Yes in the past its people were influenced by Hellenism but those days are past and now it is its own Country with its own unique people which are as different to the Greeks in their culture as the Americans and Aussies are to the British
What a load of nonsense RichardB, just face it We Cypriots know who we are ...we are GREEKS..pure and simple....we know our history, our heritage etc.......
anyway, everybody knows those Chiorokitians were a bunch of communist fanatics! We could never have come from them....although there are a few paphites who remind me of a couple of guys from 3500BC
You seem to be completely ignorant of the difference of history and pre-history...
Please enlighten us for we are a lost people! I'm dying to find out how the ancient Cypriots are not our ancestors and for some bizarre reason some other people from hundreds of kilometers away are. What a twist of fate!
Cyprus is not Greek. Most of it population is Greek speaking. It belongs to no one, it belongs to all the people who live on it, but most of all it belongs to the people who love this island, and who care for it.
There never was a Cypriot people until the world ended the subjugation of thousands of years, in 1960, and gave us this identity, where we are equals.
I work for this end. I am Greek, or Grecophone, like so many all over the world attached to a heritage with which I have a sense of pride.
Regardless, I am a person, first, a member of the larger Fomily, of Man, and so my proposals are inclusive and I welcome the creation of a Greek state, like its counterpart, to serve and sustain its population as a majority, leaving the Republic of Cyprus to reform its Constitution so that it is the best defender of our Individual Rights that it can be, without the bias of one culture.
Similarly, Bi-zonality means pocketing the island with many enclaves so that Grecophones can return to communities in the north, as there will be settlements in the south for their Turcophonic counterpart.
