Europe's top human rights court on Monday ordered Turkey to pay 90 million euros ($123 million) to Cyprus over the 1974 invasion of the island and its subsequent division, in one of the largest judgments in its history.
Leaving the question of whether the Turkish invasion was worse than the pro-Greek coup that threatened to unite Cyprus with Greece aside, you have to be impressed by the machinery of the international community.
Oh, just how will Putin sleep tonight knowing that one day--after he has died peacefully in his bed of old age--his own conquest of Crimea might face the judgment of the international community's top human rights court?
It's been forty years. But at least Turkey has been formally judged to be standing on the wrong side of history. So the Greek Cypriots have got that going for them.
The hashtag campaign starts tomorrow, right?
