We fought for our liberation from foreign oppressors just like the rest Greek islands and territories have done. You were the ones who have always attacked us and slaughtered us in an attempt to stop Cyprus from being liberated. Here is our first attempt for liberation:
"During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the Ottoman authorities feared that Greek Cypriots would rebel again. Archbishop Kyprianos, a powerful leader who worked to improve the education of Greek Cypriot children, was accused of plotting against the government. Kyprianos, his bishops, and hundreds of priests and important laymen were arrested and summarily hanged or decapitated on July 9, 1821."
It is you who should apologize for not allowing us to be free, not to expect from us to apologize because we wanted our freedom from foreign rulers!
We are also willing to forgive your crimes against us but we have learned our lesson the hard way and we will never again be put in danger again by people who claim to be our compatriots but do not see us as eqauls and want to use the majority advantage to our detrement.
Equality means one person one vote
regardless of the ehtnic background. What you demand is not equality, but inequality, so you can have us like your Ottoman subjects again. We had enough of that already. We now want democracy and human rights. We are not going to get stuck in the middle ages just because it suits you that way.
Safeguards are all we need to build trust and cooperation if in time we both prove ourselves these safeguards will become redendent but due to the lack of trust no TC will accept be left to the mercy of the GC majority.
You have no right to violate our rights and steal our lands - period, so don't cover under the excuse of supposed "safeguards" to steal our lands and violate our rights. If you want safeguards then you can have as many as you want as long as you give us back our lands and rights.
