Also the Viewing Post is basically this crappy army post they have set up right next to the wall for everyone to climb on and take a good look over to our side and some Marash I believe, so that they can all clearly see the "doings" of the evil Turks. They have even placed multilingual signs right next to it for the convenience of the dumbass Brits, giving them brief info on Cyprob, who then come back to UK and tell me about MY country and how i shouldn't be there!
Gosh...the GC's are so creative when it comes to propaganda. Sorry but we're crap at even getting our side of the story heard let alone the propaganda. It pisses me off so much when I hear people brainwashed by GC propaganda who try and tell me about my country. Even some people in here like that horrid Carleen woman who was trying to tell me that the TCs came in 1974 with Turkey.
In all my time in the UK I have rarely ever heard anyone telling our side of the story which is a bloody shame. Even some of our own people who are so clever, even some in (dare I say it) ATCA who have had first hand experience on what happened completely flop in doing anything constructive with their knowledge to help. I mean look at Ottoman who just came in here and started bragging about his familys involvement in TMT, calling people pezevengiz, gavurs and saying things like "north cyprus is ours now you lost ha ha ha...". Imagine how some people percieve us, even though it don't sound like a big deal it really matters. TC's just don't play it smart like the GC's do and we end up looking really bad because of it. Like what the article Zan posted a week back said "what matters is perception" and I don't think a lot of TCs get it.
This is why I found people accusing VP of propaganda hilarious...because I don't believe there is any worthwhile propaganda coming from our side. GC's propaganda is clever and even though it's cheap people fall for all that emotional s***.
[gulp] Reading back this post it seems fit for ATCA but I don't mean it in a bad way...I don't mean we should lie (actually quite the opposite) or make things worse but if TCs are going to tell their story we should at least do it in a more effective way instead of being so agressive and stubborn.

Sounds it!

Yeah I know. Though I have to say that I don't agree with lighting it up like some Xmas tree while people sit in their homes in the dark
