humanist you are not being to clear, are you upset that we side with Turkey? or are you saying you are a genuine individual, to which I agree but unfortuntely your are a very small minority with no real impact. The Phoenixs, Boomers, Piratis and Kifeas types are the majority, who do not view us the same as you do. Do you realize this or are you still intent on remaining in your own little utopia, head buried in the sand?
If you were a TC which would you choose? 1963 to 1974 or 1974 to 2007? please be honest and try to understand why we choose Turkey every time, the past 3 years has reconfirmed this commitment and unless minsets change in the GC state the chasm will get wider until it is unbridgeable.
VP yes I am that you are choosing Turkey over Cyprus. I don't see it as patriotic and lacks committment to the land that I call home.
Yes I am genuine abut wanting peace on the Island and yes I want the opportunity to live among Turkish speaking Cypriots and learn not only the language but the traditions and customs also. If I am burrying my head in the sand with my utopia well thats what I am doing, because if I can live 3 doors down from a Turk now Ican do so in my own country with my compatriot.
VP if I were a TC (its really a hypothetical) but no I wouldn't choose the violence of 1963 to 1974 and probably the discrimination or the poverty that goes with that.
1974 to 2007 no I wouldn't choose that because from 74 till 2004 no I wouldn't choose the imprisonment of living under a dictator, whose only aim was to control and manipulate the massess because he could. With the power of Turkey behind him because she too is exploiting the masses under pretence. And this is the case because if Turkey was serious about the AP and a solution to the Cypro. Turkey would have recomended giving up any hold over Cyprus and recomended an independent nation to take the place of guarantor. Not that I personally agree with a guarantor because if we cannot work it out then we may as well be living separately. Please don't come back and say we can not live together because as you know lots and lots of TC's cross the line everyday and on most part there are no problems.
I do agree with you that the gap is getting wider and both Talat and Papadopoulos are equally responsible for that.
I think if you actually stop for a moment you will find that everyone on your hit list Phoenix, Boomers, Kifeas and Piratis all want one thing and that is a unification of our country. No one has ever said no to Unification and none of them advocate for nothing else than all Cypriots living in peace and unity. Sure they have gone off the handle a few times as i have and you have but the overal essense of their debate is for a unified Cyprus and like them I hate Turkey and its so called intervention and interests in Cyprus.
