Do TCs want to live in a GC state as a minority?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

This TC wants to live in a Cyprus state run by Cypriots...But I might have to start my own Cypriot state on Mars to achieve my wish...Who will come with me??? :wink: :)


We still cannot agree on a real definition of Cypriot and once we start discussing the word all hell breaks loose.

It's not a spelling problem ... It is a homonym problem.

"We still cannot agree on a real definition of Cypriot "

It is about the same as the definition for a Swiss. We like to complicate it with bullshit. Swiss come from three ethnic groups, French, German and Italian. They have NO DOUBT at all about being Swiss even though there is no Swiss language or ethnicity. They managed to make a country that is synonymous with progress and wealth.

You are probably right on your analysis here but the SWISS do not have much of a history and we all know what history teaches us !

Do not forget the Romansch Nikitas. They are only 1% of the overall Swiss population, and even they are not seen as a minority by themselves or by the rest.


By the way, as of tomorrow, the 12th, there will no longer be any passport control at Swiss borders with all other EU member states. There will be a complete freedom of movement with all EU members, and the Swiss are not even a EU member. The same will happen at Swiss airports in March 2009.The Swiss will set up a limited surveillance with Lichtenstein to monitor who is coming and who is going, since Lichtenstein did not sign up for the same deal with the EU.
