SN! I have been trying to say something similar to what you have said in your previous posts but I could never find the right words and everytime I tried I (as usuall) said it in the wrong way and people misunderstood my point. I don't know about Greece or her human rights issues.
What my point is, is that by the time Greek Cypriots started shouting ''ENOSIS'' they were NOT ''just'' Greeks. They were CYPRIOTS...more over they were the INDIGENOUS CYPRIOTS with 3000 years of history on this island. They may of been similar to mainland Greeks when they first arrived but by 1960s they were UNIQUE to CYPRUS with their own motherland that they'd been living in for CENTURIES!!
When Greece set her eyes on Cyprus she INFECTED these indigenous Cypriots and turned them against their countries best interests. ENOSIS had NOTHING to do with Cypriots but EVERYTHING to do with GREECE, it wasnt in the name of Cypriots it was in the name of GREEKS who may I add had NOTHING to do with this countries UNIQUE culture which EVERY majority, minority, animal, plant and tree living in Cyprus contributed to! Cyprus was CYPRIOT! People lived the Cypriot lifestyle not the Greek one! These people were brainwashed into serving Greeces interests!!!!
Since GCs started shouting ENOSIS they've forgotten about the true INDIGENOUS CYPRIOTS they once were and have turned more Greek than Cypriot and they are completely OBLIVIOUS to this FACT...With a 3000 year history on this island why they need statues of the man who wrote Greeces anthem is totally beyond me. Isnt that an INSULT to themselves more than anything? They diss our statues of Atatürk because Atatürk had nothing to do with Cyprus yet put up statues of this man as if he had anything to do with Cyprus himself?!?!? Is there something I dont get??
Some people I wont mention any names talk as though they are just Greeks born in Cyprus when in reality they WERE a lot more than that, they WERE their own people! Again at the time of Zeus or the 12 Gods they were proper Greeks...by the time they were TRICKED into wanting ENOSIS they were more than just Greeks. Plus remember that GCs were the indigenous Cypriots who were ASSIMILATED by Greeks...so no matter how much you get diluted they were (deep down) what they were to begin with...THE INDIGENOUS CYPRIOTS who were on this island from the get go!
I might sound naive but I KNOW theres truth in what I'm saying because I see the old GCs in my own people and I KNOW they didnt just get it from no where because we are completely different to mainland Turks and completely different to GCs we have today. Some GC members have even said that ''some TCs are more Cypriot than us''...and ITS TRUE...how can that be unless something went terribly wrong?? Something SERIOUSLY isnt right and some GCs should really think about it. Since ENOSIS my people do not want to live with the GCs who they DID get along perfectly fine with no matter what anyone says. Our words are in their vocabulary as theirs is in ours...our foods are on their menus as theirs is on ours...the list goes ON AND ON AND ON...we were NOT enemies untill Greece tried to claim Cyprus!!!! We all had a part in making Cyprus what it was till Greece came, propagandized and brainwashed the GCs into serving her own interests and then left them out in the cold when it didnt work out BECAUSE THEY DID IT FOR THEMSELVES AND NOT CYPRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must go to bed now because Im going into the army in the morning (:?
