Explanation of the need to change to the usage of surnames in the KKTC instead of the fathers first name as the "family name".

Example:

Father: Mehmet Hasan.

Mother: Ayten Mehmet:

Kids (what ever) Mehmet.

SO:

Father = Mr. Hasan

Mother = Mrs. Mehmet.

Kids = Mr. or Miss Mehmet.

Father has different surname to the rest of his family.

With the old system, unless you know the names of all your ancestors the chances of finding your family history is impossible.

Why is it so hard to understand this?


TCs "Turkeyfied"? Please, change the record for Gods sake, you are getting boring with this Greekified propaganda! We are Turks hence Turkish Cypriots.

Question: Did you notice the "Turkish" before the Cypriot?


Or did you expect us to be "Greekified" by getting "Cypriot" surnames like PapadopulousOglu or something similar?

Hang on a minute, now I know what Papadope meant when he suggested "osmosis".


Eric Dayipulous? Nah, don't like the sound of that.

Is Eric a Turkish name?

Do you know what a "nickname" is pyro?

Is "Pyrpolizer" a Greek name?

Speaking of Cypriot names…

As part of the National Assimilation Program of Cyprus could the following people please start using their corresponding EU names from the list below…

Murataga = Mouras Mouratoglou

Birkibrisly = Bironas Kiprios

Caragioz = Leventis Karagiozis

Kikapou = Kikis Kapoutos

VP = Vlahis Pellopoulos

Iceman = Pagos Mannopoulos

BigOz = Megas Australopithikopoulos

Denizaksulu = Denizis Aksuristos

Halil = Harris Hallalis

Zan = Zenios Zanettos

Bironas Kiprios...Hmmmmmmmmmmm

It has a nice ring to it ...
Better than Bir KakaTeCeli...

If you translated "Kaka" into Greek it'd suit you right down to the ground Bir.

You plum. I thought you'd know.

maybe you are familiar with this spelling: erik=plum

I'm sure he is very familiar with that one.

The most common Cypriot name-surname combinations is Haralambos Haralambous, Ioannis Ioannou, Yiorgos Yeorgiou and similar.

You should make it clear that the names you mentioned above are Greek Cypriot names Sotos, NOT Turkish Cypriot names.

Thank you Kikapu and Theodore for the info re the names.

Of all the stuff I have read that has happened in northern Cyprus since 1974 this is the saddest. Putting the whole deal together, from my outsider point of view (because I do no live in Cyprus and do not go there often) the picture looks like this- first you isolate the people, then you move them to a part of the island where they are supposed to live in freedom, you change place names, you bring in the settlers that outnumber them, and on top of it all you force them to change their names.

Two first names is what most of us in the south have too but no one ever commented on this. Well, excepting comedians from the mainland who love to make fun of names like Mamas Mama, or Kikkos Kikkou, in comedy shows. Forced name changes is what Bulgaria did to ethnic Turks back in the 70s and Turkey kicked up a fuss. Now I learn that Turkey is doing the exact same thing to Turks in Cyprus.

Definitely there is a peculiar version of freedom that mainland Turks promote in Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriots are either paragons of patience or apathy. I wonder which of the two applies.

Ahmet, Mehmet, Ismail, Kemal and all other first names we use in the KKTC are also Turkish, are you now trying to say that we are being forced to use Turkish first names also?

Maybe using Russian surnames is a peculiar version of freedom that Russians are promoting in Russia, or the Greeks in South Greek Cyprus or in Greece, or the English in England or anywhere else in the world?

So what!!!!! So what if it is the Turkification of the TRNC/KKTC. We belong to the island and as long as there is no settlement we will call ourselves and the part of our island what ever the hell we like. We will not sit around and wait for your siege to work. It ain't gonna happen. Every way we can find to get around that siege we will do. I really don't understand how you and Kiks can just sit there and wish the worse for your people just so you can be proved right.

You failed to understand a lot of things it seems,Zan...

And the most frustrating thing for me is this: you do not understand that I take the total Turkification of the TCs to be the worse thing that can happen to them...We did not go through all that we did as TCs,and survived on our own,between 1964 and 74,to turn around and be swollowed up whole by our "saviours"...The Turkish sea is too big for us to survive in...But the Cypriot sea is just the right size.And it is also where we belong...As a large minority we can hold our own,keep our identity,and survive and prosper as Cypriots...But you are intend on jumping over the cliff into the big Turkish ocean where you will never be seen again...Don't expect me to jump after you lot...

Bir, your first name is Turkish as is your surname, you also use a Turkish screen name and you complain about being "Turkified"?

Give it up Bir, you are p*****g against the wind and there is no way it's not going to come back and hit you right in the face.

As long as he doesn't think I am talking Vikings Only joking.

[Get Real!]

Me too Murataga, I am also one amongst thousands of TCs who lost land and rights to criminals who tried to annihilate us just for being TCs.

The only thing gone missing is most of your brain cells… as you so often demonstrate with your CyProb “knowledge” on ATCA…

Btw, here's your new name "Riccos Kavli"... lucky boy!

I know enough to make you look the fool you are and enough to force you to do a runner like the coward that you are any time of the day as I have proven may times.

Btw, here's your new name "Riccos Kavli"... lucky boy!

That's ok, I'll just call you "essekogluessek". Hope you don't mind the Turkish name.

One day you will grow and see your own childish stupidity maybe then you'll Get Real.

BTW, how many more times are you going to change your name you coward?
