Most Cypriots have trouble remembering that the TCs were once a vibrant, real part of Cyprus-proper. How will the general population distinguish between these two (Turks & TCs) virtually indiscernible "groups" of people now? Turkey knows this; and slowly, as it does away with the TC nomenclature and replaces it with "Turks" or "Turks of Cyprus", then there will be nothing to stop the original settlers claiming equality! They are crying for it
now, via Soyer!
We need to highlight this crime more, before it achieves momentum as normality.
(All brought on by the TCs I may add ... before Birkibrisli pipes in with his "It's all the fault of the unsympathetic GCs" eulogy ....

Sure,Oracle....Everything that ever happened in this problem has been the fault of the TCs...They are guilty as hell and they are now paying the ultimate price for it...Loss of identity by ethnic genocide...Enjoy dealing with Turkey and the "New" TCs...all one million of them...
Bother, instead of wasting your time having meaningless and dead-end dialogues with someone like Oracle (or me with someone like VP on the same level,) on the issue of future of the TC community, direct your efforts in talking towards your fellow TCs, because there is very little anyway the GCs can do in this direction.
There is very little the GCs can do, when you have an ELECTED LEADER who says the things he does. How can the TCs expect any help from the GCs, when Talat claims to have said the following to Christofias, in their meeting in Nicosia?
Under the title The Greek Cypriots do not want two separate peoples, Turkish Cypriot daily Halkin Sesi newspaper (03.12.08 ) reports that the Turkish Cypriot leader, Mehmet Ali Talat met yesterday again with President Christofias within the framework of the full-fledged negotiations for reaching a solution to the Cyprus problem. The paper notes that the Turkish Cypriot side did not accept the arguments set forward by President Christofias.
In statements at his office after the negotiations, Mr. Talat said that the Greek Cypriot side does not accept the existence of two peoples on the island because it is afraid of the separation. Mr. Talat added that the Greek Cypriots say that only one people exist in Cyprus because they are afraid of the peoples self-determination right and therefore they reject the discussion of the scientific aspect of the issue. He noted that there was no tension during the meeting yesterday and added that the Greek Cypriot side put forward its arguments and they discussed them.
Mr. Talat reiterated his view that there are two peoples in Cyprus and that he asked from President Christofias to tell him the language, religion and cultural structure of this people, if there is only one people in Cyprus. He said that he told President Christofias the following: Since there is only one people describe two things which it likes and two things it hates.

If your community elected as its leader, someone subscribing to the above ideology, it means that it also subscribes to the same above ideology. In which case, I wonder why all these thousands of TCs -the vast majority I should add, have applied and obtained the RoC passports or IDs, and why do they cross south every day for all the known reasons they do.
