We messed up badly by not giving enough time for ironing out " indiscrepancies "and from day one we begun telling the world that the agreements were signed under duress and pressure mainly from Greece , ( that the agreements gave the T/Cs excessive rights with the flimsy excuse of safeguarding their rights ) who clearly wanted to wash her hands from the Cypriot "donkeys " a description often used for the Cypriot people by the disputed descendants of the ancient Greeks. We became infatuated with this absurd notion that we were not Cypriots but Greeks and any non Greeks amongst us ought to be oblitarated , removed fro the Helenic shores of Cyprus , Aman re , ouxi Kiprios ala Kalamaras !!
Thankfully some of us , the true Cypriots , are becoming vociferous and demanding that our rights as Cypriots are considered and further more we are willing and determined to stand up and call upon the motherland fuckers to piss off and go join their respective motherlands . I do not for a second see Kikapu , Birkibrisly , Halil , Iceman and many more as my enemies because they are T/Cs . I see them as my compatriots , just as they see me as one of them , a Cypriot who can stand on his own feet and tell Greece and Turkey to get lost and let us sort our problems out .
Milty .... you are obsessed with Greece and Greeks. Stop it!
The reason we were not happy with the 1960 Constitution had nothing to do with Greeks and everything to do with the fact that it was unworkable and undemocratic.
If you cannot see that you are a lost cause ... your world stopped when you left in 1963!
