Is there a chance?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Is there a chance?

That we could stop saying you did this that or the other, and just look forward to a solution?

Can we stop blaming each other? What's done is done, nothing can make any of it right. Horrible things are done in life, let alone in War. I'm not saying it's an excuse or should be forgotten, but if we keep blaming each other we'll never move on.

I agree Chara, we are sick of being blamed for everything ;)

I am on your side, but unfortunately there are too many a-holes that like to live in the past.

Realism is not something that most Cypriots (whatever flavour) can understand.

Let's wait for the barrage of abuse now.

That's not the problem. :roll: The problem is what is happening TODAY! Turkish troops occupy 36.7% of RoC illegally, refugees are not allowed to return to their homes, there is a separatist illegal partitionist regime called the "TRNC", etc., etc. :twisted:

I agree that's the problem for both sides. But if we don't look forward then we won't find a solution to today's problem.

:roll: It is the TCs that are always looking back to the past and continuously reminding us of the atrocities and use it as an excuse for either maintaining the status quo or for negotiating a democratically unfair and discrinatory comprehensive settlement.

Oh really ?

Perhaps you had better go back and read the majority of GC post's which use the "Cyprus is 2000 years Greek" arguement as the base for all their debates...Sheesh, talk about looking back :?

At least you are man enough to acknowlege the atrocities against TC's unlike your ring leaders in this circus whom claim that not one TC was touched by EOKIST'S.

For some, the Cyprus problem pretty much revolves around land & property disputes and/or settler/military removals but for others it goes FAR beyond that…in fact it’s very personal, so one should never assume that territorial allocations and settler/military settlements are the Cyprus panacea.

Will you acknowledge the atrocities committed against the GCs?

Do you acknowledge the fact that the Turkish invasion murdered 10,000+ GCs?

Do you acknowledge the fact that 160,000 GCs were ethnically cleansed from the occupied areas and were never allowed to return to their homes?

Do you acknowledge the fact that 1,852 GCs were missing? Their fate is only now being uncovered with the discovery of mass graves?

Do you acknowledge the plundering of important Orthodox religious sites and antiquities?

Or do you believe that that it was only TCs that suffered?
