DT.,
I don't know what you mean,as I don't speak Greek (either Cypriot or Hellenic),let alone Turkish (Cypriot or Anatolian).

The Cypriot national anthem should be in 3 versions,which would all be official - Cypriot Greek (as opposed to Hellenic Greek),Cypriot Turkish (as opposed to Anatolian Turkish),& English.South Africa's old national anthem was known as 'Die Stem Van Suid-Afrika' in Afrikaans,& 'The Call of South Africa' in English.

The Cypriot national anthem should reflect its distinctiveness,plus its heritage as a British Commonwealth member state.

If the anthem depicts any British Colonial reminders, I will never stand at attention to it, but would vomit!
Did I ever mention that I am of the opinion that Queen Elizabeth should be facing murder charges over the murder of Pallikaridi? :)


Paphitis,

My hats off to you mate !

No need to resuscitate the archaic and long-defunct concept of Commonwhealt in rebuilding a new Cyprus !

Instead, the GCs and TCs should strive to use "Common-Stealth" against any foreign involvement and against motherlands (Greece, Turkey) if necessary.

For what any british colonial involvement or/and commonwhealth should represent for us Cypriots, see below:

Cem,
You ARE a WANKER!

The British Commonwealth has been involved in supporting Cyprus against Turkey's barbarism,which is the illegal occupation of northern Cyprus.

No British Commonwealth member state has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of another member state.Great Britain does not interfere in Cyprus' internal affairs,except when the Cypriot Government requests any assistance.

Lets hope we'll never need that kind of "assistance" again Aidan. I feel we've had too much of it.

Personally, the present flag of Cyprus is quite cute and I am for its preservation as it is.
For those flag-fetishists, I would suggest the E.U flag to be hoisted next to CY's in the official places.
And nothing else...
For either dyed-in-the wool greek or turkish flag aficinados, they can have their flags at home, if they wish.
I hope to think and I think to hope as well, that time will help erasing the remnants of the past in re-unified Cyprus.

In the absence of a complete ban on flags - loathsome fetishism of nationalists the world over - I'd second Cem's
