As you know,i have one son in his mid twenties and sooner or later his time will come to choose a partner..
BUT he clearly knows,if he wants mine or his mothers approval he doesn't bring us one of them.
I even accept an eskimo (no disrespect to eskimos here) but i DONT want a mainland Turk..

Iceman I take off my hat to you.I thought it was only me that was a racist git. ha ha

GC chicks are the best!

I have already had this discussion with my son .... so I find your disclosure disconcerting.

I have told my son that if he finds and falls in love with a Turk (male or female) ... I will accept it completely, and be truly delighted he has found love. And I mean it ...
My cries of "Bloody Turks" and "I hate Turks", as I have always maintained are personal .... and not transferable ...

So why would you oppose your son's choice?

Really ? No kidding !!
Even if the girl (or boy since you don't care if your son is gay or not) were from the occupied area, moreover from a settler family and wearing traditional headscarf ?
Wouldn't you a bit be pre-occupied in this case ?
How would you behave, if moreover, or as the french say "par dessus le marche", the girls' family insisted that your son convert to Islam ?
Would you still be happy, too ?
If such a thing ever happens and given that he has already your blessings, please, please dear Stella,invite me to the wedding.
I promise to pin $500 on both bride and the groom.

Why does it come as such a surprise?

As a mum, my duty is to bring up an independent, self-assured adult who knows the difference between right and wrong and who respects other people's Rights.

I have always maintained we are just ONE RACE with different cultures, some I prefer over others. If he prefers a different culture to mine, then I have achieved my objective ... so I will be happy.

I find the TCs attitude to Turks bigoted, "racist" and anti-human.

I hate Turks because they stole part of my country. TCs hate Turks because they have not given them this stolen part as they expected ... and they consider the Turks as inferior, perhaps only good for just getting them the goodies!

Then if she did this just to make you happy ..... I feel sorry for her.

Parents should not make such emotionally laden remarks to their children!

I can hear what you are saying from a mother's aspect Oracle as I want nothing more for my children but their health and happiness. I have no qualms about whom they marry - if indeed they do; their happiness is paramount and I always endeavour to maintain this

Let us say that your son did marry a Turkish person - how can you stop your 'hatred' filtering through to this lady or man? I cannot see you 'totally' accepting this person 100% - no matter how much you protest to the contrary! Sorry!

I know your daughter married for love Milti and not for you!

My family would be up the creek if they took your advice though!
So would you for that matter! Give my love to your lovely wife.

Bubbles .. you are missing the material essence of what I am saying ...

I have always maintained we are just ONE RACE with different cultures, some I prefer over others. If he prefers a different culture to mine, then I have achieved my objective ... so I will be happy.

There is no stronger guiding light than having a friend/lover/spouse who appreciates the difference between right and wrong.

In imparting this desire for Human Rights in my son, I have no doubts he will make the right decision for himself.

ORACLE WHO ARE YOU KIDDING NOW?
You are son will bring home a Turkish settler and you will welcome her with open arms !!!!!
Pull the other one will you.
My daughter , who was incidentally christened in Stroumbi the Great , chose her man on her own , I had not met him but once she said he was born in Paphos I was over the moon !!
I had no say as to who she would marry but expressed the aforesaid sentiments .
My sons' other half is English and I'm extremely happy with this as well.

[DT.]

I have no issues with my son or daughter marrying whoever they truly love...my only objection will be if she goes for a Paphitis.

If my son goes for a Paphitisa then its not such a big problem because I find the female version of the paphitis donkey stubborness as a necessity when marrying a hair brained Cypriot man.

Miltiades ... you too are missing the point.

If he grows up with respect of Human Rights as absolute ... is he then likely to desire someone who abuses those Rights?

If by some twist of politics/morals/settlement issue, said Anatolian settler has transposed to the correct side of that equation; then I would be perfectly happy, since then only the cultural differences would prevail, and I have already stated I do not pass on my preferences to those ....
