And when can we expect Cyprus to explode again?

[Leonora]

Gloating, aren't we?

I don't know... All I can say is that the island is bound by treaty not to join any organizations in which Greece and Turkey are not both members. Were that provision be broken, Turkey would annex the north. It seems as though the EU does not mind ignoring the treaty, as well as the terrorist problem.

Turkish annexation of occupied Cyprus would constitute a casus belli

French Euro MP Jean-Charles Marchiani warned Tuesday that Turkey would be provoking war if it annexed occupied northern Cyprus following Cyprus attainment of European Union membership.

"Attempts to annex a part of Cyprus would cause a termination of EU-Turkish associate relations and would constitute a casus belli," Marchiani said following meetings with Greek Cypriot leaders in Nicosia.

Cyprus hopes to accede to the EU by late 2002.

Tensions between Greece and the United States increased this week after a former American ambassador to Athens asserted that there were links between the country's ruling political elite and the Revolutionary Organization 17 November...

Yeah let's waste our energy on some third rate terrorist group that is acting only within Greek borders, instead of looking for real terrorist bases and supporters in Bosnia, Kosovo, Saudi Arabia, Turkey ect..

We've been screaming this for years.

Oh no Shermy, you didn't :) Do I have to take them all on by myself?

The Greeks are the friends of the Arabs. They are our enemies. Nothing has changed over the decades. The only reason Greek terrorists don't kill even more Americans is that they're too cowardly to strike outside Greece where prominent people protect them. If the Turks want all of Cyprus, I say let them have it. They can send the Greeks back to Athens as a warning to Greece that they're either with us or dead.

[Leonora]

Since then (1973), the terrorists have killed 22 more people, Greeks and foreigners, with most of the foreigners Americans. Not a single related arrest has been made

Wow, 22 people in 30 years, I am sure that Al Quaida admires these guys for their efficency. After all, how does that compare to killing 6000 people in 15 minutes!

Message to the US government:
1. Orthodox Christians are your friends. (repeat that 15 times) 2. Get serious and get some real terrorists!

[Leonora]

If yoy think Turks are your friends, than I have one word for you: Taliban.

And where did you get that that Greeks are friends of Arabs? Though I am sure they don't have anything against them per se..

[a_Turk]

Yeah let's waste our energy on some third rate terrorist group...

NO! Let's be thorough and get them all, large and small!

[Pericles]

Only 22 victims??

How many victims did Tansu Ciller's gang kill?

[Shermy]

I've seen you in action, I know you can handle it.

And in the future, I'm adding Leonora to ACTO ping list. ;) (ACTO=Aegean/Cyprus Theater of Operations)

[blaster88]

I was targeted by November 17 when I was in Greece.

Bastards.

Duh, November 17 is tied to the political structure of Greece. The Communists and Socialists are in power.

[Leonora]

I'd rather you put me on Aegean/Cyprus vacation list!

[Pericles]

I actually think that this is true about this terrorist group. Its old well published news. Hand it to the NYT for publishing timely material, NOT.

Take a look at Turley's rulers and the company they keep. The difference between Turkey's govt linked criminals and Greece's is that the Greek criminals are better drivers.

AMBITION FOR ALL SEASONS: TANSU CILLER* By Ustun Reinart

Editor's Summary: Tansu Ciller, leader of the True Path party, is one of Turkey's most powerful politicians. As Turkey prepares for its coming elections, she is a key powerbroker for forming the next government. Yet she has constantly walked the edge of disaster, through both her political decisions and personal choices.

In the fall of 1996, when a Turkish mafia leader, a police chief and a politician from Ciller's party were found to have been travelling together in the same car after a traffic accident, one of Ciller's close associates, Internal Affairs minister Mehmet Agar, had to resign because of his ties to organized crime and to right-wing death squad killings.

This article won't make the blind bit of difference. Why?

The US and Greece signed a new wide-ranging military agreement on the use of Greek territory and facilities by the US government a few months ago. Greece is a fundamental part of the US effort to pin down the Balkans. There may be a few slaps behind the scenes, but nothing much more as real pressure could backfire on the US, i.e. the Greeks might get as annoyed as Turkey does every time a Western country mentions the Armenian Genocide...

[Pericles]

Shalom again. What is the matter? Still hate all us gentiles?
