[edit] Events leading to the creation of the enclaves

UNFanatic, I think that your recent addition to this sections are a bit superfluous. This article is about the enclaves themselves and while the events leading to their creation are important and should be mentioned, I think the section about them cannot be the largest section in the article. Those tragic events should have their own article and mentioned here as a summary.

Moreover, I can't get over the idea that your additions are a bit POVish, I mean reading the section gives out the idea that the Turkish Cypriots were the only ones responsible for the situation. Of course they have a part in the responsibility but I doubt that the Turkish Cypriot community chose to live in plight, poverty and lack of housing, water etc just to make a political statement.

Please, consider if you should change some of your additions. --Michalis Famelis 12:26, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I reverted it to the version before my edits. I am a little flustered that this article needs expansion but no one want to improve on a supposed POV statement and use the English language to turn it into something non-POVish. I would like some more help but here but no one is willing...all it is up until now is revert instead of edit/revise.(UNFanatic 20:44, 24 February 2006 (UTC))
