Thieving Turks fill our Island with dumb Settlers and remove our intelligent lovely donkeys to replace their missing Anatolians, back in Turkey!

Talk about changing the demographics


"Mehmet Demirci, mayor of Dipkarpaz, or Rizokarpaso in Greek, in the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north, says donkeys outnumber villagers by 2 to 1 and should be forcibly sterilized, or even expelled to Turkey."

Poor thing. Do you feel left out?

We love our Albanian descended donkeys. Brought to Cyprus during the Napoleonic wars. They were known for their strength and sturdyness. The Albanians donkey herders also formed part of the later TC population of Cyprus. There are people with Albanian grand parents dotted around the Pentadaktylan region. I have fond memories of Arnavut Mustafa or Hasan. Now indistinguishable from the average Cypriot. (just a bit uglier and shorter ). Then beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

"Hoping to capitalize on the frustration, one Turkish businessman offered to buy several of the donkeys at 1,000 euros per head, and put them to tourism-related work in Antalya, Turkey."

Well if they are short of labourers then they should be taking their Settlers back to Turkey to work, not stealthily stealing our donkeys ....

Oh dear. "Tourism related work" sounds very suspicious. Is one of the National Symbols to be butchered, cooked and put on plates at tourist restaurants?

You did not pick it up, but these donkeys are settlers too.

That's because you are completely wrong in your Napoleonic statement. Most of the larger Mediterranean islands had donkeys from thousands of years ago.

"Cypriot Donkey
Also known as the “Mercedes of Donkeys”; its distinguishably characterized by its exemplary long ears and a very friendly personality trait. Due to its almost professional and highly developed work trait and energetic health this Cypriot donkey are highly regarded and valued in different places like in Ottoman Syria and Palestine . It is not clear when the Cypriot donkey exactly emerged as a different and separate breed. It is clear, however, that it is markedly different from the common and more ordinary donkey of the Levant ."

"The earliest phase of the Bronze age (Philia-facies) saw a rapid transformation of technology and economy. Urn-burials of children were used for the first time, as well as rectangular buildings, the plough, the warp-weighted loom and clay pot stands. Cattle was reintroduced, together with the donkey. Marki Alonia is the best excavated settlement of this period.

In the Bronze Age the first cities, like Enkomi, were built. Systematic copper mining began, and this resource was widely traded. The early Cypriot period is synchronous with the end of the EBA in Tarsus (Cilicia) ca. 2.600 BC cal."

If they export all the donkeys it will mean the National Guard will no longer have to worry about their condom shortage!

In that case I might have been misinformed. But I clearly read about the transfer from the Albanian mountains of donkeys during the Napoleonic period. I did not say none existed in Cyprus. The current ones must have derived from the mixture of both. Its a ity I no longer am in posession of my original source.
