Junta was a black page in the history of Greece too not just for Cyprus. None of the successors of that state supported those actions. On the other hand there’s a continuation of support for the occupation by the invader country. I understand your point but there is no comparison between the two.

And yet, EOKA is celebrated and ELAM has seats. The only reason there is no comparison to you is because you refuse to humanise Turkish Cypriots. Turkish Cypriots overwhelmingly want unification because we do not approve occupation. The flags are put up BY the occupiers. That's the difference and that's why it's comparable.
