and here is me thinking it was Greek Cypriot land not Greek, unless it had already been signed over to Athens by the N Sampson et al

Greeks of Cyprus do not need the approval of mainland Greece in order they state their land as Greek. They are Greeks themselves and regardeless of mainland Greece.

re kotsiropoule, if you gonna stupid things, the least you can do is say them proprrly in a stupid around of a way...you are not a greek...coz greeks come from greece...you are a hellenic...not that I subscribe to any of the myths mind you...

Hellas became Greece out of ottomans calling all of us Grecos.therefore your point not valid/. the meaning actually is not the same , you are right, but 95 per cent of foreigners know us as Greeks (despite we are citizens of Greece or Cyprus)/ I can not be blamed for this.

I think the ottomans/turks differentiated...rum, romios, and something different for us...yunan?...can't remember...but hey feel free piggy backing on others history...

In the Turkish Language, the word YUNAN, refers to those from Greece. Perhaps derived from the word 'Ionian'. All other Greek speakers where 'RUM' or 'Romios'.

Thanks Deniz, I got it ass about...

The real question is when did we become, yunans?...

I prefer rum... ....and not necessarily for the same reason...

Yunan of course is the most correct name Greeks had ever from Turks.Rum or Romios related to early Byzantium years when the Empire was Roman.Despite Yunanistan is sounds like Afhanistan its meaning its the most accurate.

but when did a rum become a yunan?...this is the crust of the matter...

Must have been after 1821.


Cretans were also RUM.

they too want independence...funny huh?...

Taking this opportunity on this cetain subject i want to put down one of my deep impressions about the Turks.at least these leading the army in Ankara , some main politicians (Not of present government) and particularly many Turks living in Istanbul.

I am visiting Turkey frequently and i have always the deep impression that many of those people guiding this country have Greek roots.Do not take it as joke. I have many Turks as frinds or business cooperators and many times i have been surprised from their private actions (religion related) and facelooking. If someone walk in the Pera area (Souleimanoglou) and look to people passing he will realise that faces are different - There are people looking exactly like Greeks and people looking like Mongolians or their skin is of lightly of different color as well as the diagram of their faces.Many of them surprised me on their behavor when they feel friently with you and freely to express their feelings.
I am almoast sure that Greeks in general ,are fighting themselves in various aspects of the two countries relations.!!!!1

He is Rumi. Meaning he is from the land or RUM (Roman). RUM is what Turkey was called.

A lot of Turks are of Balkan descent. One of our most famous actress, Neriman Koksal was Roumanian. Kenan Pars was Armenian(Fella). Turkey is a melting pot; just like what the UK is becoming.

It doesn't matter what people look like ... brothers and sisters can look completely different (even with the same dad ) ... the differences can be stark.

In the end, it is the behaviour of individuals, and worse when like-minded ones band together, which dictates how they should be treated.
