Actually it was America that staged the coup for reasons that I wont go in to, Sampson the so called replacement for Makarios was on the CIA payroll.
I don't know how old your son in law is or if he knows anything about this but if you can when you have time sit down with your daughters in-laws and have a chat with them, I'm sure they will have a lot to say especially if they were displaced by the invasion.
While Turkey still illegally occupies another EU country they should never be allowed to join.
It's like inviting Israel and Palestine to join the same chamber of commerce.
The more I read about the situation the more I tend to agree with you - neither the USA nor even more so the UK behaved in the best interests of Cyprus and must bear a great deal of the blame for the current setup.
Fortunately despite their machinations neither the US nor the UK managed to force Cyprus to give up their right to veto, as an EU member, the accession of any new member. Turkey's wish to join the EU and the support for this from both the US and the UK may provide the best hope for a peaceful and a just settlement for Cyprus and Geek and Turkish Cypriots.
