The first part was to show how stupid you Greeks and GCs are at laughing
at others for simple spelling mistakes or typos while at the same time making yourselves look stupid by making spelling mistakes yourselves.

The extra "t" in the "historty" was put in on purpose to get a reaction from some idiot, and you are it.

I also knew that you would not respond to the second part of my message
because you realised what a biiiiiiiiig f/up you made when you tried to be clever.

Here it is again Daft Twat.

Care to expand on your wisdom oh not so clever one?

"On the other hand, since we cant claim to be "Cyprus" and have no connections with your laws, we have no reason to do any of the above.
Fair?"

You did not have to do anything more than leaving the names as they were. No one asked for more. And the south did not change place names, though that is not part of the laws which they must obey according to you. It has nothing to do with goodwill and making impressions. It is unthinkable to the Greek mindset to change place names or to turn a Mosque into a churh.

You are a chip off the old cynical block.

Plus why should we use names which are in a language that is hard for us to remember and pronounce? How is that practical?

WOw! That must be one of the most medieval statements I've ever heard on this forum. We have trouble remembering those fancy names Greek names even though thats the name they've had since the founding of these villages 1000's of years ago... SO we've given em some cool plain Turkish names. These villages have now been founded in 1974. They did not exist prior to that.

Shah, would you agree with Paris being re-named to Neu-Berlin if the Germans won the war?

I couldnt care less, but if it changed from KALOPINOUKOPSIDEKLIXI to Yeşilyurt or something then that might actually be OK

I mean i know you guys are horribly nationalistic and severly ethnocentric in general but come on man, have some dignity, other cultures do exist too you know.

Ever studied history Shah? No what history is? History always tends to happen in some place or another. These places usually have names. To call the people objecting to you changing 1000 year old place names into something in your own language "ethnocentric" concerns me even more. You obviously didn't get the point and if you didn't get it then its gotta be the education that you've had in the north.

We can wipe out century old history in one swoop and rename it. Villages that were visited by the Apostles Barnaba's and Paul themselves are now called something else cause some TC couldn't pronounce Greek.

The whole world seems to be getting along with Greek medical terminology but you trip yourselves on some village names and its SWOOSH ....2000 years never happened.

You know what DT i think you might actually be right for once!!

Oh god, we should immediately go back to using Greek words in our addresses, we dont want to upset Apostle Barnaba now do we

You are being deliberately dumb. The GC have no problem writing KAIMAKLI on their addresses, or ZAKAKI. This lame excuse about difficulty and hence the changes in place names is total garbage.

I do not know Turkish, and how the language is structured, but Greek, like Latin,the is a noematic languae which builds meanings in the form of compound words-so the latin words FAMA GUSTA making Famagusta which has a meaning that says a lot about the place. The name of a place, chosen by those that built it, tells you a lot about it and it is unthinkable to change it arbitrarily.

So tell us the new names for Buffavento, Bellapaix, in the new post 74 stalinese dialect. I would like to hear the "improvements" on those latin descriptive names.

On the other hand I have this inner conviction that if a major cruise line that traces the footsteps of Saint Paul were to touch Famagusta port bearing loads of rich American religious tourists the place names derived from saints would be reinstated in a flash. The regime is known for its respect for a fast buck. Then you would have no problem honoring saint Barnabas or any other for that matter.

Yes we call it Mağusa or Magosa where i dont think neither mean anything in Turkish, very meaningful indeed.

These names were not delibaretly changed, its just what happens when people use foreign words for decades, the words are "corroded" down gradually to match the phonetics of the local language. This is only natural and it even happens in peoples own language, it just takes longer. Meaning words also evolve along with us and it is a dynamic matter.

So now we have a name that used to be Greek and is now Turkish, yet it means nothing in neither. Nice one.
