Do you honestly believe that Piratis. So in short, nothing will ever happen, the British will remain and Turkish troops will always be in Northern Cyprus..

Again what does your comment has to do with the price of fish purdey...nothing changes the fact that there was never tcs on the island just people from the Ottoman times...

[purdey]

Yes there were people there, but where were they from...Turkey, Greece, Syria, Egypt, Israel ? they could of been from anywhere in the med.
Who named Cyprus ?????

[purdey]

Sorry Boomerang.. yes you are right I am off topic, just responding to Piratis...no more.

[Get Real!]

I think geography is the short answer... Cyprus has been visited since man walked the earth, it was always well placed to visit for every pirate, invader, tourist since man discovered the boat.
There is no proof available that Cypriots are the indegenous people of Cyprus....

You are talking rubbish... we have a thread on that so go find it!

[boomerang]

What a bunch of idiots. Who gives a shit about the past. The fact is we are here, call us Ottomans or Turks, we consider ourselves Cypriots. All that you are doing is cementing partition with such ridiculous debates.

You hate us and want a Cyprus without us. That will never happen as we have every right to be here. Deal with it. Bloody losers

Another intellectual joins in...

Who said anything that we hate you...who said that you have any right to be in Cyprus?...

On the contrary I said after 400 odd years you have as much right to be in Cyprus and be considered a Cypriot...

But whoosh over your head as per usual...The only thing united about you is your ass and your head... ...they both spill out shit...

Again, not with you boomerang. By the same argument, there were never any GCs on the island, just people from Spartan times.

By your argument, since the only people who ruled Cyprus and still exist as a country is Britain, Cyprus ought to be British.

Silly thread.

The same place as the Aboriginals from OZ...out of thin air purdey...happy now?

[Piratis]

In your second paragraph...Not true...you thnk the aboriginals of OZ, are the indegenous people of Australia...they came from somewhere or you think they materialized out of thin air...never the less it does not discount the fact that theay are the indegenous people of the OZ...

Greeks were the first to inhabit many of the areas of Cyprus which until then were uninhabited. Same with a few others, like the Phoenicians. If we had "Phoenician Cypriots" today they would also be native.

Since then those people, and those those that came after, either just to settle or as populations transferred here by a ruler, were all eventually assimilated into Cypriots.

The TCs were not allowed to be assimilated, although the process had already started when they suddenly told them that they are special and if they fight against the rest of Cypriots several privileges will be granted to them as a reward.

Piratis let us look at it from a different angle...

1...There were people in Cypus prior to the greeks arriving
2...The greeks colonized us same as every other ruler...something similar to what the british did to the Aboriginals of OZ...nothing different...they speak english and have the british traditions...

That does not make them british by any thought of the imagination

What about if the british never came to OZ...what would have happened to the Aboriginals today...somehow the english language and traditions wouldn't have been on the table...don't you agree?

No I don't agree.

The Greeks were among the first inhabitants of Cyprus. Similar to the Greeks were the Phoenicians. They created their own new cities on uninhabited land and Cyprus was their home. They didn't come to Cyprus to exploit its people and transfer the profits abroad. The Greeks didn't come to Cyprus as "rulers".

The others (Persians, Venetians, Ottomans, British etc) came to Cyprus as conquerors as part of their empire building. Cyprus was not their home. They simply exploited Cyprus and Cypriots and sent their profits abroad.

An insecure response from a man awakening to the realities of the Cypriot identity...
