[Get Real!]

Stop showing your lack of knowledge about yourself and your identity and history. I would suggest reading some books.

The only education you seem to have is that force-fed down your throat during your schooling by Greece's constant campaign to undermine the TRUE Cypriot heritage and replace it with their own.

For your info Cypriots had their own alphabet, their own mythology, their own history spanning ten millenniums… longer than anything ever found in Greece.

Wake up to your true heritage Kipreo…

And I second that , O Kipreos ine Kipreos ke Kipreos tha paramini .
My grandad and his grandad before him were Cypriots NOT Kalamarades , Cypriots they were their ancestors too why deny a nation its identity , why refuse to accept that there is and there was a Cypriot on this island for thousands of years. We are not Greek haters , we are proud of the Greek History and Greece's contribution to the world of science and art but Greeks we are not .

you and get real are the 2 most famous neo-cypriots on this forum so as a cypriot saying goes "sto gofo thn porta oso thelis vronta"..you and your ilk would be laughed at in cyprus with your denial of been ellines....its a shame people like you have this chip on your shoulder and are confused about your own identity. Also you bring the great majority of cypriots down...the greek cypriots are not only proud of greece's achievements but we are proud to be part of the hellenic nation...in other words we are proud to be greeks ie. greeks from cyprus....greek cypriots etc....but of course we are also proud to be from cyprus like cretans are proud to be from crete....

i suggest you read "the making of modern Cyprus" by Dr Stavros Penteli.......you might learn something about yourself instead of this nonsense thats been fed into you..

and so mainland greece also had indigeneous populations before the dorians and ionians arrived in greece...does that make them not greeks either....its well known the cypriots today are descendants of achaean and mycenaean greeks who arrived in cyprus...

"The Greek Cypriots trace their origins to the descendants of the Achaean Greeks and later the Mycenaean Greeks who settled on the island during the second half of the second millennium BC" wikipedia

"Greek Cypriots are the ethnic Greek population of Cyprus. They form the island's largest ethnic community, comprising nearly 80 percent of the population" wikipedia

u reject everything in cyprus today that has a turkish or greek stamp on it, im a cypriot i ahve nothing to do with these two nations who have invaded and ruled our cyprus many many times in the past, if we have been invaded and ruled for thousands of years by outsiders how the feck can our blood stay pure, i have suggested before for cypriots to have a dna test done and lets see who is who. maybe someon in this forum should ask our cypriot goverment to do just that give us free dna test and let the results determine the out come not constant bombardment of history books from turkey and greece to tell us who we are feck that i dont need to read those books to come to a logical conclusion looking ta all the facts that we cypriots are like a fecking salad, in another words we have the blood of many nations running through our vains only an ignorant and uneducated person can say they are greek and turkish while they are cypriots

im a cypriot too and like nearly all greek cypriots we are proud to be greeks as well, that is our heritage etc....but i believe you are half greek cypriot half turk cypriot so your comments are understandable..its like a half serb or half croatian denying both because of the past hatred and calling himself/herself a yugoslav....saying you are just a cypriot is like a midlander from england saying he is only a midlander and not english....and this nonsense about blood, every nation has blood from elsewhere..it doesnt mean they are not from that nation they live in....greeks for eg. are basically descended from ancient greece but of course have blood from the peoples since then that have passed through greece...you can say the same for just about every country in europe.

you forgot to note

The Cypriot syllabary or Cypro-Minoan writing is thought to have developed from the Linear A, or possibly the Linear B script of Crete, though its exact origins are not known. It was used from about 800 to 200 BC.

or


The Cypro-Minoan syllabary, also known as CM or Linear C is the Late Bronze Age syllabary used on Minoan Cyprus (in use roughly from the 15th to the 12th centuries BCE; i.e., 1500-1150 BCE). The epigraphical evidence has been classified and arranged by date in four groups:[2]

or


Archaic Cypro-Minoan is closely related to Linear A, the script used in Minoan Crete, and it evolved into the Iron Age Cypriot syllabary from ca. the 11th century BCE (the Greek Dark Ages).


or

The Cypriot syllabary is a syllabic script used in Iron Age Cyprus, from ca. the 11th up to the 4th century BC, when it was replaced by the Greek alphabet. A pioneer of that change was king Evagoras of Salamis. It is descended from the Cypro-Minoan syllabary, in turn a variant or derivative of Linear A.




Cyprus developed in a similar way to Crete...

ie. The Minoan language is a language of ancient Crete. Its relationship to Greek is unknown and it was spoken before the island's civilisation was replaced with that of the mainland

[utu]

It might not be a good idea to make references to Crete as - from what I have read in this and the ATCA forums - that the Crete example is what the T/C's use to justify the status quo.

[pappy_sydney]

there is nothing to justify Turkey's and extremist T/C's partitionist propaganda......they are an alien uninvited people who occupied someone else's land....but nonetheless we greek cypriots want peace and can share the land with the turk cypriots....but the turkish army and settlers need to leave
