This is shameful behaviour that there is so much hate and discrimination being thrown around by members of both communities. I am feeling sick in the stomach that after a referendum to bring our people together this sort of behaviour is rife.
People from both sides have suffered and are still suffering and all we can argue about is the past that we cannot change.
Think about it carefully because none of us are actually doing any thing positive to bring people together or to better people's current situations and at this rate we'll all be dead before people see a betterment to their situation. Perhaps when we are all dead Cyprus might then unite. I was 6 years in 74 I am now 39 and with this behaviour I doubt that I will see a free and united Cyprus.
I hope and pray that the new generation post 74 will be more enlightened than the ones up to 74 and do something positive for the Island.
A dreamer no more, welcome to the real world...we arrived many years ago realising that neither side has a desire vision or need to compromise enough to encourage unity as the same mentality prevails as it was in 1963. Many generations after us will also argue in the same fashion and Cyprus will remain divided for a long time to come if not forever. The sooner we accept this fact we can agree to go our seperate ways and get beyond the Cyprus problem and live without these issues being predominant in our lives, leaving us to concentrate on building a better future for our children.
