The article is blatantly biased, maintaining that the 1960 constitution was "imposed" on the "people of Cyprus" and that "The Constitution provided for, under the Agreements, divided the people into two communities on the basis of ethnic origin and the Turkish Cypriot minority was given rights disproportionate to its size." The allegation is that the Greek Cypriots are the "people of Cyprus" - the Turkish Cypriots were never opposed to the 1960 agreement - and that giving the Turkish Cypriot community its rights in accordance with international standards constitutes an "imposition."
This is the prevalent view among Greek Cypriot sympathizers of the EOKA terrorist organization, which at the time desired not an independent Cyprus but annexation by Greece and the ethnic cleansing of the Turkish Cypriots, and whose bloody actions led Britain to initiate the independence process. The 1960 constitution was illegally amended by Archbishop Makarios and the Turkish Cypriots expelled from government.
On July 28, 1960 Makarios, the Greek Cypriot president, said: "The independence agreements do not form the goal they are the present and not the future. The Greek Cypriot people will continue their national cause and shape their future in accordance with THEIR will." In a speech on Sept. 4, 1962 at Panayia Makarios said, "Until this Turkish community forming part of the Turkish race that has been the terrible enemy of Hellenism is expelled, the duty of the heroes of EOKA can never be considered terminated." The following year, 8 articles of the constitution were amended, Turkish Cypriot officials were stripped of their functions, and a military attack against Turkish Cypriot communities codenamed Akritas was launched.
EOKA's views are still highly popular among Greek Cypriots today. The current president of the divided island is a former high-level EOKA militant.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Papakarl ( talk • contribs) 09:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
1. Is this Title widely used? (is there a citation?) This article was actually written on "the documents concerning the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus, comprising the Basic Structure for the Republic of Cyprus, the Treaty of Guarantee and the Treaty of Alliance"
2. This article was highly partisan, written from a Government (G-C) POV. As a start on NPOV, I have simply cut it down to focus on the provisions of the 1959-1960 Agreements and Treaties and their failure, and citations from the Treaty of Guarantee. Please could someone find authorities for these remaining facts?
3. I have removed qualitative judgements, but it needs authenticated facts selected from the T-C POV, to balance those selected from the other POV. Jezza ( talk) 21:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
The main Cyprus page points to this page:
The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the entire island, including its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, with the exception of the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, which remain under the UK's control according to the London and Zürich Agreements.
But the page under discussion, "London and Zürich Agreements", makes no mention of the status of the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. The relevant information should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaimkutwiki ( talk • contribs) 09:40, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
