Changing village names

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Changing village names

Postby Nikitas » Tue Mar 11, 2008 11:04 am

A TC professor proposes replacing the changed names of villages in the north. Soiunds like a grand gesture but not withouth the usual calculations, for as prof says:

"“We have nothing to lose by doing this, but a lot to gain,” he said, adding that the move should go ahead even without a solution to the island’s decades-old divide"

The bazaar mentality is always there.

The full article is posted in the Cyprus Mail.

The article says that the recent change, and they are not recent but have been used for decades along with the Greek versions, make it look as if the TCs only arrived in 1974 and not have existed on the island for centuries.......Sorry for doing things for ourselves Nikitas but if you care to read into history the GCs have not done much in that direction for us except cause us grif and hardship since I was 3 years old....As old as the first ever republic on Cyprus....

The name changes hit places that did not even have a Greek name, like the prof says, citing the case of Galatia, not to mention Komi Kepir etc. Funny thing that no one in the south felt the need to change the name of Kouklia, or Mala, or other Turkish place names. This crisis of identity is a TC and Turkish thing which totally escapes me.
