But whAt's wrong with the year 2007...I meant "long time enough"
I come from a country which went through world wars, nacism, communism..., divisions, unifications...but we discussed things.More sensible things people discussed after years and years later.
Does it mean this problem is still so delicate that young people do not speak about it now ?
kokorosie,
Typically I am not fussed where each person is from. I respect everybody as individuals, if somebody whether being Turkish, Greek, Armenian, asks for help in this forum and I have sufficient knowledge to help him/her i will try my best to do so. I also find that the TC help me if I ask for help. Not all GC are good and neither are all TC, there are good and bad people everywhere. It all depends how you interpret what is good and what is not.
As for Cyprus's problem; I see it pointless and wasteful of my time to get into politics. Now it is near election time in Cyprus, all the highways and roads have political posters with giant faces of the politicians. Each politician selling some b*llcrap about what his going to do. Well I got better things to do then listen to their nonsense.
I understand that Cyprus is split, but there is little I can do. I respect TC similar to respecting all humans. It's not a delicate subject, it's a boring one! Politicians who have been getting paid for decades have not managed to solve it. If the TC where to join mainland Cyprus they would come back as a minority, I am not quite sure how they would feel about that.
A lot of the refugees went to the UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and Germany to live. So many of the people who were affected now have two homelands.
It's not 1974 anymore, Cyprus has a completely different set of problems now that we need to tackle.
Hope this helps you understand.
