The case of the disappearing Greek flag
By Lawrence Mann: Saturday, June 7, 2008

A GREEK flag at the entrance to the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) in Nicosia has caused quite a stir this week, appearing and then disappearing.

The flag, which has been there for years, was taken down several months ago, with rumours circulating that it was removed ʽfor political reasonsʼ.

But it made a sudden reappearance on Tuesday, and senior management decided to take it down.

It then reappeared again on Wednesday.

An e-mail which was sent to the Phileleftheros newspaper by a group calling itself, the National Front of Cyprus, claimed responsibility, saying they had put the flag up as a symbolic action.

The e-mail contained a statement which read: “The youth of Cyprus stands tall, ready to repel sneaky plans for the dehellenisation of Cyprus.”

When asked to comment, the paper quotes CyBC General Manager Themis Themistocleous as saying that he has “more serious issues to deal with than this nonsense”.

He apparently ordered that the flag be left flying in an effort to put an end to the matter.

A source at CyBC yesterday told the Mail that, “when the flag was first taken down there were rumours that a petition went round demanding that it be put back up.”

Yesterday, the flag could be seen outside the corporation, along with a Cypriot and EU flag.

This is old news you disguised Turk ....

The reasons for you posting this irrelevancy (of the occasional need to take down flags to wash them) on the Forum at such a time, are as transparent as the thin slice you call brain.

If you post like a Turk, I will label you a Turk ... because I don't care what you "really" are! That is what is known as speaking the truth!

As for this thread ... it is your "immaculate" timing I am drawing attention to! You are as subtle as a Turk at a Pogrom!

Yes there are some proud Greek Cypriots in Cypriots. But if you really are a Greek Cypriot and proud then you would stop posting all this rubbish about the Greek Flag at this time, because all you are doing is fanning the flames, and this is very harmful to Cyprus.

So prove you are Greek and post something sensible and intelligent instead of provoking further friction.

Nothing I posted was harmful to Cyprus in any way what so ever. Is it ok for others to post such anti Hellenic garbage/lies?
