How many posters were around when it became nasty in Cyprus.Not the 74 invasion but the ten years proceeding.Or is your knowledge based on books,the media or hearsay ?

Or do you make it up as you go along ?

Purdey,

May I suggest you tell us everything that you have experienced during those times from '63 to '74, so that we can all get the feel of what you went through, rather than just telling us that you know all the nasty things that happened during those times. Some of us have written our experiences, so please, do the same. You do not need to write it all in one go. Just start in 1963 and finish in 1974 and take however much time you need to write it. Give it to us one page at a time if you like...thanks.

Happy writings.

Purdey,

We are still waiting to read your accounts in Cyprus between 1963-1974.!!

You are not having a "writers fright" by any chance.???

KİKAPU ,
What you wanna get by questioning the people. Talk about recent incidences that public is engage.

What do you think about Tennis player mate. ?

What do you think KARAMANLİS visit to Turkey and the way Greek
Fanatics actions against his visit ?

Good morning Halil,
You too

I'm not questioning anyone Halil. Purdey made the claim he knows first hand what happened between 1963-1974 because he was in Cyprus and knows all the nasty things that went on, so I would like to read his account of events, that's all.


Don't you want to read Purdey's report Halil.??

The tennis player ( Marcos) has the right to say what ever he wants, as an individual, specially in a "private gathering". His statement represents himself and not anyone else's, although just by saying "Turks out of Cyprus" is no different than all the UN resolutions against Turkey. If TC's claim to be Turks and no longer TC's, then I can see why some TC's may have gotten upset. Since you raised the question Halil, do you consider yourself a Turk or a TC.?? I'm not upset by what Marcos said, because I consider myself a Cypriot as well as Turkish Cypriot, but not a TURK. If he said "Turkish Cypriots out of Cyprus", then I too would have kicked his butt.
İ am not with you with this Kikapu,
İt is only Racism
Many time in this forum I expressed I AM TURKİSH CYPRİOT. He doesn't mean in that way KİKAPU. Other wise he will not get this much reactions from TURKİSH CYPRİOTS PUBLİC.
Another thing Kikapu ,
I am saying again and again . It is not the only Turkish Army in Cyprus. Your loved ROC has got plans to bring FRENCH ARMY in to Cyprus .Where is the your True Cypriot blood now.Why don't you protest them as well. Another imperialist power is going to come Cyprus.
Last time I looked, Freedom of Speech is still practiced in most part of the civilized world, so what's all the excitement about.??
I don't get excited about freedom of speeches Kikapu.If the freedom of speeches has got rascism in it.You should be against it as well.
It's about time the "Guarantor Powers" met. I like the idea of Karamanlis going to Turkey, as long as they are not brewing any ideas on how to screw the Cypriots again.!! I guess since Brown is not there, they can't do too much damage on their own!!

As for the Fanatics Halil, well, you know how I feel about Fanatics. I have to deal with them all the time here on the forum.

you should be against this fanativ as well Kikapu. Did you ever heard from for swearing to GREEK NATİON.

This guy only mixing sport and politics. Congralations for his achivments at sport but i don't support his rascist actions. İn what ever ideas it's carries.

In a word, I'll say, screw the fanatics. They are always the losers in the history of mankind. They do their worse and then get their butts kicked by True Democracy.
With this i am 100% with you.

Have a nice day Halil. You too.......

[purdey]

Thank you,
small numbers though,and what is it actually saying ?

[Kikapu]

Kirpau.It is all still there.I am sure you are aware of what was regarded as the Turkish area of Limassol.I am also sure you are aware of the people who left or were taken away from that area.I am sure you are also aware that there were three Englsh families living in that area.I am sure you are aware there was door to door fighting in and around that area.I am sure that you are aware that the British curfew was broken on many occassions and the British turned a blind eye to what went on.
Maybe my choice of words were not correct when asking the question,I appologise if that has upset you.
I have always tried to be impartial on this subject,never apportioning blame,but growing up in Cyprus has given me some insight.

I'm not upset Purdey. I want to hear your side of your "Nasty Stories", that's all.

I have my own "Nasty Stories" from Kücük Kaymakli in Nicosia during the start of the fighting in 1963.

My recollection of Cyprus in those days cannot be compared to yours.I saw horrible things but there is no comparison.
I remember my friends well,Greek Cypriots as well as Turkish Cypriots.I remember the sharing of clothes when we grew out of them,playing marbles having little money and buying that horrible chewing gum that was around at the time.I cannot say we lived in fear but my father always insisted we never left the street unless we had a adult with us.We did not always obey him and sometimes ended running home when the gunfire started.
I am sad to hear you have never returned to Cyprus,my family still live there and I go when work allows.Maybe one day you will return,and we can talk about the marbles we used to play with,I still have a few left.

He only experienced 63% of the island the GC south Cyprus, he had no contact with the people he claims to be his community the Tc's and still feels he knows everything better than we do the people who live in the TRNC.

[Kikapu]

Halil,

I know you are a TC my friend. My question was, do you consider yourself to be a Turk or a TC. This is where people are confusing themselves. Anything against the Turkey, and the TC's take it personally.

I'm one of those who never support Racism Halil, at any level, but telling "Turks go Home" is not racism, it is the reality. Just like when the Americans are told "Yankee go Home". Many parts of the world where one's land is occupied, you will get this reaction. The US congress made the same ruling recently, so are you saying they too are Racist or the UN for that matter. As I said, if he said "TC's get out of Cyprus" I would agree with you and call him a Racist, even though it was said in a private gathering.

That is very true Halil, even though people also behave like animals sometimes.

Cyprus is Cyprus. When I go to other countries for a visit, I do not get to see 100% of those countries either, so what's your point. Oh, I know, you don't have a point, just want to have an argument.

Sorry, I don't have time for arguments today. Ask me again tomorrow.

please Kikapu ,
don't play with the words .When you play with the words it is RACİSM.

What is the differences between TURKİSH and TURK.İ will not argue with you from where Turkish Cypriots are Created.
İt is not the question.
Many time i said don't talk what you heard from others or getting something from others . Live and learn. İ can read many stories here .Truth is what İ know and what i see it Kikapu. Bloody hell more than 50 years now i am living in this İsland.
As long as ww don't blame this kind of the actions we can have worst days. What we do here . İf they do same things in Here or in other places about any race my reaction is same .
American sample is not the correct one .Turkish Cypriots are equal owner of this island like Greeks mate.
