What is illegal and criminal is the change of the names of our towns and villages by the Turkish invaders, and this is what will not be tolerated.Does changing the sellers original software not infringe the copy right laws?
Iy'll be interesting to see what Garmin will have to say about this.
If Garmin wants to sell their products in Cyprus they have to comply with the laws of our country.If as the GCs cxlaim we are Cypriots, why insist on "Greek names", why not change all to "Cypriot names"?
Cypriots are as much Greek as Cretans or Athenians. Greek is the language of Cypriots, apart from some small minorities (like they exist in every other country).
We don't want to change the names of our villages or towns. The Turks are the ones who want to do this, because they are trying to falsify the history of our island and forcefully Turkify the north part of our country. What we want is to keep the original names of all towns and villages, regardless if those original names are Greek, Turkish, Latin or anything else.
Regarding Macedonia: The original Macedonians were Greek. Slavs did not appear in the region until many centuries later. Those Slavs claiming that they are Macedonians, would be the equivalent of the Turks claiming that they are Byzantines.
So one of you claims it's Greek and the other claims it's Cypriot.
When you have made up your minds, come back and let is know, ok.
