How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

I do not agree with Eric (if he is saying those who leave are same as the ones arrive)
Apart from the similarity in Turkish language we share,i have very little in common with those that come..

Do the Tc's agree with Ericas comment regarding the exodus of TC's and the settling of mainland Turks in northern Cyprus?

This statement cannot actually be attributed to Eric, who appears never to have an original idea in his life. It is the translation of Denktash's famous comment at a time when his feifdom was hemorrhaging its native population as fast as settlers could be brought in from Anatolia:
"Giden de Türk, gelen de Türk"
However, I would also be interested to know how many TCs here agree with Denktash's remark. My personal experience leads me to believe that even the most chauvenistic, partionist TCs detest the settlers from Turkey.

Halil
What you say has nothing to do with the original question...
DO YOU REGARD YOURSELF SAME AS THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN IMPORTED?

"not lately" iceman? Am I to understand that you do not consider yourself to be a Turkish Cypriot any more?

Can you please explain?

Then your personal experience has let you down badly pal because even you must know that I am not the only TC who thinks like I do.
