On the other site , also atrocities were committed , and even today , some 100 or so churches are vandalised , turned into casinos , mosques , warehouses , an affront to all Cypriots not only the worshippers but also equally insulting to all those who respect the others right to worship .
It is up to us , the children of Cyprus , to stop spreading hatred and begin to preach reconciliation and respect for each other. The Vps , and the Zans epitomise what those fanatics of the 60s were . Piratis does not preach hatred , have followed his posts and he is consistent , he abhors illegalities , after all the entire world agrees on that point. How can you support a regime that sells my ancestral home to foreign developers not caring whether it is morally reprehensible or not.
On the whole I think this is your finest post.
Miltiades while I agree with most of what you said there is a few things I don't agree with.
Piratis is the worst kind of propagandist in here.
Propagandist;
The systematic propagation of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a cause. Basically to drown you with information so that you tend to believe them more than not believe them.
Now you try and tell me how Piratis is different from the above description...That fit's Piratis more than it does zan OR VP.
He doesn't give a shit about Turkish Cypriots anyways! He has lied in order to squirm his way out of telling the truth on MANY occasions. Maybe the reason you don't think he's a propagandist is because he's fighting the same cause as you but Piratis is here to PUSH the GC side of the story and not to resolve
anything. He's here to make the TCs look as bad as possible and GCs as the victims. I'm suprised so many people are playing stupid in this forum...
What you don't realise is that just how VP and zan piss you off there are a lot of GCs who are doing the same to the TCs in exactly the same way!
When Piratis talks about Turkish people raping women and all that, you guy's keep quiet but soon as VP and zan open their mouths to talk about the GC crimes you're all quick to jump up cry about "propaganda"...it's a TRAVESTY Miltiades and I'm not just going to keep quiet when people are too narrow minded to see what's going on.
