialect Macedonians spoke while Greeks can because it’s ancient greek and only Greeks use the Greek alphabet How can we have good relations with them?

@Russell Richards Russell Richards Even if Greeks are anti-semitic, what makes allies are mutual interests. Conflicting interests make enemies, mutual interests make allies. Your arguments about Greece being closer to the middle east than Europe are absolute bullshit and you know it. As for the Macedonians not being Greek I have a question for you. Who ordered for the Rosetta stone to be constracted? and what languages where writen on it? It's one thing to call your country Macedonia because of your geographical location, but it's a whole lot of shit to claim to be the desendant of Alexander the Great.

@Russell Richards We know how cleansing has worked (and still works) pretty well in civilized Western Europe, with Slavic dialects in Germany, Germanic dialects in Slavic speaking countries, Basque in France, Gaelic in England, Catalan in Spain and so on... We also know how many Greeks have been left in Albania, Bulgaria and Turkey and the reasons behind their disappearance. It is good when others do it and we can be silent, it is bad when Greeks do it and we must stand up and shout. Great logic. By the way, when it comes to history, learning about the peculiarities of each area and reading the original sources from all sides (e.g. regarding the population in Macedonia; the Arvanitai) and not modern propaganda websites is always a good idea.

@Russell Richards Culturaly absolutly no. Greeks by their christian customs and traditions alone are closer to europe. As a matter of fact it is more fair to say that Europe is closer to Greece and not the other way around. Ethncly i agree, as Greeks and Middle eastern people have been intermarring for millenials. Historicly? Before the Islamic Conquest? Sure! Syrians and Egyptians identified themselves as Greeks (Romans), they spoke Greek and they were subjects of the Roman emperors. But after the Islamic conquest absolutly No. Geographicaly? Well, geography is not something to debate about. It's there and it's static. The greek mainland is entirly with in Europe. You could argue that some of the island could be considered Asia and personally id agree. But considering that the separation of Europe and Asia is a man made idea your argument dosnt hold much ground. Also if you are gonna be calling Greece middle eastern then you better start calling Hungary central Asian as all the argument you made (Geography being the exception) apply to Hungary also.

@Russell Richards Also EUROPE is a Greek word, it comes from a greek myth and the even the above mention separation of Europe and Asia is a greek idea.

@@realcypriot2192 if you are real cypriot where is your culture

Ali Erdenay Peace can be achieved in both ways. Via One-State solution or via Two-state solution with North belonging to Turkey (if not recognized!). Asking Turkey to pay for your expenses, enabling your connections to the world, investing in your country in every field, giving you water supply etc. while continuing your arrogant stances towards Turkey, will only lead to the decision makers in Ankara to decide that you are not worth all the efforts at all. Yavru vatan deyip hoşgördük bunca zaman şu çirkef tavırlarınızı. Haa ben avrupalılık adına da olsa Rum götü yalarım Türkler'den daha iyilerdir diyorsan inceldiği yerden kopar arkadaş. Yaşın genç belki bilmezsin ama elinin altında youtube aç bak 1974 önce olan bitenleri. Sizin gibilere döktüğümüz kana yazık.

Esek Ali Erdenay kopek- As a Turkish cypriot I find religion and language to be fundamental cultural pillars. The elections are consistently won by the right wing. So everything you say is incorrect. If Turkiye wants it; will annex and you have no choice and you are of no importance in the big picture. Some Turkish cypriots like you are as dumb as greek cypriots would like to think. They humour you but have no respect for you. Idiot. Soysuz kopek. Copcu sen den daha akili.

BadMagick I can’t agree with you more. Seeing Greek Cypriots like you make me feel like there still is hope for us. Hope for unification. By the way, most of the people who support annexation to Turkey are not Cypriot they’re Anatolian Turks. Please keep that in mind. I don’t get why people got mad at my comment i’ve just stated a fact.

