To PETCALLEDROS:

In your opening remarks you said most cypriot or Greek fascists hate Turks. Please define what you mean by Cypriot or Greek Fascists ? Also why would Turkish Cypriots hate Turks ?

Hate may be too strong a word, but the results of a survey into the attitudes of 10-13 year old Turkish Cypriot children conducted under the auspices of the UN -
http://www.csca.org.cy/unops/files/Muha ... tative.pdf
- reveals that nearly half (44.4%) of respondents admitted to disliking Turkish people from Turkey either a lot or a little.

So why indeed would they dislike them?

whyw ould they but i know a turkush cypriot girl she hates the turks and she likes greek more.. i used to go to uni with another who felt the same.... and what about those kids who wrote allover the walls get out turks????????????????

I guess all those TCs must be racists for 'disliking' the Turks so much

I always used to wonder why Viewpoint always wrote hateful comments about Pakistanis and now it all makes sense ...

VP is a 10 - 13 year old racist

... But seriously, there can't be many Pakistanis in the occupied territory surely? ....

So, where do these kids get the notion to dislike Pakistanis, if they have never interacted with them?

One of Turkey's past ambassadors to Cyprus complained that institutionalised racism was practised against Turkish nationals in the north of Cyprus.

In all earnestness, but not being a Child Psychologist, I wonder what is behind these kids saying they dislike a particular group of people?

It could just be 'peer' pressure following some fashion which decides what is cool and what is uncool ... and the common link I see from your (interesting) table is that the most disliked Nationals are from Muslim associated countries (i.e. not cool to kids).

Should of made that more clear: Greek Cypriot Fascists and Greek Fascist hate Turks. Is that more clear?

Do you know what a fascist is ? Mussolini has been dead since 1945.

This table deserves a thread on its own. I thought VP and Zan speak on behalf of all TC's?
