Michalis
Kasoulides has the abilities to guide the country forward. We need to leave the past behind and leave the politician of the past behind to move forward. Christofias and his communist ideology can not be trusted. he used to be against Europe , EUro, and is still againsty Nato.
Kasoulides will not sell anyone not the GCs and not the TCs but will unite both . He is not a far right supporter and certainly not a Nationalist. he represents the young generation and he will do everything possible to unite the country and the people.
Oh comon Michalis, I believe that you are kidding yourself my friend. Of course a party and a president is what their constituents make them. I am sorry but when I see pictures of party supporters parading the Greek flag in Cyprus an where the blue and white oversdows the RoC flag, I have reason for concern.
To put that in perspective my mother's brother was 18 years of age and was killed by the Turks in 74.
Blue and white flag to me represents strong links to Greece and what some amy refer to as Greek Cyprus. Enosis & EOKA B was the beginning of the end for our Island nation. Personally I hold that movement responsible for the destrucction of Cyprus, the oppenning gate for the Turks to invade Cyprus and ultimately the death of a young life in my family.
If Kasoulidis' suporters go on marching with Greek flags and the ethos that comes with that for example "I Kypros einai Elliniki". How exactly is that going to bring unification among our people, if in human nature, we adapted the thought them and us. If the Turkish speaking population reacts with the notion well if they are going to brand the Greek flag and their president allows that we are going to brand the Turkish flag, how is that going to bring about unification.
I was in Cyprus in October / Novemebr of last year and Kasoulidis did not have a clear direction of the Cypro (an issue that concerns me more than the economy, for the reason stated above). His economic views were very entreupaneurial and that is good for the economy but the national issue is also a major concern,
I wish to take a little more time to extend on that because it will give you a better understanding where my coments arise from. and that is I believe that Cyprus is the home of all Cypriots irrespective of their linguistic, ethnic or religious backgrounds, TC & GC & Maronites, Armenians, Jews all have land and property ownership in Limasol Paphos Larnaca Kyrenia Amohostos and everywhere else, and I believe that they all have the right to acces to that and the freedom to move freely within their country use and manipulate their wealth and property any which way they like. Now the TC's have become separatists for various reasons mostly right and justifiable, however this does not give them the right to benefit on the expense of 200,000 of their compatriots any president that compromises the rights of those 200,000 (affected directly) not to mention the 0ther 600, 000 (affected directly and indirectly) people for the benefit of 80,000 separatists is not a leader with vision and fairness.
My concern thought is the allignemtnt of Kasoulids and his party with Greece and the impact this will have on Cyprus.
