A more acceptable term for what I think you mean, is to call it the "Turkish Occupied Side" ....
I'll let you off for now 'cos you are new :D

Can you expand on this please?

What tensions where you aware of as a teenager? .....(in what was supposed to have been the most lovey-dovey part of our history, which a few TCs are demanding we go back to).



He is talking of the years 1963 or thereabouts and not after 1974. PLEASE NOTE!! :roll: :roll: :roll:


Deniz;
she also knows , the wall in Nicosia was built up between 63 and 64.
Nicosia was divided in two sectors since 1963. İt doesn't suit her . that's why they never likes us when we are talking about 63 .



Halil .... please look above, highlighted in red ... The man was talking about 1960 -1963.

Get your facts right propaganda merchant before you pass judgement on me. :roll:



Phoenix mou. What is causing the confusion here is your use of the word 'Occupied'. Like what you call, 'Occupied Cyprus'. What Halil and I are saying is that it is wrong to call the Turkish sector of Nicosia 'Occupied' with the same meaning as 'Occupied Cyprus. In 1960 = 63 there was no 'occupied areas, just Turkish sectors and greek sectors, which merely indicated where the majority of each community lived. You had Turkish areas in Larnaka and Paphos too. I think you were far too young then, to understand the geography of the island prior to your being napalmed.


No Deniz ... what is causing the confusion is that both you and halil are jumping in without observing :roll:

... and so far the person to whom the questions were addressed has not answered.

So kindly leave it alone .......

Des please answer the above questions of mine, if you can?



OK, Des will answer.

I ask you directly now. Are you calling the Turkish area of Nicosia in 1960 - 63 'occupied areas'? YES or NO. :roll:


Deniz .... you really can be tiresome.... :roll:

Have a look at the original thread, the context reflects the reasons why I posed my questions and corrections henceforth ... now scoooot! :D

I take that as a refusal to answer a direct question. Are you a microbiologist or a politician? :roll: :roll:

Isn't it funny Des,I experienced total mixing.OK on religious days there was a difference but the vast majority of the time we all mixed.We stayed at friends houses,ate together,even handed down clothes.
Our parents mixed also,my father often tells us the stories of the card schools,the fishing trips,how the men were always planning ways of making more money and buying a car.

The Akritas Plan
Clerides revealed in his memoirs that the Greek Cypriots, immediately after the Cyprus Republic was established, had decided to draw up a plan, "by virtue of which stage, by stage, by unilateral actions they would abolish the 'excessive rights' granted the 'Turkish minority', beginning with those amendments that were easier to make unilaterally and leaving the most difficult ones after our right for unilateral amendments was established by a de facto process."
Clerides op. cit, p. 207



A small reminder to the blind Oracle that we are after the Zurich Agreement and not a return to the times of Makarios' treachery!!!!

Des wrote:Oracle, perhaps you are too young! Nicosia was always divided. There was a very distinct Turkish area and and also a Greek area. Our family lived on both sides. There were also Turkish villages and Greek villages for hundreds of years.
There didn't seem to be much intermingling of both communities when I lived there.


Thanks for the information Des.
