disagreements in interpretation of the actual event

Those are important key words and have contributed a lot to the Cyprus problem..

assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!!!

that seems like pushing it ur face waving flags of TRNIC ( turkish republic of northern invaded cyprus ) its like if i go to a football match say against liverpool and manchester and i go to the manchester side waving liverpool flag... what do u think they will do to me?:).... but ive yet to see anything in the news about this

Of course DT, we have similar thugs on our side just as any other country has. But the fact remains, no Greek car was attacked in such a way in TRNC, although many GCs have crossed over!

Sorry my friend but you are wrong. One of the worst incidents was the burning of 3 GC cars during the liturgy at Ayios Mamas Church in Morphou. One of the cars belonged to a doctor friend of mine (Dr Economou). This man was and still is a firm supporter of peace. While he is obviously a victim.

What puzzles me is the attitude of the Yecedal family just compare it with Dr Economou’s case. Don’t those people have the common sense to evaluate what happened?

NB. 1) Talat went on publicly to declare the GC owners of the burned cars would be compensated. What a nice guy, how easy it is to manufacture a good image just for the cameras. It’s been almost 3(?) years nobody contacted them and nobody compensated them a single penny.And I know Economou crosses very frequently.
2) VP actually lied. Hence the reluctance to post the full article

My sincere apologies to the Yusedal family if this is how it happened, I cannot believe that there are mindless thugs who would do this. I only wish i was nearby. To show my disaproval if anybody can get their contact details I will pay for the damage caused.

I do, however, stand by what I said about your comrade VP as has been proven.

[paliometoxo]

just imagine if the land was re united what would happen

its our acute sense of PR and propaganda Pyro. Look how good we are...same thing happens to us and VP forgot about it cause we didn't post a thread with a title 4 feet tall saying

INNOCENT GROUP OF GC NUNS AND ONE LEGGED ORPHANS LED BY MOTHER THERESA GET ATTACKED WITH F16'S AND SIDEWINDER MISSILES.

As many have said....this shit happens why exaggerate it? What should happen is us sane people should resist and squeeze out these thugs from society.

P.S BigOz my car is fitted with South African anti-carjack devices....one step and you're flambe..

VP I apologise for the idiot who said they were't even hurt. However PeterC and DT have also apologised for the behaviour of the attackers. I really don't get thoise people at all and wonder what childhood they would have had, to treat another human being with such hate.


Paliometoxo ..... my guess if the land wa reunited there will be a great deal of joy on both sides of the divide. Most working class people will get on with re-building their lives and living on their rightful land. The RoC though needs to announce that TC's who do not wish to return to their villages in the south with good reasons, such as the Tochni people, will be relocated in the current refugee accommodation in Anthoupolis and similar estates, wher they can feel safer. The RoC ought to pressure the US (main reason for the Cyprus problem, Britain as second runner up and the EU for fund to be made available to rebuild Turkish speaking villages in the south, and also Turkish speaking Cypriot propertyin the south as well as some deteriorated and run down refugee property in the north.

Anyway as we know that is not going to happen because Turey and the Turkish Cypriot regime have openely claimed that there are two states in Cyprus and they will not let go of the north, as they prefer to live with economic embargo from the international community and then blame the RoC for their situation which they do not wish to change.

You guys still dont get it do you..the act itself is deplorable but what did 99% of you do? you have made every excuse under the sun to brush the incident under the carpet, this is typical of GC mentality and what we fear in a united Cyprus all our problems will be conveniently brushed under the carpet while any bad acts against GCs will highlighted and analysed to death just so that you can brand us the evil and unruly ones. Pathetic thats all I can say and very reminst of the 1960s when GCs explained away all our fears and problems to a degree that they made themselves believe we were living in holiday camps and having the time of our lives.

The more I think about this story, the more sense it's beginning to make. The fact that this story was buried on page 21, is because it really did not have anything newsworthy. Anytime there's a demonstration, you are going to have demonstrators banging on cars, shop windows, and so on. This Turkish family was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The fact that no body was hurt, was the reason why it never made any meaningful news. As for the police not doing anything, what were they suppose to do, when no one was physically attacked, other than their cars. I have been to few demonstrations in the past in San Francisco, and the only thing the police does, is to monitor the march and make sure the demonstrators stay on the route intended for them. Unless there are serious danger to anyone or property, they just stay at a distance and watch. I got the feeling, there was only one police officer there. Did the officer even see the car license number to determine to be a TC car?. Since the whole event happened very quickly and they were able to speed away, who was the police officer suppose to arrest from the group of 200 demonstrators.? Did the family in fact report the incident to any other police officer later on, to at least get a police report on the damages done to the car.? I'm sure the family were frightened by the whole experience, but no body was hurt.

I apologise for not quoting the report word for word

I want to say few things to VP now. He apologised for not writing everything word for word in what the report said. VP did not forget to tell us anything from the report. What VP did, he added to the report. There is a difference when making the claim, that it was not word for word. What VP did was to add fuel to the fire or cry out "fire" in a crowded theater. VP did the most unthinkable by using the words "beaten up". This is why most people could not believe the story, because it just did not add up, and VP sat there and never corrected it. It is these kinds of intentional and deliberate statements that stir up hatred and mistrust. I have come to know VP very well over time, and this just about fits his MO. VP owes everyone an apology for making false statement, and secondly not coming forward to clear it up, until the evidence was given to us by Iceman. VP's apology for not telling the story word for word is meaningless, because he did not delete anything from the story, he just added to it to make it a story. Sounds like he has been taking lessons from Fanos. VP did not make a mistake, he made a false report.

Lets see if VP does the correct thing and apologise to everyone on this board for making a false statement.

Had you not added salt to the incident you would've been able to post the link and nobody would've doubted and instead you probably would've had a "win" with a few GC's apologizing for it but no… your eagerness to make us look bad backfired and look at you now!
