@NickGr
You seem like a good fella, (or at least pretending to be nice since you are in a Turkish dominated forum).
You keep calling Turkey aggressor and imperialistic. Let's stop for a moment a and look back to last century. Greeks tried to invade our homeland. Greeks tried to massacre Turkish population in Cyprus. Greeks tried to start a drama on a tiny island which is visible from homeland (not yours). Every time Turks beat you.
We have no interests about fighting the Greeks or invading Greece mainland or it's islands. Yet, your people really like to start shit with Turkey.
The fact that it is a turkish dominated forum doesn't have anything to do with my behaviour, we're not in any sort of battlefield anyway, it's a forum here. I don't understand why we should get back a century looking at the ottoman empire and look at the 1920s and not 2,3 or 4 centuries ago or even more.
What i'm talking about is the successor state of the ottoman empire, Turkey thus i'm talking after 1923, when the new state was founded, after all, after the Lausanne treaty Greece and Turkey officially became allies with no territorial disputes, we even became members to the NATO alliance together. For the Cyprus matter i won't avoid the answer, it's true we wanted Enosis with Greece, with island having a greekcypriot ratio of 82% to 18% turkishcypriots, with .
Cyprus is a big topic of its own actually and needs a lot of discussion, but for now all i'm going to say in my opinion is that what happened was a combination of british, american well planned conspiracy, Cyprus leader Makarios arrogancy and tendency to play neutral or even go with the soviets if needed(the americans and british called him Castro of the Mediterreanean) when a kind of unification with Greece could have occured giving you a small part of land with military baseduring the most competitive period of the Cold War and your willingness to play the role the british and americans offered you. In the end either tragic, naive mistakes or even treachery of the greek military junta, that decided to replace the elected cypriot leader Makarios was what gave you the "pretext" you needed to invade, even though in 1974 no turkishcypriots were harmed during the coup, actually greekcypriots loyal to Makarios that resisted were killed by greek hands.
The attrocities that happened in Cyprus to both sides, including greekcypriots and turkishcypriots of course, were long before the 1974 invasion, the 1963-1964 period mostly, you didn't invade then but 10 years later.
Even before those attrocites you started the pogrom against the greek minority of Imvros, Tenedos and Istanbul, as a result the greek minority numbers only 2 to 3 thousand old people mostly in Istanbul and very few in those 2 islands, while at the same time the muslim minority of greek Thrace has somewhat increased in numbers.
Surely you claim greek islands, even inhabited ones, with "real" greek people on them.
Imia the most well known incident is ofc greek as i showed in the protocol attached to the turkish-italian agreement of 1932, you hadn't defied it since the 90s.
Greek people are doing what against turks? Stay where you are, put no claims and we can discuss or go to the international court about the continental shelf-territorial waters etc. When you raise a bigger and bigger turkish "Aegean" army with landing crafts as our turkish friend showed us before, especially designed as he said for invasion on greek islands, it's totally natural we will send defensive forces there, you can attack us not the other way around, except for some artillery barrages, perhaps combined with air bombardments that will inflict damage on the densely populated turkish coastal cities, we can't do anything more like initiating an invasion..