Ail kopek-You have stated left wing soysuz kopek and/or ignoramus rambing-no facts. There is no such thing as Cypriot-ethnically or culturally. My family are 100% Turkish cypriot and all that means is that we are Turks from cyprus. In fact the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. If you had a little inkling of a brain you would realize that the greek side will not accept Turkish Guarantees rights and Turkey will never give it up since if it lost this it would effectively be surrounded by the EU. It will never happen. My family, and the majority of Turkish cypriots, are eternally grateful to Turkey for saving them. But I have an educated family that explains history. Not the sheep like okuz parents or the traitor like left wing that produce extremely stupid offspring like you. The only reason, in the last referendum, most Turkish cypriots said yes to the annan plan was the preservation of the TRNC, political equality and Turkish guarantees. Turkey gave its blessing. But 99% would never give up these principles. I have lived in London most of my life and never met one sincere greek cypriot. They play on socialist left wing traitors or just idiots like you (either one). The traitor left wingers and I have a few in my family are very loud and vocal. But when it comes to gatherings there is hardly anyone there and right wing or pro-TRNC state parties always win the majority. This speaks volumes but then its clear to me. Once again, the natural inclinations of both sides means that there will never be an agreement. Even an agreement is not complete unification but two states with equal rights. Together with Turkish Guarantees, this will never be accepted by the south. Once again, for the dense, I am a Turkish Cypriot, my family in fact originated from the pseudo-greek side before the exchange. If you want to improve from cattle level, in future emphasize that you are displaying an opinion and not a fact when at a 'discussion' stage. When writing a scientific paper this is what you do; even with data you can only interpret and 'indicate'. Only idiots speak like you, I'm very sorry to observe and say.

Bad Magick-The question is if you are not a Greek nationalist why are you so desperate for a unification? If you are just a cypriot from a national prespective an island with 2 cypriot states should be inconsequential to you. You can travel to all parts. Save this kind of child like deception for the minority idiots like Ali and I'm sure it was intended for his like. But for the likes of me it really is 'Bad Magick' ;)

Not really, my father lived in northern cyprus, the people there really dont want to be with cyprus(south)

Turkish Cypriots of course want a federal and independent republic but in fact Turkey is against it

Only causes disputes in the population. Cyprus is not a nation. Turkish and greek cypriots only have the "cypriots" in common but have a different culture, language and religion. I think its ridiculous to say "cyprus belongs to the cypriots, not the greek or turkish". It like saying "North America belongs to the north Americans, not the Mexicans, Canadians or US Americans". The best solution is to give each nation its own part of the island to prevent any conflicts (which has worked well since 1974).

​@@chrisklitou7573 for my opinion, in 1950-60s, Brits have no right to stop Greek union with Greece, the same ways Crete. but Turkish do want the fate of Turkish in Cyprus will become same as Turk in Crete which become 0%. Crete Turk are 20% of Population, same of Cyprus about 20%, Bulgaria, South part, Turk makeup majority but later most Turk migrate to east Thrace, in Greece only West Thrace still have Turk majority. British is to blame. Cyprus is not like Malta, Maltese is not Italian but Semitic, a siculo-arabs who become Christian, and later Arabic language influences by Italian, and drop Arabic script, used Latin script. Cyprus is majority Greek, and people of Cyprus have right to choose "Union with Greece or Independent". Genocide of Armenia and Assyrian happen because Turk dont want Armenia and Assyria become new country the same Greece, if Turk make fast move in 1700s wipeout Greeks like they do to Assyrian(Semitic close related to Arab and Jews) Greece never exist.

Four things should happen 1. Turkish troops to leave (and any other foreign troops) 2. Everyone return to their ancestral homeland 3. Cease discrimination based on whether you are Greek Cypriot or Turkish Cypriot, establish one citizen identity, with everyone having the same rights 4. Establish a state of safety for every Cypriot, with any extremist chauvinistic act being neutralized immediately.

@@Stellarionas Why 2 tho ?

@ Returning to our ancestral homeland is essential, both for the restoring of justice for all, as everyone will be returned their properties, and also the cessation of demographic change that Turkey wants to establish. Turkish Cypriots were scattered in all over the place (meaning the island), they were never concentrated in a specific land section. 78% of the today occupied part of Cyprus is property of Greek Cypriots. It's time to leave behind all these and return to the original state of the island, with Turkey's army leaving Cyprus for good.

@@Stellarionas Oh, ok, I thought you meant that people should go back to Turkey and Greece or something

@ No, but of course Turkish settlers that were brought to Cyprus illegally by Turkey, they need to leave, except maybe those who had families with the Turkish Cypriots.

