Allow a 62 year old Cypriot to offer his utmost respect to you my dear compatriot and to all those young and old Cypriots who through love of their country and motherland , Cyprus, have joined together in efforts to forget the past , look to the future and hope for the day when our nation is united and free from foreign troops.
There are many on this forum whose only mission is the reverberation of the nastiness that firstly divided our people , whose only goal is to see our island gifted to foreign countries , but there are many who like myself are proud Cypriots who call Cyprus our motherland and all its people our brothers and sisters.
With the utmost respect , and here is my full name
Yiannis Miltiades Savvides




"Come my dear...Nice of you to visit us....Dodger...Show NIl how to make kerchiefs......We also make purses my dear....".......

What ?


:roll:


He thinks you're Fagin Milt. :lol:


You've got to pick a pocket or two Miltiades...... :evil:

You are making no sense mate , a bit like your blind obsession with the past !!!
Isn't it encouraging to know that there are so many T/Cs who do not share your views , they do share mine though !!



I am a man that has had his rights and a 30% share of CYprus taken away from me by force Miltaides.....You ask me to forget about it...OK deal....As log as you forget about the 37% that I now hold......Fair is fair....I'l tell you what I can do for you......How about I give you 7% off.....You can have 7% back and then we will be equal........



You can surround ourself with all the cronies you like Miltiades if it makes you feel more secure...Shame you do not want to hear what the real TCs want....... :roll: The response I got from All the TCs I spoke to....Biz neyik!!!!!!That is the truth mate...If you want to feel all comfy in your own little world then go ahead.....

First and foremost you can not give back what does not belong to you but it belongs to all Cypriot people , your rights are there for the taking mate as a citizen of the ONLY REPUBLIC that is the RoC ,which you and the other ....true T/Cs such as Big AL , Eric Daye and all other extremists , do not recognize in contradiction to every single International organization.
My own little comfy world contains a substantial amount of T/Cs much more than your corrupt , unrecognised , occupied part of my Cyprus .
When the Turkish invaded Cyprus they raped all of Cyprus not just the part that is now under their direct rule but all of Cyprus.

The true T/Cs are those that see the very existence of the T/C in jeopardy and they want to do something about it , like our young friends we have recently seen.
The existence and legality of the RoC IS QUESTIONED BY NONE , ONLY THE OCCUPYING NATION . THE TURKISH CYPRIOTS WHO CARRY THE CYPRIOT ID AND PASSPORT WILL CONFIRM THAT THE ROC IS RECOGNISED WORLD WIDE !


As I said....Your own little world........ :roll: :lol:

Yes mate , my own little world of just under a million Cypriots as against your tiny one and very unreal. I mean just take a look at the way you describe the RoC , ADDING INVERTED COMMAS !!! Yet the UN , the EU and every single international entity does not .Now tell me who is living in cloud cuckoo land !

This echoes the sentiment contained in one of many gems to be found in the book with the original title of "Büyükelçiler Anlatıyor", published in 2007 (ISBN 978—9944-88-033-6), in which researcher Gül İnanç interviewed a number of Turkey's former ambassadors to Cyprus. The interviews were all taped.

On page 106 of this book, İnal Batu, who served as Turkey's ambassador in Nicosia in the period 1979-1984, says:

ORIGINAL

Kıbrıs sorunu bence çözüldü zaten. Bir Kıbrıslınının kuzey’de yaşaması ne fark eder? Avrupa vatandaşı nihayetinde. Kıbrıs sorunu böylece halloldu ve Türk politikaları açısından her şey iflas etti. Biz, “Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti bütün Kıbrıs’ın temsilcisi değil” diyoruz ama, Türklerin çoğu o ülkenin pasaportunu alarak, onların bütün Ada’nın temsilcisi olduğunu kabul etmiş olmuyorlar mı? Bir Kıbrsılı Türkün Rum pasaportunu alması “Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti”ni tanıması demektir. Sayın Denktaş’ın torunu da buna dahil. O devleti tanımıyorlar mı şimdi onlar? Larnaka’dan Avrupa’ya gitmiyorlar mı ya da iş olanaklarından yararlanmıyorlar mı? Ne farkları var AB vatandaşı Rumlardan?


TRANSLATION:

In any case, I think the Cyprus problem has been solved. What difference does it make for a Cypriot to live in the north? They are EU citizens at the end of the day. The Cyprus problem has thus been solved and, as far as Turkish policies are concerned, there is total bankruptcy. We say, “The Republic of Cyprus is not the representative of the whole of Cyprus”, but do the majority of Turks in acquiring that country’s passport not recognise them as the representative of the whole island? The acquisition of a Greek Cypriot passport by a Turkish Cypriot is tantamount to recognition of the “Republic of Cyprus”. Mr Denktash’s grandson is among them. Do they not now recognise that state? Do they not go from Larnaca to Europe or benefit from business opportunities? What is the difference between them and EU-citizen Greek Cypriots?

And still they go HOME to the TRNC.....Funny that...

The issue is of need Tim....The extremists hated this fact but I love it...It allows us to escape the siege on us and feed our families....There is nothing more to it than that....Do the GCs that cross over to the TRNC do so because they recognise it...Don't give me that rubbish that they are free to go where they like because they have to show papers to the TRNC authorities.....If hey objected then they should not cross......Like me!!!!
