There are many students that simply believe that Turkey invaded just out of the blue , when in fact Turkey was given the green light by the fanatics and the Greek Junta .The extremists were responsible 100 % , on both sides , but the extending of the invitation to invade Cyprus was by the kind invitation of the G/Cs and Greek extremists joining forces in order to achieve their dream in complete disregard of any one else on the island.These young students must be nurtured with responsible care ensuring they do not enter adulthood full of hate as for instance the likes of Eric amongst others.
We must rely on the school authorities not to stand by idly watching our young people developing into vigilantes .
The T/C students have a right of attending school without the fear of intimidation and hindrance , they did not cause the problem , on the contrary Cyprus must rely on all these students for its future.
In other words brainwash the kids into accepting your view on the Cyprus problem!
You Miltiades, who was brought up to rightfully question authority, such that you deem it acceptable to insult a traffic warden for doing his job, will now happily sit back and allow Turkey to do her "job" of ethnically cleansing half our island of its native people .... Nay, not just sit back, allow, endorse ..... but also produce justification for her doing this "job" ... when we all know full well she should not have been given this "job" of looking after the interests of the island in the first place.
And to think you were probably sober when you wrote that
Which part of my post are you disputing or misunderstanding Oracle after all you are aware of my esteemed respect of your brainpower.
Was it the fact , indisputable fact , that Turkey would NOT have invaded if the military coup against Makarios orchestrated by the Greek Junta had not occurred .
Is it not also not an indisputable fact that Turkey was indirectly given the green light in the absence of any Greek Junta coherent action following the military coup and the ensuing , yes it was , conflict between the coup supporters and the Makarios camp. Is not a fact that the elected President of the Republic of Cyprus had to escape with his life and aided by the British left the island. Do we tell our kids these facts , do we explain to them that there are two sides to a coin ??
As far as my position's credentials concerning the continued occupation of North Cyprus are concerned , all who take part in the political parts of this forum know full well , just as you should , where I stand .
I do not see just one side of the coin , I look at both , remembering that my allegiance is wholly to Cyprus and its people and the T/Cs are an integral part of the people of Cyprus. I challenge opinions that are detrimental to the future of Cyprus , where these opinions emanate from is of no consequence.
Many will recall my remonstrations with extremists such as Alexander , Malakas, Lysi , Scotseza and last but not list Eric the Plonker , not forgetting Zan , and of course VP of the past , I say past as I'm now seeing VP and Shah too as less intransigent and more accommodating.
I mentioned before that I have in my extended family , not the blood one ,
a wonderful man , a T/C who married my sister in laws sister , this Cypriot is representative of all that is good in Cyprus . A proud T/C without an iota of hatred for his compatriots , a man who also sees both sides of the coin.We get on fabulously well , we are both wise !
As far as your comment "And to think you were probably sober when you wrote that " insinuating that I spend my time in a less than a sober state , let me refrain from disassociating my self from something with which I have never been associated with !
