Pyro,

It kind of reminded me of all the comments being passed around when we attacked Iraq in 1990 Gulf War to get them out of Kuwait



Whose "we", was there any TC's or GCs in that attack?


as to why we were helping Sheikh Jabr al-Sabah, the Emir of Kuwait who had 76 wives (I had lost count actually, but it was around that number) with comments like "76 wives, which one could he possibly love". :lol:


You sound somewhat jealous kikapu, is it the 76 wives he's got or the money to afford them all?

Neshe Yashin

Many people asked me, why as a poet, I have decided to become a candidate for the parliament, especially for a small party knowing that I do not have a chance to win. My answer to this question was that my candidacy was mainly a challenge for the rising nationalism and by inviting Greek Cypriots to vote for a Turkish Cypriot I was doing this. Although I was very disappointed with the result of the elections which made United Democrats (EDI) lose its single representation in the parliament, I still felt a sense of personal victory. I was proud of the 1,423 persons who voted for me and made me top the list and want to thank each of them. In general I have to say that I have received a lot of love and respect from the voters, even from voters of other parties who shared with me their regret for not voting for me because of their attachment to a certain party. The fact that I was not invited to any local TV except the evening “BIZ” programme on CyBC, which was cancelled later and the interview put on to another programme in the morning, was also saddening. I was providing them an opportunity of a practice of co-existence in case one day they were willing to share the same political spectrum with the Turkish Cypriots. The International media, the media in the north of Cyprus, in Turkey and in Greece were more interested in my candidacy. I was joking that I was doing the campaign in the wrong places. It was an important experience for me in general and my definition of “failure” and “victory” is quite different. I think both EDI and me, we were victorious by courage.


Well done Neshe, you proved what we have been saying all along that in a unified "RoC" TCs have no chance of getting any GC votes and be allowed
into a GC "government" in a GC ruled country.

Thank you.

"We" as in, we in the West and the East who put together an Army of 500,000 to kick Saddam out of Kuwait.

As for the jealousy thing, the answer is NO, because the guy is now DEAD. :wink: :wink:

Let that be a lesson to those who want to play the role of a "stud" with 76 Virgins. :lol:

Of course you have idiots who are dying in advance to have the chance to get to 72 Virgins. :lol:

It is not right that a GC would not be allowed to run. Is this the case? Have they tried? and been refused? Are you refering to GCs resident in the North? Maybe our friend Halil might be able to shed some light on the matter from his vast resources.


İn TRNC who ever has got a TRNC citizenship can vote or elected . İf Greek Cypriots lives at trnc has a identification card they elected or vote. Maronite's at TRNC elects they are own Muhtar . But in ROC , according to Cyprus constitution Turks can elect , turkish cypriots, Greeks can elect greek cypriots .

Again I ask you if there were any TCs or GCs within that coalition ary that attacked Iraq in 1990? If not, how can you claim "we"?

And what about this time, is there any TCs or GCs or GCs who attacked Iraq?

Is it "we" or is it "them"?

As for the jealousy thing, the answer is NO, because the guy is now DEAD. :wink: :wink:

Bet you he died happy though and not lonely.

How old was he when he died BTW? Young or old?

Of course you have idiots who are dying in advance to have the chance to get to 72 Virgins. :lol:


And of course we have those idiots like you who have died a long time ago
and are walking around like a zombie without a clue who they are and where they belong. :roll:
