this is nonsense actually, how can a cypriot who is greek forget his own culture, identity, history, blood so that there can be a fake cypriot nationality compromising greeks and turks in the stupid belief that this will lead to peace...comon wake up......only tolerating and respecting each others identities as greeks and turks will provide a solution......we are cypriots in the same sense as a bosnian croat or serb is a bosnian or a kosovar albanian is a kosovar
and the serbs,kosovans and croats live in peace ...please ...they dont ...
if anything ,..the YUGOSLAV MODEL IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THE FUTURE
ENCLAVS OF DIFFERENT CULTURES ....LIVING ON THE SAME LAND MASS BUT AGREEING TO DISAGREE.
This dream you all have ...you all need to be realistic ....it is not just you ...(can i also point out that most of the forum members dont live in cyprus ...you either live in the UK,US.AUSTRAILIA ) THINGS IN CYPRUS ARE NOT EASY ...
we live a simple live but the cultures do not really mix .....please all start living in the real world ...
the TURKS CYPS AND GREEK CYPS still hold anomisity both in the young and old ... so unless some of you peace flag wavers come over to live here please slow down this " o but we must live in peace and everything will go back to normal" normalism ,...
there is no period of peace between the cultures for the last 100 years
mainy claim on this forum ,The british only turned the two on each other .... sorry there are records of ethnic clashes since the independence of Greece int he 1800-1920s and the cultures do not co exist peacfully .
Many a Turkish cypriot ,who i speak to ...come over to the south to work ...and complain of £££ exploitation by the Greeks for cheap labour ...and be spoken down to all day long ...some thing i have witnessed too
the truth is we are decades away from a solution ....
