You're right, I did mean "homogeneous".
Due to my sensitive working environment, I am unfortunately unable to re-read my postings or double check the spelling etc - all watching!!!
I simply write my postings as quickly as possible and hit Submit.
Anyway, regarding the issue of a "homogeneous Cypriot", in my view, does not exist, unlike let's Say "Chinese" (People).
So, the claim of being a Turkish Cypriot or Greek Cypriot only, in my view, appears more valid than just a "Cypriot". Unless you are referring to all Citizens of the former 1960 Republic before the conflict?
But, then, people were regarded as Turks of Cyprus and Greeks of Cyprus.
Am I wrong?
Where in the Original 1960 Agreement is their any reference to Turkish-Cypriots and Greek-Cypriots?
actually folks back then frequently reffered to each other as Christians and muslims.
In Anglissidhes we were often referred to as 'Tourkopoulos'. Never as Muslim or hristianikos.
Tourkopoulos? Have never heard that term before.
The world "Tourkopoulos" shows what I am saying long time now in this forum( T/cs -G/cs had never real good relations).Tourkopoulos was the government appointed agriculture police solving differences between people in the villages and their land (this was the official appointment) But in real life the G/cs were calling them "Tourkopoulos" which means that they were protecting the G/cs working in the fields from the T/cs.
Some people in Cyprtus either are blind or they are trying to convist us that T/cs and G/cs were living peacefully together.....
