Most Armenian Cypriots came in 1920s to Cyprus... And yet Greeks have the nerve to call them a ''Cypriot'' and deny Turkish Cypriots of being Cypriots when we've been here far longer and for hundreds of years.

Greek Cypriots aren't the founders of this island. They weren't the first ones here. So surely they can't be Cypriot either?

Basically there is no such thing as a ''Cypriot'' ... we are just Maronites, Armenians, Greeks or Turks..... Agree?

Because if there is such thing as a Cypriot , you have no right to deny Turkish Cypriots of being a CYPRIOT.


Interesting theory you got here...ever thought of publishing it?

And while you are at it, who were the French, the English, the Germans and especially the yanks and etc...care to enlightten us on this as well?



I am probably descendant of many an eclectic race (Saxons, Gauls, Romans etc) and I am grateful to my ancestors whoever they were!!

Still, I was born in England and I am very proud to be English :D
