He is a TC and during his life he had a lot of contact with TCs already, so I don't think he doesn't know the TC viewpoint. So why don't you tell me in what way his viewpoint would change? If he formed an opinion about GCs then how exactly this opinion would change by visiting the occupied areas??
Hes 52 not been back to Cyprus for 4 years, means he left when he was 9 hardly supports the above arguement.
Lets try and put this more simply, 2 people argue and you only listen or take into account one side, do you feel this person can make an unbiased evaluation? maybe you have had it this way for so long you really believe this is how it should always be.
Really? So why do you want to impose an apartheid kind of separation of TCs and GCs (on the expense of the human rights of 100s of thousands of people) and not to follow the example of the so many other democratic multi-ethnic countries that exist? Come on Viewpoint, maybe you don't say "GCs are evil" but thats the main message within all your lame excuses that you give to support the partition of Cyprus.
You obviously do not remember my views on this and I will not repeat them yet again, go look them up.
Yes, you are right on this. Kikapu has not taken any GC land, so a return to legality will certainly not affect him negatively in the way it will affect you.
The truth Viewpoint is that even a person that has suffered himself from the intercommunal conflict can realize that today that past is used merely as an excuse for land gains.
I and many TCs like me have not taken any GC land.
Viewpoint, I will ask you again what would kikapu learn by visiting the occupied areas to make him change his mind? By visiting the southern part of Cyprus he learned that Greek Cypriots are not the monsters some people wanted him to believe they are, and that TCs and GCs can live together again without racist divisions.
Now tell me what new he would learn if he visited the occupied areas?
Can you give an answer to this? Or you just found this point, that Kikapu didn't visit the north, as a good way to attack him? (since you have nothing else to say)
Ditto above, one side of the story is always an unbalanced view. What would actually change in kikapolous mind, having read his posts for a while now actually I would think nothing as he hates and depises anything remotely Turkish just like yourself so fo rme he is not a TC but a GC imposter.
I think the account from Kikapu's relative who was speaking "off the record" (or so he thought) prove that what I say is the truth for many (most?) TCs in the occupied areas:
This account was just utter crap and ficticious, hes spoon feeding you what you want to hear and your lapping it up.
You know, I know and everybody knows that the number 1 issue is land, with you (the partitionists) wanting to gain as much land as possible on the loss of GCs. Just like Talat you wouldn't admit this in a public forum, so I don't expect you to do so. At the same time don't expect that anybody else is buying your lame excuses.
The abıve statement tell me and other forum members the you know absuloutly nothing about TCs.
Cypriots are just like all other human beings. We could perfectly live in a democratic multi-ethnic country like the so many other. At the same time, greed is part of human nature as well. This is the key that Turkey uses to maintain the TC support for the occupation. Everything else is minor compared to the land gains, and it is exaggerated by the Turkish propaganda by a factor of 100, to be used first as an excuse to the outside word, and second as an excuse to the conscience of those TCs that benefit from partition on the loss of GCs.
Was greed the nature of the GC in 1963? to return to a united Cyprus you will have to adopt a great deal of something like the AP and we are all aware you are resoundingly against this. Your best best is still that swing Piratis.
