The French and British does not ignore history, they specifically used it to created decisions to create a dependency on them and crush the promise of a united Arab state following the demise of the ottoman empire
Cyprus had a Greek and Turkish identifying population for centuries. Turkiye only occupied the northern half when the Greek fascist dictators at the time helped the Greek Cypriot fascists stage a coup and planned to have Greece annex all of Cyprus and ethnically cleanse the Turkish identifying people.
The UK were supposed to prevent that as the arbitrating security guarantor for previous Cyprus agreements, but being the cunts they are, they didnt do shit, even after Turkiye invited them to action.
Everybody timeshares and moves regions, i.e. one region will be Western Christian on Mondays, Orthodox Christian on Tuesdays, Jewish on Wednesday to Thursday, Muslim Friday to Saturday (alternating between Shia and Sunni), with Sunday for minority groups not counted here.
Except for Jerusalem, which will be managed by the Scientologists.
Always blaming other people; the states that were created after the colonialism period had plenty of time, plenty of time to lay down their arms and give up any power to reform the shape of map however they felt represented each tribe best, but they haven't, have they? People are so addicted to authority but feel so guilty about wielding it, that they always need some percieved outward antagonizer in order to feel legitimized in executing that selfsame authority

Yeah they were pure evil for that. I don’t know if evil is strong enough a word for causing generations of pain and conflict on purpose.

The conflict at large is not Cyprus vs. Turkiye but Greece vs. Turkiye, as part of the eternal battle over yogurt with honey bragging rights.
