If you go to my village,can I ask you to kiss the ground for me?
I am not sure that Kikapu is as sentimental as you and I,my brother(I asked him too if you remember)...
And try to imagine it green,green with vineyards,orange and plum orchards,almond,wallnut and fig trees,wheat and legume fields,plenty of sheep and goat herds...and a little boy of 10 riding on a donkey bareback...

I can see that little boy very clearly Bir, and it's a beautiful picture I have in my mind right now...

Thought from a clever blonde:
Speaking of flags, did anybody count how many flags this island is carrying on its back?
Let me see...
The white Cyprus Flag with an orange map of the island and olive branches,
The Blue and White Greek Flag,
The yellow Byzantine double headed eagle flag for the church,
The Red and White Crescent and Star Turkish Flag,
The White and Red Crescent and Star Turkish Cypriot Flag,
The United Nations light Blue Flag,
The Twelve Star European Flag and
The Union Jack, the British Flag in the British Base Areas.
If I haven't left any other flag behind that is a total of 8 flags for a total of 800,000 people living in Cyprus as we speak. So there is a different flag for every 100,000 people.
So, Manchester United is bigger than Cyprus!!!!!

You forgot about the Blue Flags. We got 50 of them

The size of Turkish Cypriot army GKK varies between 3000-3500.

The Turkish army TBK has reduced its size in the last few years and it is believed to be between 25000-30000...
