Turkish Cypriots or should I say Turkish Puppets

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Deniz, how you dare to dispute what bigOz so articulately and analytically explained to us in this thread? Are you daring to say that what a highly educated and knowledgeable person such as Bigoz has told us so far, is not accurate? With what credentials do you dare making such a blasphemous attempt?

I humbly apologise Kifeas. How dare I indeed. Last year I posted somewhere that my brother-in-law did his theses (whilst studying to become one of the leading architects in Cyprus -circa 1960)) the history of Byzantine art in the Churches of Cyprus. He loved talking about them. He had been all over the island studying them. He is retired now and laments the lost rich heritage of Cyprus. GR met him too. I dont know what they discussed, but he is not a figment of my imagination.
