What you copied/paste refers to Mongols, not Mongolians. May be it's another name for Down Syndrome?

You know, for an academic you're not very PC.

Well, well as an academic I have fought many a running battle with students and colleagues who meant precisely that. Let me also tell you that many Greek Cypriots still refer to Turksih Cypriots as "dogs" and given the Cypriot mentallity about animals one would be justify to do just about anything to a "dog". Do you think we got into this mess for nothing?

I've never heard ANY Greek Cypriots refer to Turkish Cypriots as 'dogs', maybe I just hang around in good circles though???

DT,
we must be honest to each other since my childhood i heard these words ''Shillo Turko ''and ''Gavur'' both sides were attacking each other with these kind of the words . nothing to do with 74 DT,
some how you must learn to clear your mind with 74 . for finding excuses for everything with 74 will lead us for nothing .İmportant thing is we must calculate the right things and we must get lessones from the past . we must realise Turks , Greeks or others are all humanbeings .They all have religion and dignity as well.

Dignity Halil, above all, dignity!

Byzantines used to call the Ottomans, 'Kounokephali / -os'.

Whats new. I am sure there are a few choice words some TCs will call Greeks or GCs. Who cares. They are only words. Only a bullet in the gut will hurt.

DT, in 1974 I was in London (actually I was working as a waiter in Granby Hotel, Great Yarmouth) and bought a ticket to come to Cyprus on July 25 for the first time since I left in 1966 because in those times we worked in order to be able to study.

As a result of the invasion I lost my father, who died soon after from a stroke and my mother died 6 months later. I think their displacement had everything to do with their deaths.

Whats this word again Deniz?