That is a fundamentally different status. Have read please, if you would like to: peacemaker.un.org/sites/peacemaker.un.org/files/CY%20GR%20TR_600816_Treaty%20of%20Guarantee.pdf

@@mikem8211 Well, those statistics are from the early 70s the latest. =( Either side of the green line underwent drastic demographic changes due to legal, illegal, legitimate and illegitimate policies of all sides concerned. =( As far as the split is concerned, currently TR / Turkish Cypriots coıntrol 37% of the island and as per teh Annan Plan that percentage was going to be reduced to 29% - not half by any means. Anyway, we all hope for a sustainable solution... stil.. don't we?

@streetbroom yes of course tbh with you we would love to unite with the Turkish Cypriots but there are more mainland Turks in Cyprus then Turkish Cypriots so who are we uniting with? The best soloution is give 10% back to the Republic and pay the Refugees (Turkey will have to pay) but with that said Turkey won't offer a financial package to the Refugees & The Republic will never ever concede Northern Cyprus they are obsessed with reunification and won't even entertain the idea of a two state soloution while that is what Turkey wants. It will stay like this until we die so no point even thinking about it 👍

@@mikem8211 I agree with you. The thing is we are talking about 3rd generaiton migrants for instance who came from Turkey and who only have "TRNC" citizenship - i.e., stateless. Then yes 2 thirds of the northern side of the green line is overwhelmingly Turkish yet interestingly no one wants to be united with Turkey either - why would they given the current state of affairs in Turkey? As per the guarantee agreement on which the persence of Turkish military is based, the eventual aim has to be the reunification. The money Turkey gave to Northern Cyprus is recorded as "loan" by the way - very smart in the case that account books are opened during the negotiations. It's bloody mixed up and sad. I agree, we may not see it in our lifetime but as things are, this is not a sustainable situation. Sooner or later when the regional and international context eventually requires so, there will be reunification - whether or not Cypriots want it. That is sadder because at the end of the day, Cypriots of all walks of life should be left alone and make their own decisions. =((

It would be great if Turkey, Greece and the United kingdom could leave us alone to actually create our own origin Republic.

@@itsnadaaaa If it is not a country, go and try to pass the border without permission of NORTHERN CYPRUS ARMY :) Every humanbeing is settler in this world. Greeks were the first settler and Turks are the last settler. You can't describe a part of land as a property of a nation forever.

@@dogukan450 *Turkish occupation, there's no Northern Cyprus, it's a puppet state of Turkish interest 😂 North Cyprus is about as real as an independent Kashmir 😂

@@itsnadaaaa Puppet state or not. There is a Turkish administration in the North :)

Also not greece. Cyprus is Cyprus.

no chineese language here , thanks .. It would be great if Turkey, Greece and the United kingdom could leave us alone to actually create our own origin Republic.

Altay Adademir at least someone with a bit brain and education!

Altay Adademir Turks re turks doesnt matter if we live in cyprus or anatolia. Thats just your racist mentality that wants to split Turks

what you cant bare someone who is telling the truth?t/cs are becoming extinct,because of people like you.you want to be a turk,fuck off to ankara.in cyprus live cypriots.you are in the wrong place mongol.

Then we do NOT want Turks in Cyprus. We want Cypriots. People who will put Cyprus' benefits over any other country, may that be Turkey or Greece. But hell, I don't want to be neighbors with someone who celebrates the massacre of my people every July. To be fair, the Cypriot identity is pretty new. Back then it was the Turks and the Greeks. Then the independence happened(for which let's be honest, T/C didn't help one bit). Then all of a sudden everyone was a Cypriot with a new flag and a new citizenship. Then of course it all went to hell. Let's skip that part. At the moment, statistically speaking, the "Cypriot" identity is thriving in free Cyprus(sorry, just how it is). Not so much in the occupied part. We accept that we are Greeks, it's part of culture, our DNA but we are Cypriots first(the majority).Greece is a third party to us, exceptional relations, sister country. And then there's the occupied side still wondering if Turkey should annex Cyprus. Once both parties put Cyprus first, then there's a possibility for a solution. One thing is for sure. There cannot be a solution with a foreign army in Cyprus. Not a single Greek Cypriot would accept that. A solution would benefit both countries and to be fair, it would benefit the northern part more.

