I said MY FELLOW Laz, as in Im Laz myself (from Kastamonu)!!!!

The only waste talker is YOU mate! Your post made NO SENSE what so ever and you're lucky I even bothered to say hello!!!

Onu bir tarafa bırak, benim Annemi umursamaylım şimdilik. Seninkini gonuşsak çok daha iyi olur gardaş! Zamanında en iyi kısmın Annenin bacaklarından akmasaydı çok daha iyi olumazmızdı şimdi? Bari ne gonuştuğunu anlardık...

Kıbrıslı bir Türknan tartışabileceğini sandıysan ÇOOOOOOK yanıldın. Herneysa sana iyi şanslar dilerim...fakat aklında olsun, bu defaya ağzına tamamen sıçacağmdan emin ol.

There has obviously been a misunderstanding,t_c...
talip thought you were insulting him for calling him a LAZ (God knows why that would be an insult,but here we are....) It might have something to do with his lack of good command of English....But he is trying to bring a new angle onto our little problem/privilege....so why don't we give him a chance???

BK mate I had no problem with him and even though I had NO IDEA what he was talking about I thought Id say hello since I have loads of family around Trabzon and Kastamonu. I get really cranky sometimes...but yes...we have all sorts of views in this place and its good to have one more!

Talip I am with you ........ we can see it as a pivilige to create a new peaceful fair and just Cyprus for all Cypriots. And I cal on the RoC to injetc financial assistance in re-building all relinquished Cypriot property for those Turkish speaking Cypriots who wish to return to their rightful properties.

Bu kadar iyi laf sokabildigin kadar, adam ol cali$ icraat yap, kar$ima doktor, muhendis, diktator olarak cik kar$ima da o zaman goreyim kimin en iyi kismi kimin hangi annesinin neresinden ne rekte aktigini.

Benim gozumde vatan haini 100.00 dolar maa$a ulkesini satip Amerikaya cali$an ODTU mezunu muhendistir.Bir de senin gibi vatanima milletime nasil daha faydali olabilirim diye derde du$meyip de, orda burda kahve ko$elerinde boyle bo$ bo$ agiz kelime oyunlari yapan adamlardir.Boyle devam et. Kizmiyorum. Devam et.Bak bakalim lafla nereye kadar yuruteceksin.

Go on.I will not be the one who will punish you.I learnt patience in the middle east.

OK mate, just to get things cleared up. I just spoke with my aunt who told me Laz can mean 'stupid/dumb' so I suppose you deserve an apology. That is NOT what I meant though! People in Cyprus always call me Laz because my dad is from Kastamonu and I have even more family where you're from, Trabzon (Çarşıbaşı).

Sorry for what I said about your mother too, I just freaked out coz I was only saying hello and was happy to see someone from Trabzon but ended up having my own mother mentioned which really pissed me off, when I get defensive there is just no stopping me and I react in a way I later regret (and I do).

Özür Dilerim!

That is very good of you,turkish_cypriot....
To be able to say sorry when you've realised you've made a mistake takes guts...You obviously have plenty of that rare gift...I look forward to welcoming you to the ranks of True Cypriots in a very near future...

"Laz" is not an insult. They are believed to be an ethnic group that existed somewhere between Greece, Georgia, Nothern Anatolia and Armenia, but more towards Georgia. If I remeber correctly they were also known as "Colchis" (hence probably the source of the surname Kolchak in Turkey!

People living along the Northern Black Sea coast of Turkey had always been addressed as Laz by the general public, but the name became diluted when a lot of jokes were made referring to the occupants of that area as "Laz", that always portrayed them as "naive" or of little intelligence. But that is not something people believe in! It is only for jokes like the Irish jokes in UK. No one in real life really believes Irish are stupid, do they? My own experience has been, people referred to as Laz, or more appropriately as "Karadenizli" are very much loved and respected by the Turkish society in Turkey, and are never looked upon as a lower form of life in their midst!

Although TC did well to apologise, in my opinion he did nothing wrong and in fact, if anyone , it should be "talipozdemir" who should apologise for misinterpreting what was written and starting the first salvo of insults on someone who was genuinely welcoming him. That's my opinion anyway!

Talip Ozdemir, merhaba. I was just beginning to appreciate your post when you decide to rebuff someones greeting and mention his mother.. Very unTurkish or unIslamic, dont you think?

Maybe they should have equal representation in the govt so as not to be dominated by a majority that ridicules them...
