The title reads "One in fifteen GC high school students now studying Turkish"
So far the TC reaction to this thread has been to see through this machiavellian tactic these Greek Cypriot kids have done and call it "an attempt to take away the rightful jobs from the TC's in the ROC."
Please go through this for a second and examine the hellish sewers of paranoia that these forum members have finaly stooped to.
Oh and Zan managed to throw in the words Oppression, rape and murder.
Imagine if the title read "1 in 15 GC toddlers prefer Turkish nursery rhymes to Greek ones." WOuld you also accusse the toddlers of prefering this so that they can some day join the Navy Seals, sneak into a Turkish Generals bedroom, use THE SAME NURSERY RHYME to lull him to sleep and then assassinate him?
The correct response to this post would have been
: Good for them, they don't deny the fact that in this region Turkey is a very big player and whether you want a govt job or a private sector job Turkish will be very beneficial to them. As a side effect it will also bring the communities closer as there now will be a new generation of GC's who can communicate with the TC's in their own language.
But off course, instead we have Zan spitting about "oppression, rape and murder" to people who have are only 30 years away from the last time Turkey committed those exact crimes.
Get a grip.
That was not my reaction...I just agreed with Kafenes that the reason GC kids are learning Turkish is because it gives them an advantage in government job applications..
