See the problems caused by speaking Turkish, instead of a decent language

Here you have a decent, educated TC who wants to do the right thing

Get Real, thank you for your support...I know that I will face these type of obstacles on the road of working in south. However, these can not discourage my intention to work there and to merge with GCs.
By the way, can I take what you wrote as a compliment?

I wasn't born yesterday Tommy, there is nothing more civilized and honorable than your posts and for this I love and respect you. Please continue the struggle for our country and yourself because Cyprus needs more people like you...

[Tommy27]

I became speechless, thank you so much again.

PLEASE don't be like that. Here you have a decent, educated TC who wants to do the right thing and is that all you can come up with??? Please don't!

.. and yet on another thread, you pour scorn on Sotos' suggestion to use Greek as a common language.

You see Greek as a useless and dying language for commerce etc.; and I see Turkish as such.

In your rush to appear self-righteous, do not mix up a comment on the "language", with an appraisal of the speaker ..... who is not TC, btw, but Turkish ... and who was born and grew up in Ankara!

(Not that I have anything against Turks, coming here legally - but I don't know his relevant details [i.e. Settler or other?] - just pointing out to you, your "misplaced" brotherly love )

Also, don't disdain Turkish speaking settlers. They forced to settle this island. Also, they just wanted to live with higher standards. I know that it is a bad thing to settle on the lands which you don't have but they found a hole and penetrated just to live better.
By the way, I was also born and grew up in Ankara, Turkey.

Now they are "Turkish speaking settlers" .... whatever next!

Oracle, you know what I like in south? For example while shopping or in a good restaurant or even while I'm driving...The countenance of astonishment! I like to see GC's faces while I am talking Turkish loudly. Their eyes exactly say: 'he can't be Turkish, how nice, he seems good looking and smart, how he can be Turkish?
The reason of that: GC does not expect that Turks can be civilized, modern and intelligent.
Also, don't disdain Turkish speaking settlers. They forced to settle this island. Also, they just wanted to live with higher standards. I know that it is a bad thing to settle on the lands which you don't have but they found a hole and penetrated just to live better.
By the way, I was also born and grew up in Ankara, Turkey. I am one of the rare person that Turkiye is written on his Kypriaki Dimokratia ID card. More than ten years, I am living in Cyprus and I feel that I am Cypriot. If I even manage to increase the average of Turkish people over GCs, if I can contribute the belief of GCs that Turkish people are good, I am happy. I got many Greek and GC friends.
Even you do accept it or not, Turkish is one of Cyprus's culture aspect. But being provocative is in your soul.
Thank you for ideas anyway.

I take it you consider your self to be a Cypriot , although one born in Turkey , and would therefore be entitled to unemployment benefits , how long you have to actually be a resident in the RoC I do not know , but do not feel as if you were a stranger in your own country . The RoC is the country of all Cypriots , including my daughter who is half English, born in England just as thousands and thousands of Cypriots , but nevertheless enjoys all the benefits the Republic offers. Be brave and seek a position where you can also learn , since you want to, the Greek language. Come the day of reunification people such as you will be in an advantageous position speaking Turkish , Greek and English.

You have my best wishes

He said he was born and grew up in Ankara, Turkey, (lest we think it's a renamed Cypriot village ) ... so at what point to you give him "TC" status?

Either way, his views on the Settlers are treasonous to the RoC IMHO, as he fully endorses their (Turkish) colonisation of Cyprus.

I doubt we will get a full confession out of him, if he is a Settler, as I sense he would like to be accepted as a "Turkish speaking Cypriot" ... as I am sure they all would! It's the loopholes they can worm through into getting the full Rights (Cypriot ID card etc) that "native" TCs enjoy, which may need to be tightened.

Also this throwaway comment of his ...

If I even manage to increase the average of Turkish people over GCs,

..... reeks of the change in demographics they are instigating!

[Tommy27]

I won't get involve these all classical and routine discussions between TCs-GCs and settlers in all around Cyprus (Turkish, Armenian, Kurdish, Georgian, Russian...) I respect them all and for me an individual is important.

As I asked you before, I just wanna work in Lefkosia south, and improve my Greek. I'm still looking for, if someone helps me about this, I will be appreciated. Thank you.

[Tommy27]

P.S: Both of my parents are TC, roots are coming from Galinoporni and Mora villages but because of my parents work, I was born in capital of Turkey, Ankara. So, this information hits anybody who has some doubts about I am Cypriot.
Anyway, Is any HR newspaper publishing in RoC?
