You are right Kikapu, I ve seen the venom and attack against you all over the forum today. Even at the thread concerning humanist's visit.
You are also right in having mentioned your own opinion about the property issue. I believe that was in your solution plan topic, no?
From my experience the TCs can generally fall in 3 groups.
a)The fanatics and partitionists, the all time shouters and screamers, the "Turks " above all, and then maybe a bit of Cypriots, who hide behind the Turkish army and those in power in the occupied, and always use the events of the 60's as the altimate excuse for everything. According to them the Tcs were the innocent ones who were genocided and forced to live in 3% of the land. These people are about 30%. Typical ones are Murataga, VP,Zan,Dayi (on top of all) et al
b)The Tcs who just shake their heads, knowing full well the whole truth, but just stay silent. Among those are the poor TCs those who you you refer to when you say "I know my people". These are about 60%
c)some 7% confused TCs who wander between group a and b. Typical examples T-C, iceman, Deniz. (notice how little most of those people say even in this forum). Perhaps London74, and Bigoz are in this group too
d) Some 3% of the TCs who do dare raise their voice against group a. You and Birkibrisli belong in this group.
The BIGGEST problem I see among TCs is the way they are raised up to keep silent and bend their heads in respect to higher authorities (starting from young age towards their parents and older people). THIS IS WHAT MKES GROUP B. I know this way of being raised up. My own mother (rest in peace) was from a mixed village and she got raised like that. She was always saying the GC children were spoiled compared to the "turkuthkia" (Turkish kids) who were bowing their heads when their parents talked to them
Unfortunately in Cyprus silence is not gold, and following the league without raising your voice is not only translated as weakness, but also makes a person vulnerable to the audacious ones.
I wish there were more TCs from that 60% group in this forum. It is against their very character though to be in here...
