What a coincidence that I managed to know many Greek Cypriots in South and none of them sees us minority but their political equivalence. Most of them want a bizonal solution. None of them called Turks from Turkey "Anatolian parasites" and even one of the policemen at the border said he sometimes let Cyprus born Turkish people to pass the border.

It is so sad that you compare forum members with the people you know. Each person has his/her own views and the ones sharing your views do not make them "better" than the others.

Erol, is this part that you quoted above written by Gibbons or is a third party briefing based on the book?

I could not say with certainty because I do not know. I suspect it was written by the publisher and approved by Mr Gibbons as this is how I percieve all such 'summaries' of books found on their covers?

The first thing, among many other, that strikes me, is the number of GC deaths during the coup. By all accounts and reports of Government and GC pro-resistance (anti coupists) press, the number of GCs killed from both sides during the coup, doesn't exceed the 200. Here it mentions 2,000(!!!)

I do not know what Mt Gibbons sources are for these numbers as I do not know what yours are for yours. I have little doubt however that the RoC has made (and perhaps continue to makes) efforts to attibute some deaths of GC in this period to Turkish and TC forces when in fact they were GC - GC killings. I suspect that if the RoC claims there were 200 GC deaths as a result of the coup (GC killing GC) and 6000 as a result of Turkish action in 74 that the real numbers of GC - GC killings were higher. Call me a cynic if you like?

ok

i've allways thought that the figure was 2000.
this figure being the reported figure by the bbc at the time.

but who knows?

there was also gc power struggle and inter-communal fighting for a long period, prior to the coup. Police stations were bombed for example.

again who knows?

So did all the TCs participating already voted?
Turkcyp you should be clearer man.You should perhaps spell it in Turkish for them.This poll was for the GCs to answer.

Wrong impressions!!! You just think you know them.
Beleive me I live here. Don't get confused of the due politeness over a cup of coffee.

As for the settlers the usual sentense is "oi kkilinjiroi pou tin Tourkia"=The trashy gypsies from Turkey

Since you're so honest about your community, maybe you can tell us how TCs are referred...

I answered you in detail in another thread, not more than 10 days ago.
Can you explain me why the TCs call the GCs Rumlar though?
Rum=Greek
Rumalr=Greeks
