Hi all!

Im new to this forum, and this is my first post

Reading the previous posts, noone mentioned Pyla.

It is a very special village in the Larnaca district. It is the only village that is still inhabited by all the original greek and turkish cypriots, they wanted to remain there and agreed in 1974.

They live there with no problems.

EDIT :
However I have found this interesting article about the residents of Pyla.

Thats probably why the TCs and GCs have separate coffee shops, football teams, restaurant, market....etc

Very sarcastic...

VP, having read *all* ur posts, u are very anti - Greek and extremely narrow - minded for someone who lived in the UK.

You are a good example, of why we have a "Cyprus problem" and why it continues to exist.

Who ever wrote that article, is a little clueless. They could have at least spelt "Cypress" correctly. Must have been an American from California, where there are a lot of "Cypress Trees".

As for the citizens of Pyle / Pile not interacting, is another false claim. It is true that there are cafes and restaurants owned by both GC's and TC's, as it is the same in London, but that does not mean that people of this village do not visit each others establishments. When I was there April of this year, half the people at the "Turkish Cafe, were in fact GC's, playing Tavla together.

The liberated area?

Funny you mentioned that. I read it as well that the General (Head of the occupation forces) over there has splurted out that he considers Cyprus the ancestral home of the Turks and that so far the Turks have only liberated half of the island. The rest needs to be liberated as well.

I'll dig up the article and post it.

Ignore him DT. He probably came from the same school where they tell you that Turks descended from the Hittites. Now where did I hear that? Scythians more likely, but Hittites!!
Going off a tangent again?

Probably the same school that reckons Homer was a Turkish poet who went by the name of Omer Bay until the thieving Greeks pinched him and declared him as one of their own

Cypriot, Not Greek, Not turk, just plain... old Cypriot !

And I buy all my clothes from a TC in Pyla. Man he is tough negotiating the prices, but I like him.
