Jimmy,

AA does have a point. The GC's worked bloody hard to build Cyprus from virtually nothing. So the reasoning is why should we have to pay again?

Where was the compensation when we were penniless refugees contract cleaning toilets?

This is not intended to 'belittle' the real and undoubted hard work by GC to rebuild their econnomy (or belittle the pain and suffering of GC indivduals) in Cyprus after 74, but considerable amounts of aid from the 'world' did go to South Cyprus following the events of 74 sepcifically to help them rebuild Cyprus after the events of 74. I also understand that this aid may not have helped GC that left cyprus after 74 to rebuild new lives elsewhere. My point is that the post 74 RoC did get (very considerable) amounts of aid - to compensate to some degree for the events of 74.

to compensate to some degree for the events of 74.

I dunno how well that is going to go with some people. may costya friends.

Well if reminding people of facts costs me friends then so be it

Or do you think it is a lie to say the RoC recieved substantial aid from outside Cyprus after 74 and the reason why this aid was given was to help the RoC rebuild after the events of 74?

Jimmy,

Yes they did, no argument there.

AA's post wholly rejects the concept of compensation for property - correction, AA rejects any comprehensive solution that involves the concept of monetary compensation for lost property (unless I got something wrong, in which case he simply puts me in my place and I forever hold my peace). It's not a matter of GCs paying again for anything; presumably, it's a concept by which GCs receive compensation that is equal to the monetary value of their property.

And I'm just saying that this way, with this stance, we are never going to solve it. Because there's never going to be (well, at least in the near future) any proposed solution in which all refugees get to go back.

So, I guess what I'm reacting to, is this 'if-I-don't-get-mine-no-one-gets-anything' attitude.

You tell me, am I getting something wrong? I might just be misinterpreting things here...

So where does such a world view leave one?

To a world full od suspicion and intrigues


As for my spelling you would love to know as much Greek as I know English, particularly when I ve never been to England.

Actually MicAtCyp, it was erolz who wrote the line you quoted... as for your comment about language skills, that was purely in response to your remark about academics... I note with interest that you failed to respond to the other more substantive points

[Bananiot]

Your point about "Phileleftheros", Othellos, is dead right. Yet, this pathetic newspaper has the biggest readership, by far. Perhaps, we have the newspapers we ... deserve.

Have you read Talat's interview in an Athens's daily (or was it weekly?). He said Christofias is a liar and Papadopoulos a fanatic. I think he is spot on.

"Phileleftheros" does it have an online english version or is it totally greek?

Really? A fanatic? Have you read the article in Cyprus Mail on Sunday?

A liar? My word! Such strong language. And you believe EVERY word that Talat says?

[brother]

The day is still to come when there will be honest poloticians, as far as i am concerned they are ALL liars and deceptive little back stabbing judases who put themselves before the people who pay and vote for them to be there to serve our interests.
