Xerokefalos! :roll:


What is it you fail to grasp about the predominance of archaic Greek DNA markers in the general population of the Mediterranean today (Sicily to Spain) ... and the special prevalence between Greeks and Cypriots?

Yep, you can take GR's word for it or you can read what world renown encyclopedias and academics say:

What abt u? Do u consider EOKA as liberation fighter and ur national heroes?



Are you trying to catch me out, insan? They fought for liberty and union with Greece. I admire them for fighting for liberty but the liberty that was secured from the British in 1960 was not union with Greece and it certainly wasn't true liberty. Perhaps Cyprus wasn't ready for true liberty then.

The question is, is she ready now? And if not, when insan? When?

I already mentioned two.

Dervis Ali Kavazoglu and Kostas Mishiaoulis. Who died for friendship between Cypriots.
The singer Michalis Terlikkas
The poet Dimitris Lipertis.


Thx for ur reply. I just want to know u better and analyze ur Cypriotness just for my knowledge.

So what do u think abt TMT? Don't u like any poets or singers of the Turkish speaking Cypriots?

Read what you wrote again, insan. And put yourself in my shoes. How can I possibly know what you're talking about.

which thread.... which "cypriot" or cypriots?

Oracle, I’m a man of facts & figures which is why I never read novels or watch movies, so what archaic Greek DNA markers and green horses are you talking about gori? Have you any idea how many times the Slavic people had overrun the ancient Greeks? :roll:
