As for the rest of you GC's, my grandfathers remarks ring true, you all begin to bark at the same time, kopek kopekdir.
Someone else accused me of being an imbecile, why? because i have an opinion which is contrary to theirs? because i believe Turkish cypriots do not deserve to live under greek cypriots? because i believe that not 1 more single turkish cypriot deserves to die at the hands of a greek cypriot?
Then i am an imbecile.
Big Al,I am sure you are not an imbecile. In fact I am sure you have above average intelligence,and sensitivity. Your problem is you do not believe that we can learn from history and not repeat the same mistakes...It is true that a dog is a dog. But GCs and TCs are not dogs.
They are human beings,plus brothers and sisters and cousins and compatriots...Please give empathy and compassion time to work their magic over prejudice and bigotry...You will be surprised how close to our GC cousins you will find yourself feeling, if you just removed the cobwebs from your mind...
