The snake on the crane says,
" Very misleading and essentially a lie. This would have people believe that even after Cyprus' so-called independance, many Greek Cypriot still wanted union with Greece. This is not true at all. Over 95% or maybe 99% wanted no union with Greece - especially when the Greek junta came into power."

It sounds that there is a lie somewher; yet this is not the impression we get from the Media. The noises re; Enosis always comes through loud and clear.

DA I do not know why you even bother! I personally ignore quotes and claims that include percentages and events that are not backed by any proof or a link to a source! As the saying goes (in North) "The tongue has no bones", add to that th esaying " to him who wants to understand the sound of a mosquito will sound like a 'saz', to him who does not want to understand the sound of drums will be "az" (i.e silence)".

Talk about childhood memories...
I was driving through Nicosia yesterday on my way to Kyrenia...Outside Makedonitissa Church i saw a panayiri being set up..I thought i'll stop by & check it out..good job i did..Felt like i went back in time..

There were various stands selling nuts & sweets i hadn't seen since 34 years.
There were sugar coated chick peas & almonds in various colours,Paluze,Kofter,Sucuk and many more..
First thing i asked was pastelli which i havent eaten since before 1974...I used to love it..When i was a child,there used to be an old man in Limassol selling pastelli on his bicycle..he had this wooden crate tied up on the back of his bicycle with a great big lump of pastelli..he used to chip off the pastelli with a hammer he carried and the going rate was in "bakiri" as he called it.."bakiri" was the name old cypriots called piastre in them days..(bakir is copper in Turkish which piastres were made of) Depending on the size of the chipped of pastelli we,used to pay one or two "bakiri".
There was another stand with tables & chairs ,i was told they cook & sell fresh lokma & samisi in the evening..
I am planning to pay another visit tomorrow evening to try those too..

Funny how some simple things can bring back memories you thought you had forgotten..
