Only EU can be our protector

In case of a settlement in Cyprus, the only guarantee for the unification should only be the EU. Who else is there?

The three guarantee parties – Turkey, United Kingdom and Greece – with their treaty in 1960 have only abused or violated their duties.

In 1964 Turkey decided to bomb the Tylliria Area with napalm.The United Kingdom have done nothing to stop them and they should intervene politically and militarily if needed, that’s why they have Bases here. Greece, on the other hand, organised the coup in 1974 to overthrow the Cyprus Government.

This means that the treaty of Zurich-London was automatically scrapped.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