+Altay Adademir They're Turkish Cypriots. You can clearly hear the Cypriot accent in their Turkish.

we tried but cant

alperen kral You invaded Cyprus idiot

alperen kral and you are killing innocent Greeks let's invade your country then huh? Great logic

Genghis Khan prove what?

The only reason why Turkey is not minding it's own business and interfering with Cyprus is because Greece wasn't minding it's own business and were trying to occupy Cyprus for themselves. You are Greek Panos, don't act like you don't know what Enosis is. Turks and Greeks took turn killing each other, they weren't even given a chance to live together in peace, because guess who wanted to own a presence in the island? The UK. Englishmen came to the island, provoked both populations into slaughtering each other, and now that the country is divided between Cyprus and an unrecognised entity, they get to keep their military bases. Russians did the same with Armenians, English and French did the same with Arabs and Kurds.

Ottomans came to Cyprus first and get the all Cyprus but Ottomans was very weak and need to get help and Ottomans asked to England and they said you will rent the Cyprus to us Ottomans must accept until they decline the rent the Russia will go and get the all Ottoman places and after some time England said England is getting Cyprus but there was Turks still in there let’s skip here to and at the WW2 England said to Greece If you want I can give you the Cyprus but there was a war inside the Greece and they didn’t accept it but after some time Greece people wanted help from Ottomans and get the most of the Greece people but they made a thing that name is ENOSIS and All Türk people hate from it because enosis means killing all the Turks in Cyprus and anext the Cyprus to Greece at least the Turkey need to get here because Greece don’t have any rights on Cyprus

But Northern Cyprus declared his independence in 1980's

Who is to say a "united island" won't lead to the slaughter of the minority group again? What guarantees do they have they won't be murdered on mass like last time.

@@williamdavis9562 its 2022..Cyprusnis in EU...with EU guarantees.....Turkey is making sure that the TC will be no more by bringing in islamified Turkish settlers who ARE NOT secular..and also considered a war crime by Geneva Convention....confidence building measures ...yes....not guarantees from Turkey...whos commitment to Cyprus in the Guarantor status agreements was to. make sure ALL Cypriots were protected and the CY constitution was protected...but by looking at secret/declassified papers from the 1950s....plans were already being drawn up for (Taksim..Partition) the failure of newly born Republic..

Hahahah we are small? Countries are not messured by land or pupulation but by the hurts flame and the blood(dna)! King Leonidas prooved it! Also China has nothing against us.

Turkey get off your dirty hands.

ras yildo none of them are yours go keep crying about it

they tried but greks put EAKO slaughter turkish civils like isis the local people want unite beacuse they want live in EU zone for money they all cunts we save them otherwise they were assimilated

Thats ridiculous. No European country wants to unite with Turkey. Especially since they are now under a dictatorship.

The Turks want to keep TRNC as a war trophy.

Greek side trying to control island without Turks , there should be 2 federal states and 2 offical languages. Everything must be equal or of course there won't be any progress.

@@cortex8608 No. Democracy in 1 republic is the only solution. Turk cypriots don't make up 50% of population so why should they get 50% of the power.

Andreas Kasiotis stupid and uneducated ppl have stupid ideas and thoughts its simple.

Which govt ? The Nord govt ? How you want the Nord govt to do anything whithout nobody except Turkey recognize them ? They cannot attract foreign found, tourist, or even let their citizen voyage in other country. The problem is not Turkey, the probleme is the Nord govt is even not recongize like a state. If the negociation fail either the world must recognize Nort Cyprus, or Turkey's shoud annexe. Because if not fair for Turkey to send money year after years and no solution is found.

Nahtaniel exactly. the north cant do shit.

annex with turkey is not fair for the people in the south. wanting to get united with another country is what caused the war to happen. whats best for both sides is compromising to the situation and completly accepting each other.i personaly would love to live in the north side just to see your culture and meet some different people. i dont see why we cant unite. the only problem will be the extremists that will be present from sides lets just hope that it wont come to fighting each other again

annex is actually never going to happen because turkey wants cyprus to send all of the natural resources found in isreals egypt and cyprus waters through turkey and not greece, which is probably why turkey will support reunification of the island.
