the greeks are there, the turks are there. i have known both people, and they are both wonderful races. why do you have to keep bringing up something aht happened in the ottoman empire? you can't change history, so why not embrace it, acknowledge it, and MOVE ON already. it's the only way to the cypriot solution. instead, all i hear about is how this race was there first, no that one was. you both have good points. get over it, get on with it, stop worrying about it.
i love you all, the GC and the TC. i would love nothing more than to see peace, at last, and acceptance.
GG, unfortunately the Cyprus problem has evolved into a myriad of complex technicalities that must be addressed one at a time. With this particular thread I wanted to challenge any TC into proving the “indigenousness” that a few claim to have.
The reason it is important is because these very same people are attempting to pervert historical facts to aid in their partition schemes so we must clear up what I call the BASIC HISTORICAL FACTS ON CYPRUS.
There is another set of basic facts on Cyprus that are contemporary, but nonetheless very important that I’ll write about in another thread.
Regards, GR.
PS: Still waiting for a challenger.
