Much easier to organise themselves into groups when they all meet at school. They are not Bash Patriots, but schoolchildren.
Coming from overseas, my first year in secondary in Cyprus and the demonstration was an eye opener for me. Something woke up in me that day which I refuse to let go. In those days (early 90s) the police ws firing tear gas at us and beating us back with their sticks. It was the days when Petros Papaleontiou the student climbed up the flag pole at the Paphos gate in Nicosia and lowered the Turkish flag that hangs over our heads as we drive round that round about. They kept that boy in jail for over a week (he was 15 I think) and we went to Ledra Palace every night after school to demonstrate with his mum for his release.
What you don't see (and here comes the faults of your generation that you've been asking for on another thread but I'll give it to you here as well) is the kind of split you've instilled into these kids. Due to your generations fanaticism (left wing and right wing) one set of kids grew up with a Greek flag in their hand while the other with a Cypriot. The one called the other a traitor and the other responds with fascist. The 2 groups of kids you saw demonstrating the other day....its all your doing.
Your attitude on this forum is testament to the fact that your gross negligence to the safety, and security of Cypriots by accepting in a haphazard manner, any plan which might fall out of Turkey's arse JUST IN CASE THE NEXT ONE WILL HAVE A LITTLE MORE SHIT ON IT is what polarises people.
Your generation failed to come to terms with their own identity and passed on a schizophrenic environment to the next generation...MY GENERATION. And then you have the balls to write things like
Only people with a proven clean past can talk about these sacred values
get over yourself
