Of course that was the plan. You didn't know we were going move to the Atilla line ? That was the original plan to begin with. It was why we broke the U.N. ceasefire. Once we reached that line the military plan put out was complete.
As far as your question. Yes i see nothing wrong with this in the context that it was done as propaganda in the war effort. As far as the morale implications of burning a religious building down i see it is wrong. Just like i see CIA torturing people as wrong and terror proxies targeting civilians as wrong. I also see what greek plan was if the coup succeed as wrong which was to completely wipe out the Turkish Cypriots as Nikos Sampson said in a interview.
man, I am a bit worried about the things you say and about you.
First, the interview was in 1981, perhaps, a result of all the provocation doctored by acts such as the one described by the turkish former General. But I will not stay on that.
I want to talk about something else.
What is it inside you that makes you believe that aggressive tactics such as this (and the lies that go with them) are justified in any sense ?
I don't know if you realised it, but that admission was the nail to the coffin of any (thin as it was) moral ground and justification the then leadership had on the cyprus issue.
Your admission as well, shows beyond any doubt that you are ok with practices such as these.
At the end of the day, jigs, i don't think you are doing your side any favours by saying you are ok with this, don't you see that aside from other things it puts your side firmly on the side of the offender who simply manufactured an excuse to gain more from something they shouldn't.
I have heard a million times about the enosis and all that crap... At the time Greece was under a junta, which was installed by the americans, WHO BEYOND ANY DOUBT moved behind the scenes to serve turkish plans that are now openly admitted to all ...
were is the justification in anything that happened anymore... ?
I don't know about you, but I can hear the moral ground slipping under turkish feet, and I am concerned that you are loosing your moral ground as well..
i hope it isn't so...
