I have to say one thing about Expat that alarmed me when I was writing on the ATCA Forum a while back...He confessed to raising the TRNC every morning and saluting to it.......I never really spoke to him after that......A Kiwi doing that.....Was I wrong?????


I saw the picture he sent to ATCA showing the north's flag on his flagpole. As to "saluting" it, I haven't read that bit. He did mention that he has a collection of several hundred flags, including those of Turkey, Greece, and Cyprus. I wonder if he flies those as well?



If you Google him, as I did, he is pretty big in the "War hammer" scene too.........I just find it all a bit creepy thats all.....


I chatted to him via e-mail a while back. He wished me the best of luck with my thesis, but didn't mention to me anything about "war hammer". He likes to talk about flags and his contributions to the Flags Of The World site. I'll have to ask him about "war hammer"...


You are not going to ask him just like that are you :shock: I can't wait!!! :lol:

No I'm not. I'm trying to get my post-graduate degree in International Relations, GR. Cyprus was one of the choices offered me, and the various publications on the Cyprus Problem piqued my interest. That's why I joined this forum (and ATCA), so I could get to the human angle. Books tend to be too dispassionate at times and I want my thesis to go beyond that.

What can I say? I love a challenge. What's more challenging than Cyprus? Enosists, Taksimists, reconciliationists, federalists, independents, confederalists... the only thing we're missing are anarchists!

Utu,

Look at the map of the eastern Mediterranean and draw in the Exclusive Economic Zones of norther Cyprus and Turkey and see where the situation leads. With possession of northern Cyprus Turkey controls more of the area as part of the EEZ than all the neighboring countries combined.

Countries have no room for cympathies, only interests. The TCs have been used and when they are no longer needed they will be discarded, this much was stated by the late TC politician Ozgur. Time is proving him right.
