Ok, then Phoenix, I will take you up on that. Can you please answer this. Its a crossword question. Whats a case in which you store needles. A four letter word. It is not a trick question. Girly it may be, but I can not finish yesterdays crossword without it. Four letter word, second letter might be 'T'. You answer will be appreciated.

At the moment we have in common currency, including in this Forum, the following descriptions or portrayals of Turkish Cypriots :
On the one hand,
- traitors to the RoC
- separatists
- living off stolen land
- citizens of an illegal state
- corrupt and corruptable
- cowards
- not real Cypriots, but closet Turks
- etc
On the other hand,
- lazy
- financially & economically dependent on Turkey
- militarily dependent on Turkey
- Cypriot baby to the Turkish motherland
- unable to defend themselves from GC or G attacks
- etc
In sum, Turkish Cypriots are described as traitors and/or foreign dependents.
If Turkish Cypriots make efforts to build links with the south, work in the south, or apply for RoC passports, etc, they're routinely accused of taking what they don't deserve or have no right to. If Turkish Cypriots build links with Turkey, work in or for Turkish businesses, or engage with the wider world through Turkish passport holding then they're routinely accused of selling out Cyprus.
Similarly, if Turkish Cypriots make overtures to the south which work they are routinely slammed down by Turkey, as if they were 'ungrateful wretches'. If Turkish Cypriots make overtures to the south which don't work or are stymied then this taken as proof positive that TCs are slave to Turkish interests.
So, indeed, what can Turkish Cypriots do for Cyprus that will not be interpreted as proof of treachery and/or proof of dependency ?
