""""On the other hand, the placing of flyers with ‘Cyprus is Greek’ written on them on the windscreens of cars with Turkish Cypriot number plates is only repaying an act of goodwill with a mean gesture.
According to the information our newspaper has received, there has been an alarming increase in the number of attacks against Turkish Cypriots at the Orphanides Shopping Centre over the past two weeks. We await the announcement by the Minister of Interior of the outcome of a police report regarding an incident in which two Greek Cypriots stopped a Turkish Cypriot car before smashing its windows with iron bars. Again in the same area, information is awaited as to whether a Greek Cypriot youth was arrested, having stopped a Turkish Cypriot woman’s car to cover its windscreen with a Greek flag. A great number of cars in Carrefour’s car park have been sprayed with paint. Someone has to stand up and give us some answers about these incidents. ""
I condemn such behaviour and sincerely hope that the authorities do what they preach. I would personally intervene if such acts were to occur in my presence. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION IN ACTING IN A MANNER LIKELY TO INFLAME FEELINGS AND INCITE VIOLENCE.
One wrong does not justify another. I will never justify or excuse in any way such behavior.
Thanks miltiades, but just judge what other Gcs have posted, the mocking and joking is a prime example of why we will not trust GCs because in a united Cyprus thats how GCs woudl deal with these problems just make a joke out of them.
VP , you perfectly well know where I stand .The minority of irresponsible G/Cs are NOR representative of the people at large any more thanyou are representative of the T/C people. As far as I'm concerned a T/C in Orphanides or any other part of Cyprus is to me a Cypriot compatriot.
Everything being well I should be in Cyprus this coming Friday , I shall keep an eye out . I will be visiting the Cancer Centre on Tuesday the 4th , I hope Halil is around , but can always get a cab. As for that scoundrel Fanos I hope , for his sake , he does the decent thing as I intend to pursue the matter with the local police .
