I have now casted my vote. There are no prizes to be won for guessing that I voted for Miltiades. For the moment, I would like to borrow a famous phrase of Piratis. How can anyone dare criticise the opinion of the democratically elected President of Cyprus.

[miltiades]

If the poll is a draw, then we both stay.

Well I still have my vote so I can give to you if you need it !!!
Have you got yours still ?

[Paphitis]

No I do not!

[zan]

If it's a draw then you both go!!!!!!!Lets have you both putting your money where your mouth is DEAL?????

[Bananiot]

Take the offer Paphidis, while Miltiades is in a magnanimous mood.

[Paphitis]

I do not think that I will be needing it. But thanks for the offer!

[miltiades]

sorry miltiades, even though i dont agree with Paphitis ideas you keep telling me i am a foreigner just because i dont live in Cyprus, and yet neither do you, thats a hypocritical in my book. Paphitis (as shitty as some of his opinions are) atleast realises there are people with different opinions to his and is open to debate.
Perhaps some time away from CF will give you more time to spend with your grandchild.

Correction. I keep telling you you are NOT a Cypriot not because you live overseas but because , just as Zan says , you also proclaim that your motherland is Turkey. Ant Cypriots who have motherlands any nation other that Cyprus , which they claim to be their island , then they are not Cypriots , its common sense , an Italian who calls France his motherland is obviously French and visa verse.

Umit , I dont obviously expect anyone to have read even 1% of my posts , but let me assure you that I have challenged on many occasions the wisdom of flying a foreign flag or singing a foreign national anthem. The core of our problem is that we are not being truthful to our identity which clearly is that of a Cypriot. Our new generations must be brought up being proud of being Cypriots and not brainwashed into becoming Greeks or Turks. I have never advocated that I'm not a G/C but have always underlined that I'm a Cypriot first and foremost . The Greek and Turkish flags are partly responsible for most of the conflict , most of the killing , lives have been wasted because of these two cancerous emblems that represent foreign countries. You must understand my feelings too as a Cypriot that considers you and all other Cypriots as my compatriots . The moment you adopt a foreign country as your motherland which clearly isn't mine then I'm quite correct in calling you a foreigner . For god sake we are Cypriots just as the Spanish , the French the Maltese are nationals of their respective countries.
The demotion of the two foreign flags in our country will do a great deal to promote social bonding between our people , lets face it what separates our people is mostly Greece and Turkey , what a bloody shame !!

What would you call all the Cypriots that sing the Greek National anthem then? The Cypriots that are having a very hard time lowering the Greek Flag ? The situation in Cyprus is not as clear cut as you like to portray it Miltiades, I believe that your intentions are honorable but you cannot go around branding people like cattle.

What ever you are saying is Solution will be as followes .This statement is from UN news .

In May, Mr. Christofias and Mr. Talat committed to a partnership that will comprise a Federal Government with a single international identity, along with a Turkish Cypriot Constituent State and a Greek Cypriot Constituent State, which will be of equal status.

Miltiades

Let me put it this way for you, I am an average person who places himself in the middle in terms of placement in this vast political spectrum. I neither love Turkey to death in a way that I forget about Cyprus but neither do I tag along the "We are all Cypriot lets just kiss and make up and forget everything, it was all the fault of the imperial nations" notion. I love Cyprus at least as much as you do and I respect the views of each GC on this forum and I find a bit of truth in just about every post. I love Cyprus to death and would neither want to see it a part of Turkey or Greece to any extent whatsoever. I've been in Melbourne for 6 weeks now and sometimes even cry a bit when thinking of Cyprus in bed before going to sleep and you call me a foreigner , for what? Being a bit cautious? What I see of being asked from TC's is like " Pulling your pants down at a gay night club and hoping that nothing happens!` . There is a lack of trust between GC's and TC's because we are still not sure of either sides intentions.

[miltiades]

No I do not!

You naughty boy , I have still got mine !!
I offered you my hand in friendship a few times , you rejected it .
Let me now give you my vote which will make us level at 12 each , call an end to the poll shake hands and be mates . After all if you were to lose I would only have Oracle and GR to fight with , not fair on them is it !!
Mate I have a sense of humour , have you , let me vote for you and call it a draw !!
