Cyprus's heart must be very heavy having to be denied the right to exist as a nation in its own merit. Strangely enough all international organizations from the UN to the EU recognise Cyprus as an independent country with its own unique identity. Our passports IDs , foreign embassies all have the Cypriot entity yet those that deny Cyprus its divine right of statehood are confused Cypriots who are themselves in denial of their real identity.
LONG LIVE THE CYPRUS E T H N O S !
There is no such thing as a Cypriot ETHNOS.
There is a Cypriot state of which we are proud members but 82% of this state is ethnically Greek.
Just like 98% of the Austrian population is German yet they are still proud to be Austrians.

Get over this insecurity because you're overcompensating by creating things that simply are not there. I am proud to be a Cypriot, swore my allegiance to the Republic of Cyprus when I did my service and follow the Cypriot National football team religiously (threw the last one in for good measure). BUT I AM NOT ETHNICALLY CYPRIOT SAME AS AN AUSTRIAN IS NOT ETHNICALLY AUSTRIAN.
BTW naturally I voted for option 1
whereas the Greek ETHNOS is a reality whereby Greeks come from the Ancient Greeks??Isnt it??
If you are proposing you are ethnically Greek then by all means entertain me by giving me a defenition of what it means to be ethnically Greek
You wanna quit hiding behind other nick's and you can take my arguments apart any day you like. While you're hiding though I suggest you shut the hell up.
