Turkish Cypriots have become a minority in their own country who really cares.

Sophia is a Turkish name: as in Ayia Sophia, an ancient mosque.

[humanist]

Ayia Sophia was a place for worhsip for the Christians who lived in that part of Greece a the time. The barbarian Turks invaded as per usual and turned it into a mosque nothing Turkish about the name.

humanist, i'm surprised, so insensitive, and no humour. the greek orthodox people built it but not having the wherewithall to keep it, the Ottomans salvaged it as a venue for prayer to God. everyone is welcome, Turks have nothing to hide, when it was made a mosque, it was not a church, just an empty and abandoned building.

[humanist]

yeah right .... i see Canada breeds the Turks very well

Humanist is just moody because he is just waking up to the fact that not everyone in Cyprus is the way he hoped them to be and he now wants partition too, the problem is that we have thought about it 30 years before him

Never the less, i much prefer the old optimistic Humanist, its a shame that he is giving up so quickly...

[humanist]

well get on with it, go for it. the less I have to deal with people like you the better for me. like I said am willing to reside to the fact that my ancestral home has been stole by the Turks and you can keep it if I can keep you out of my life.

Humanist, nobody wants to take away your ancestral home. Nobody wants any harm to come to you or any other GC. You are welcome to claim your home back, there is a commission set up for this purpose.

What happened to you? what made you do a 360 degree turn and become the pessimist that you are.

You say people on the forum has abused you, they have been rude and made fun of you, show me a post that would backup your claim.

[shahmaran]

Ummm I'm sorry you think like that Humanist, but realistically speaking we have been out of your face for the past 30 odd years, its a shame things are the way they are but you can also see that there are many people on the other side also who are just like Phoenix and Piratis and Kifeas who do not, never did and never will want us here, but this is our country too so what do we do?

As usual, a few rotten eggs ruin it for the rest of us

But cheer up brother, you shouldn't be so emotional towards cyber personas, you don't even know me

again viewpoint you willingly promote an example which presents a discredited and much unloved person as a typical Cypriot, of Greek origin. Always the same example, as well, I might add. I think time in your mind has stopped. No one is more important to you than this man and his ilk. You may be ill with a kind of depression, or you are a person just as unable as Sampson to confront your own fears. Living in denial is not healthy, look at the result in his life. Talking to people kindly, with this thinking in the back of your mind makes you no different to him, the same kind of madmen like him, that pollute all parts of the earth to this day.

I believe in you. You have the stomach to be discussing this Problem almost every day. You just have to believe in yourself. One day, beyond the simple answers we have constructed for ourselves today, change will be embraced, there will exist another answer completely different, the one that all can see as better, and it will resolve to give respect for one another a place in all our hearts, where we can work in cooperation, what should be natural; rather than in fear, with the promotion of ignorant thought.

As a consequence of dividing this island, none of this island's dwellers will ever be secure. Furthermore, Greece, Turkey, and the other interlocutors will have less security because of their stagnation in a policy where they remain as adversaries. If Turkey does not lead, it will be more difficult for the rest of the world. A mono clonal culture, like in the United States where everyone identifies themselves as American without hesitation, sustains itself because it is inclusive, and it can adapt to changes which are brought on by the distinctiveness, and the diversity of the people themselves, as Individuals, equal, under a Rule of Law. I like to think if Ataturk was alive today, he would have the courage to make everyone in Turkey learn English, and another language of their choosing as well as Turkish. If Ataturk was alive today, probably, Turkey, the Turkish State, would be functional in about 183 languages, and more Turkish would be spoken around the globe. Needless to say, States like the EU and China have some soul searching to do as well, when it comes to Accommodation, beyond wheel chair ramps and workers rights, and Turkey through its own reform must lead the way.


...like i said to you many times before, they don't have blackmen swinging from trees anymore.

In Cyprus, the countervailing powers exist to promote our own Identity. This very rare opportunity, to choose to be a country, and to represent ourselves in the world. It opens the question, not what we can get out of this opportunity for ourselves, rather, what we can give to the rest of Humanity as one people, a member of a larger family, of Man.

...viewpoint, you cannot hide. my hope, that your despair will turn to another alternative which shows that you are better than a dogma and your denial. even if it were true, it is not the truth, and beyond facts there are acts of courage, for what is right, beyond being a Greek or a Turk, but as Human Beings.
