couldn’t agree with you more, i cant believe cypriots believe that they are greek when their island has not been apart of greece for 800 years! do they think that foreigners didn’t move to cyprus when it was a crusader state? did venice hold on to the island for 100 years and not have a single cypriot italian marriage? do they think that there was not a single cypriot-turkish marriage during the ottoman rule?



my nationality is British, my race is Cypriot and the culture i am a part of is greek, as i can speak greek and apart of the greek orthodox church.


You forgot to mention that you also have a Greek name.

i have been mistaken as greek,


And you were surprised? :?



turkish, irani, Egyptian but mostly Italian actually. you could say i am non of these or you could say i am all of them as i am a Cypriot "cocktail" :)


That's your choice, am I not allowed to choose to identify myself as a Turkish Cypriot if I want to?


you have every right to have the right to choose to call your self turkish cypriot becouse you need to have identity just like many greek cypriots they do the same becouse they need to have identity.

i do not recognise you or anyone else for that matter as turkish cypriot. or a greek cypriot

but i do except all cypriots for speakign two language languages turkish and greek and that is far as it goes with me,

the problem with cypriots is we dont really have identity so we cling to the notion that becouse we speak turkish or greek thats what we are.

Thank you free_cyprus , you have also established a persona on this forum which has impressed me , just bear in mind that there are huge numbers of Cypriots that share our passion of being Cypriots above all else .As you obviously know our famous donkeys are known internationally , along with potatoes bamies , souziuoko , halloumi etc , as Cyprus products , nobody calls a donkey a Greek Cypriot or a Turkish Cypriot Donkey , likewise our famous potatoes are simply called Cyprus potatoes etc etc.
I love halloumi with olives and tomatoes , all Cypriot products !

shhhhhhhhhhh now you have let the cat out of the bag becouse when they finish arguing about who is turkish and sho is greek cypriots they will definatly start on the good produced and ofcource the most famous of them all is the donkey, and im sure they will even give a donkey a ttiles just like they to the radio stations in london what were aactualy founded by cypriots. and what are they called turkish radio and greek radio ,

sooooo soon we will have turkish and greek donkeys

My nationality is British - my race is human! If we all admitted to being part of the same "race" we'd get along a lot better.

My nationality is Cypriot...I am proud to have been born a stone's throw from my dear friend,miltiades...If not by an accident of history I could've been born in miltiades' village and speak Cypriot Greek and be inducted into the Orthodox church. And the same thing could've happened to miltiades and he would've been raised with Cypriot Turkish as mother ton gue and Islam as a faith...But what truly distinguishes us a race of humans is our gene pool which has been proven to be the same...And so are our motherland,our traditions,geography,shared history,folklore,sense of humour,cusine,world view etc...For a brief period,unfortunately,we were brainwashed (well at least some of us were) that we are mortal enemies and cannot possibly cohabit...That monstrous lie is now exposed for what it is...And people like Eric Dayi have to come here and try to make us swollow the poison all over again...I think we can clear our throats and say it altogether....Pisssssssssssss offffffffffffffff!!! You dick-head!!! :) :) :)
