Very, very wrong..you are a Greek Cypriot and I am a Turkish Cypriot. Different cloth, different religion and different culture.
soon as you say the words greek cypriot to me thats a betrayal in itself...........are we cypriots or are we greeks and turks. that is the imortal question here
And the "imortal" answer is given above.
You are a Greek Cypriot because you speak Greek, have a Greek background, eat Greek food, listen to and play Greek music and stand to attention when the Greek national Anthem is played.
I am a Turkish Cypriot because I speak Turkish, have a Turkish background, eat Turkish food, listen to and play Turkish music and stand to attention when the Turkish national Anthem is played.
I don't speak your language or follow your religion and you don't speak my language or follow my religion.
You have a Cross around your neck and I have a cresent and star.
You have a Greek name and I have a Turkish name.
You parents are Greek and mine are Turkish.
Your kids are Greek and mine are Turkish.
etc. etc. etc.
So what "same cloth" are you talking about?
