"Racism in Cyprus and in the world
By Emilios Lemonaris
EXCLUSION as a systematic political practice was applied in Germany by the Nazis and the Third Reich. It was applied by the National Party in South Africa between the years 1948 and 1994, and by the Ku Klux Klan in the American South. In Cyprus, the attempt to impose exclusion shortly after independence in 1963 finally led to the Turkish invasion and to the occupation of northern Cyprus, which continues to the present day. Between the years 1974 and 2004, exclusion in the Turkish Community with Rauf Denktash as its spokesman stood as the obstacle to the attempts by the International Community to assist in the solution of the Cyprus Problem. Ever since Tassos Papadopoulos was elected President of the Republic, exclusion is again the cause of the impasse in which the efforts to reunite Cyprus are presently to be found."
