lena my parents both speak greek and turkish their parents before them and my great gandparents to ..................im from a family that has a background of christion marrying muslim going back five generations. does that make me turkish

my parents dont speak greek and we have never mixed with greeks, but have been living in cyprus for many many generations, does that make me Turkish?!

So you two gentlemen…how you call your selves? Are you or are you not Cypriots? Can you see my point? Both of you! Language, religion etc doesn’t make you less or more Cypriot! We are not talking about names and titles…

LENA
to answer your question properly i do not have anything in common with greeks or turks.................. the only thing i have in common with these two is the laguages i speak nothing else......................... maybe im wrong do you think i should have lot more things in common with the turks and greeks i really like to hear your opinion on this one

Ok free_cyprus…I have to do something important here … so I will finish it and I will come back with a proper answer to that…ok?

I am sorry that I will let you down free_cyprus…but I have lots of things to do apart from this forum…so this morning I had to leave and I didn’t have enough time to write a LONG reply…I have only the time to tell you that I will get back to you soon …just to not let you worry about me ; ) or believe that I was scared and run away! And for sure I don’t think for days what I will write down…I am spontaneous…but I do think what I will write in the forum…that’s why I avoid to write what ever will came up to my mind! I am not trying to publish my bullshit!

Well as for the answer that you wanted…yes we do have common things with Greek and Turks…where should I start…ok first of all the language that you agree so I don’t have to explain more…do we have same religion? (Most of us…that we believe in God) … well we born in a family and we follow the religion of our family…I am Christian and you are Muslim…well is something else if you don’t believe or you decided to change your religion afterwards. But tell me that is not that way…! Anyway we have same attitude…I have never seen more noisy people than us (us=Cypriot, Turks, Greek)…we talk like we are having a fight, we laugh like we are yelling, we celebrate like is our last day of our lives…etc! We have common dances, we have common cuisine, we have common traditions/customs, we have common way to raise our children and take care of them, we even have the same way of thinking….we are all passionate with our countries, we have the same sense of humour…we make fun of our selves, friends and others…we even look like the same…I was able to recognise all the Turks, Cypriots and Greek in UK…

Free_cyrpus…we you deny all the common things … after all we are human beings and we have common things as well…we are neighbour countries and we used to live together for many years ago…anyway…I am a bit tired so I will not write more…do you disagree with the above?

I am not going to tell you about history and politics because each country has their own history etc…but we keep mix our history with the Turkish history or the Greek history!

free_cyprus , dont be so ridiculous , the Cypriots are the majority , where did you get this ridiculous idea that we are only 1% .

Maybe he got carried away by your nickname.

Maybe, or then again, the same description would also apply to my late granny's mule.

[free_cyprus]

since you know how to be as smart ass, perhaps you can answer, what i mean, by when i say true cypriots one percent in the world.

[aussiedrillerman]

Being that there are 6 + billion in the world then 1% would mean that there are 60,000,000 Cypriots

Now for a country that has 800,000 that means when you travell overseas the don't just breed like rabbits

Crikey you guys must bonk everything that moves..and if it doesnt move..give it a kick just in case.
