DT,Turkish will be an official language of the reunited Federal Republic of Cyprus along with both Greek & English.That is what sets Cyprus apart from both Greece & Turkey.

The problem with that scenario is that it would likely be what the Turkish language currently is south of the Green Line: official only on paper, but practically ignored otherwise...

hmm..

Would it not be difficult to incorporate turkish into.. everything ?

Don't take this as cynical or anythin' ..

I would love to see Cyprus united.. but after such a length of time.. it saddens me to think how it could possibly be done

Regardless, in the spirit of reconciliation, the National Anthem of Cyprus need to reflect the flag: in other words neutral. All that the Greek National Anthem is doing is empathising which ethnic group is calling the shots.

I have to agree with this comment. Cyprus' claims to embrace independence instead of Enosis is being made a mockery because of the use of the Greek National Anthem. The anthem itself is a very moving piece (though I don't think I would like to sing all 168 verses), but it really does not have a place in any country other than Greece.

I know I keep saying t but it seems that some on this forum have thick heads so here goes....(I don't mean you utu, it is just your post that works)


This does not stop at the national anthem.....

Dean,we've got the idiots over here who are now demanding that all signs be bilingually inscribed in English & Maori,yet Maori isn't a commonly spoken language.Bilingual signs have now been put up in all the hospitals.It is just a way of keeping the Maori Nationalist subhumans happy.
