The table has turned...

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

The table has turned...

Postby Viewpoint » Sun Aug 12, 2007 4:40 pm

It was once the TCs who felt threatened by going to beaches populated by GCs where they were made to feel uncomfortale or second class citizens, where they stopped their children from speaking Turkish just in case a GC would find out and treat them badly....Now the table has turned and GCs feel uncomfortable visiting beaches in the north not in the sense that they are threatned by TCs for their safety as we were back then but its that they are now the odd ones out and have to either talk Turkish or English like we would have to do in a united Cyprus. So maybe allowing all Cypriots the choice to whether move south or north would be the best step forward rather than force this uneasiness between the communites.

Don't even like to remember that feeling in the UK VP but I suppose it is an inevitable consequence.

But the table has really turned as GCs not have to deal with a TC administration where the main language is Turkish just our community had to do back in history. Thats why I argue for the right to BBF where people can have the choice to live either north or south and no longer be forced to accept GC or TC administrations against their will.

I remember going to the beach among the hotels with my cousin, in Varosha. It was in the '70's and my cousin asked me to talk in whispers as the GCs didnt like the TCs there. I had put that memory into the deep recesses of my consciousness. Now you have brought it back. Now its a dead /ghost town.

I recall the same while on holiday my uncle would say dont speak Turkish or they will treat us like shit and that we were not allowed on certain beaches. Weird feeling not the dangers are far less but the tables have been turned and the GCs are now tasting just a little of what is was like for us back then and toady have the gaul to deny these cases even took place.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel for a Sunday evening conversation.

You all sound like a pack of Turkish grannies smoking dope.

Do you really get milleage out of this kind of mindless diatribe?

Drip, drip, drip goes the Turkish Propaganda Machine. A little oil may not go amiss.

I can hear the brush as you try to sweep these incidents under the carpet once again. How about acknowledging and apologising for them?
