Ofcourse I choose the Turks, specially after reading GCs views on us and how we supposedly caused everything and all they did was fight for their "liberation" Rolling Eyes ....I find some GCs views scary and even if you were 100% right I would STILL prefer partition because I don't want to live with people where the majority share these views.
No what you seem to have a problem accepting is the version of events of history which goes against the simplified propaganda continually pushed by Turkey. Greek Cypriots were fighting for their liberation in the 1950's until the conditional 'independance' forced on by their imperial rulers Great Britain. Read history, the first innocent deaths between the two communities were commited by Turkish Cypriots on Greek Cypriots in Gunyeli in 1958. The only Turkish Cypriots killed by Greek Cypriots before then were those that fought on the side of the British Empire who would harrass Greek Cypriots or in some cases cause their execution by arresting them. No Greek Cypriot with common sense says that Turkish Cypriots caused everything but it seems you want to hold them from their human rights and use lies to do so. In this case, of course you are going to get Greek Cypriots who get 'pissed' by this. Its common sense. You would prefer to go with the ridiculous version of events that Greek Cypriots supposedly were slaughtering Turkish Cypriots for no reason and the Turkish army came in to save the Turkish Cypriots AND Greek Cypriots lol.
And OFCOURSE I am Turkish first...and proud! Very Happy
Just like 90% of GCs are GREEK first! You represent GREEKS, which is why the Greek flag flies all over the south and why you even sing their national anthem...is that a problem for most GCs..NO! Do they even think "why are we singing Greeces national anthem?" NO. Because they are Greeks first!
We are ethnically Greek but our culture is distinct from that of mainland Greece. Most Greek Cypriots accept they are Greek ethnically but want to preserve their Cypriot culture and heritage on the island. Most Turkish Cypriots would prefer to carry on erradicating the Cypriot heritage in the north and keep it as an extention of Turkey. There is a difference. For example, you never see anything to do with the Republic of Cyprus government being represent with the flag of Greece. Yet the Turkish Cypriot administration in the north, while harping on how they supposedly want independence, is represented with both the 'TRNC' flag and the flag of Turkey. They even have symbols and pictures of Ataturk everywhre...what did he have to do with Cyprus? As far as i know, i dont think he ever set foot on Cyprus did he???
Can Turkish Cypriots even be bothered to look at examples of hardships that have arrisen in other countries after British imperialism which are of similar nature to Cyprus? Can you even be bothered to ask why it seems Turkey has so many enemy neighbours? No. Like you, they like toeing the Turkish propaganda line and keeping ignorant and extremely nationalistic because it suits them. You would prefer to keep what doesnt belong to you and keep people from their human rights in their own home because you dont have the brain capacity or moral stature to question the facism from Turkey. The Greek flag represents the ethnicities of those that feel one with the people from the Greek mainland. Do you HONESTLY think that most of the Greek Cypriot people still want union with the Greek state?? Do you have the brain capacity to lump the Greek Cypriot community with EOKA B and the Greek junta coup?? Or is it convenient for you to lie and say that Greek Cypriots wanted union with Greece in 1974.
Are you intelligent T_C? Do you have the bottle to read up on the history at that time and find out what the CIA was doing then or Henry Kissinger?? Do you think the Greek Cypriot people supported EOKA B at that time??
The differences between then and now is that the people of Greece did not support the Greek junta government and overthrew it and condemn their actions. While Turkish people, including Turkish 'Cypriots' blindly support anything done by the Turkish government and military without questioning their actions.
....I find some GCs views scary and even if you were 100% right I would STILL prefer partition because I don't want to live with people where the majority share these views.
