Kocatepe and Sakarya (in Larnaka), would be highly imflammatory to the Greeks (Hellenic). That was where the flame of the Megalo Idea was extinguished (1922).

Now you've done it. Certain people will be making their way there armed with pots of blue paint to obliterate these street names.

Why? Surely if we wanted to do such a thing, we would have done it already!

Iskeleliler bunlari bilmiyormu?

It is only right that people know where the names come from. Anyway, the origin of Sakarya is probably Greek.

In 1955/56 I lived in a house in Kemal Ataturk Sokagi. That name doesnt exist anymore. Now they call it Cemal Gursel Sokagi. Tell me the logic in that.

Hate to say it, but it has been done to the sign at the entry to Ankara Street in Limassol - and in blue paint.

Well Zan, the path to peace and reconciliation is full of booby traps. You have to make a personal decision whether you want to act provocatively or with sensitivity to your neighbours. My family came from mixed villages, we celebrated each others special occasions, Christmas and Easter wasn't unbearable for us nor Ramadan for them. We all have to make a decision about our personal behaviour towards our neighbours. Being Cypriot I believe you would make the correct decision according to your conscience,


Religion and the overall message of religion is one thing mehmet because it is a message of peace but what sort of message will be received in the case of Makarios or Attaturk.

Really Zan, you disappoint me. Do you start this thread just to provoke, you ask a question, you get some answers but not the ones you expected and then you post an article to seek to prove that some in our communities are intolerant of each others cultures.

We already know that.

And as the article went on to say he was subject to judicial procedures.

My point remains the same, what personal sacrifice are you prepared to make in the name of a peaceful united Cyprus? Personally I can stomach Makarios though not Grivas. Who knows we might get statues of Cat Stevens, George Michael, Peter Andre instead. For our part we can offer Tracy Emin and her artworks as a gesture of reconciliation.

Welcome back Mehmet , and an excellent post. I'm afraid though you are wasting your time with Zan , you see he is besoted with Turkey , Enosis , TPap , Makarios , Grivas and any other euphemistically used description to prove to himself that only a total absorption of Cyprus by Turkey is worth anything. Unlike you and I who want a united Cyprus ruled by Cypriots for the benefit of Cypriots he wants his "motherland" Turkey to assimilate AND AT THE SAME TIME ELIMINATE THE T/Cs , all will be called TURKISH , NO T/C any more.
