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.
It is so easy for you to forget because everything you list are the things and persons that happened to us..The TCs......ut when i ask you to forget 1974 and the refugees and everything your lot suffered then it's a different story........You are the master of double standards and the seller of rubbish Chinese Knives.......You have no shame as a salesman and it shows in your attitude towards my people. you take the Greek line with your dismissals and then pretend to be the TCs friend.......Not everyone is fooled Miltiades.
What a blithering idiot you turned out to be !
Your are not only full of hatred your full of shit too. You never lived those years you Plonker you were not even born stupid so how come you know so much , Oh I know your grandmother told you. My levels of tolerance when it comes to stupidity ARE very low so do me a favour piss off to Turkey and leave the Cypriots to do their own thing . Sorry , I forgot , you are still in the UK suffering all the hostility and racial discrimination !!!
How dare you stupid insult my integrity , the people that know me understand fully what I stand for .
ps.How many Chinese knives did you buy from me !!
