Thats like saying are not all Brits British?
You are avoiding the issue. My issue is not with hellene. Its with hellenism. You are confusing the two and its deliberate. You know exactly that I mean.
Please answer a very easy question. Are all Greeks, right wing and left wing and everything in between, Hellenists not Hellenes.
Are you mistakenly calling hellenists nationalists?
No No No. Its an idea not a political party. Similar to Hitlers idea who wanted to join all the Germanic lands into one. You are pretending not to understand.
I am not pretending anything, get your terminology correct and then we can have a proper discussion.
Hel·le·nist (hl-nst)
n.
1. One in Hellenistic times who adopted the Greek language and culture, especially a Jew of the Diaspora.
2. A devotee or student of Greek civilization, language, or literature.
Are you reffering to something like Pan-Turkism?
I know now the answer. Thanks. Your silence is deafening.
Goodbye.
Why goodbye? What would you like to know about Pan-Turkism?
Pan-Turkism - has no relevance with the discussion on Office of the President of the republic of Cyprus. However Hellenism( Not the quoted dictionary meanings of the word but the idea that Grivas, Makarios and all the other of their ilk who have been using it, meant by it "to unite all the ancient Greek lands") does. TC's voted yes, remember. Particularly if Akel is tainted with that brush as well. This also matters.
Nothing more to be said. My worst fears are unfortunately realised.
Finally Goodbye.
I didn't mean to frighten you
