Aren’t your people the remnants of the Ottomans in Cyprus? Are you attempting to detach yourself from your ancestors so as not to inherit their woes?
but your father discriminated and reduced my my father into a second class citizen only 40 years ago.
Well isn’t he VERY lucky that he was only reduced to a second class citizen because my great grandfather, and everyone else before him, was reduced to a slave so I guess you can count your blessings.
When you next pray to your God please don’t forget to say a BIG… “Thank you” …that GC’s found it in their hearts to treat your father as a citizen of some sort.
Don’t EVER forget that for us indigenous Cypriots the Cyprus problem did not start in 1963 but in 1571. Thank you.
