They did not because I'm a TC, and as per the 1960 Constitution, I can only serve with the TC community in the country of Cyprus. The TC community is in the "TRNC", although technically speaking, it is still Cyprus. I am not kept away because I have not served, and as recently as last week, it has been made even easier for those of us who did not want to do the MS, to return for a visit, but will cost £3,000 if one wants to reside over 90 days. Isn't that nice, and you wonder why I get upset with the "TRNC".
The "TRNC" is not my country, therefore I had no obligation to serve all the years that I could have, just like others. If and when the two communities get their stuff together and form a single country again, then I will do my duty if I'm called upon. I'm sorry you had to spend 2 years of your precious time "playing soldiers" and getting a doze of brainwashing treatment at the "Bathtub Murders House", but I did not want to take that route, and it had nothing to do with having a superiority complex, but rather having principles and the good sense to stay away from it. In any case, with 40,000 Turkish troops there, what do they needed me for or you for that matter. It was the case of making people pay £3,000 to get out of doing their service, and not that they actually needed anyone to serve.
As I said, if my country of Cyprus calls for me to do my MS in the future as a united Cyprus, I will do so. It may however be in the "Dad's Army Unit". :lol:
Your bright personality and wise input elevates the TC community...
He is not of the TC community we have disowned him, he is a fully paid up arse licking GC cheer leader. He believes everything he says is the gods truth and he knows all. The only thing he appears to have overlooked is that if a solution is every found he will have to answer to the TCs for all the crap he has thrown there way.
You need to come to terms with the fact that not every Turkish Cypriot approves of the direction that the TC community has taken. Even if Kikapu was the only TC with this view it still wouldn’t necessarily make him wrong and the rest of the TCs right.
The only reason people like you think the “TRNC” is a good thing is because Turkey has allowed the TC community to taste “independence”, albeit in a violent and illegal way, and has also promised to protect the TC community from ever having to face justice. Human nature is such that the great majority of people will commit and/or be an accessory to a crime, if it benefits them and they feel they can get away with it.
Of course, in order to eliminate any sense of guilt, the TC community had to find very serious reasons for being an accessory to such a serious international crime. This was achieved by heightening the amplitude of the inter-communal clashes and redefining the actual events so that “200 dead” now became a “genocide”, and “3-4 killed with a knife” now became a “mass slaughter” etc. The TC education system then set about “re-educating” or if you like conditioning the TC community so that the only version of events that got passed on to the next generations was that which justified their illegal behavior and removed any sense of guilt. You seemingly accept this conditioning but Kikapu doesn’t.
You VP, just happen to be one of the opportunistic majority, that is… those people who WILL commit the crime if you can get away with it, whereas Kikapu has a very rare consciousness that keeps him from participating despite the “rewards”.
We’re basically looking at two different human beings, having been raised in two different ways, and in two different places, and thus reacting to the same “opportunity” in opposing directions.
