GR I would have to say that from 1570 till 2007 is a long time and anyone with ancestry that goes that far back as far as am concerned and i tnink as far as Cypriot politicians ought to be concerned are Cypriot.
The stalemate in Cyprus is the fact that we as Cypriots are too thick headed to accept ourselves as Cypriots and hence we have the two main camps Greek and Turkish speaking. If we were foresighted people united under the banner of Cyprus Nation there wouldn't be a need for anything further.
For God's sakes if the people in the US whose whole entire existence as is known today can claim they are American an fight for the American cause then why can Cypriots dothe same.
NO I am not from a minority group in Cyprus and may be am talking garbage, but I am certainly within many minority groups in Australia and it is only me who keeps me from being part of the whole.
