Are you really proud of the reasons why the Ottoman Empire lasted for quite so long?

Most ethical people would be ashamed to be associated with their atrocities and how they plunged Europe into the Dark Ages.

Well i hate to say this, but i'm with big oz on the EU issue.

Its only a matter of time.


When the UK chose to join the common market, that was exactly what it was and should have been. The EU is taking the Piss, can't eat this, can't drink that, do this, do that....... sounds almost like a dictatorship than a free europe.

Good post Ozzy boy.

May 2004 Cyprus joined the European Union and Cypriots on both sides of the fence celebrated.

BUT, since that time there has not been one expression of congratulations from the Turkish Cypriot side, nor any act of remembrance for the Cypriot diplomat who worked day and night for ten years to put is into the European Union- the late Yannos Kranidiotis.

Not a thank you, no one ever expected that, just a well done. And not one minor street or village square in the north was named after him, he was after all a Cypriot. No sir, the Turkish Cypriot side is not prone to acts of congratulation and less so to acts of gratitude no matter how well deserved they may be. The whole thing was treated as an assumed right by them.

One can review the history of the island since 1878 and can see similar acts of ingratitude. Since the green line opened thousands of TCs come over to the south to work, they get full pension benefits, access to social welfare but still, not a word of appreciation. These are the people we are supposedly going into partnership with in a federal state!

Are we kidding ourselves?

Thank you for going into the Eu without us and performing an illegal act under the auspices of a de facto government.

Thank you for letting us work to put bread on the table after years of holding us under siege and then only when there was pressure put on you to do so.

As far as benefits go you are now in the EU and therefore they are EU benefits and not from you.

A special thanks goes to the world press that arrived in Cyprus in 1963, after Makarios and his henchmen tried to cut out all the reports coming out of Cyprus so that he could carry on killing us. Without the world press we would not be here to thank you. Thank you!!!

Where does that word even appear in the quote?

Your mordant attempts are completely out of context.

But what do the refractory Turks know
