Because Pahitoui is an EOKA-B arsehole that's why!


He covered that one with ....

(a) I'm Turkish Cypriot who is happy to adopt Cypriotism but not at the expense of my Turkish Culture and Inheritance.

... saliently the same!

What are you stupid or something? Are these two the same?


Essentially, they are the same. Explain how they are NOT!



For Oracle to be correct you need to take out the WORD NOT.

Can someone tell me exactly what the TC's and the GC's were called under the British Rule before the 1960 independence of Cyprus, please.!

If the “Turkish Culture and Inheritance” is NOT expendable then how can it possibly be the same as denouncing it???


By the very act of not viewing it as expendable, one does not denounce it, hence saliently the same in this context ... unless you are an arsehole who does not expend nor denounce his false position!

Image Sorry Oracle, but its English 01 for you…

de•nounce

1. To condemn openly as being evil or reprehensible. See Synonyms at criticize.
2. To accuse formally.
3. To give formal announcement of the ending of (a treaty).

I now ask… is it possible to denounce something (in this case Turkishness) yet retain it?

I think you are being rude to Halil and this is someone you had the pleasure of meeting (or am i mistaken?). He gave you his honest opinion and i would say the vast overwhelming majority of the TCs agree with him.

GR
I'm Turkish Cypriot who is happy to adopt Cypriotism and WILL HAPPILY DENOUNCE TURKISHNESS!”


i.e WILL GIVE UP or REJECT TURKISHNESS

a) I'm Turkish Cypriot who is happy to adopt Cypriotism but not at the expense of my Turkish Culture and Inheritance.


i.e WILL NOT GIVE UP or REJECT TURKISHNESS

Not quite the same - Sorry to say but GR is correct only on this one !!

I've called Halil far worse than that! :lol: In fact I've been too nice to him lately... :?

More than he deserves anyway...

The question was not about 'retaining' it ... but at the 'expense' of which is akin to 'denouncing' it ... Perhaps your Aussie English dialect is self-limiting!

You think they're TCs in this forum who see Turkishness as being evil or reprehensible? You are truly living in a dream world. Is there any TC who agrees with GR? Is any TC here going to denounce their Turkishness to adopt Cypriotism?
