In the context of some recent pathetic attempts to brand a fellow forumer a ‘traitor’ based on the pure fabrication that he is supposed to have married a Turk, it is interesting to note that a television series named Yabancı Damat/Τα σύνορα της αγάπης which revolves around the trials and tribulations of a Greek man and a Turkish woman who wish to get married enjoyed great success in both Greece and Turkey. The fact that this series was such a hit in both countries suggests to me that old taboos are on the verge of disappearing. My advice to died-in-the-wool chauvinists in both countries who cannot stomach the prospect of marriages between Greeks and Turks, such as the real life marriage between Tugce Kazaz and George Seitaridis (pictured below), is that we are living in Europe at the start of the 21st century, and it is in keeping with modern European values that two people who wish to do so may marry regardless of their nationalities. So you can like it or lump it. Or else emigrate to Paraguay and seek out the company of the few remaining geriatric Nazis there with whom you have more in common than you do with contemporary Western civilisation.

I wish them all the luck and happiness in the world but advise them not let themselves be used as political pawns. This has never been between the ordinary people of Cyprus but a political one.

An interesting and touching story. Thanks, Halil.

Responses like the above demonstrate that Greeks and Turks cannot be considered as one nation, each has his own culture and beliefs whether political or religious. The opening post by Drayton just shows that in our dreams we can possibly mix but when the dream is over and wake up we soon realise the impossibility.

And symbolic (see above photo) is who will always come between them.

The reality is not about starting relationships because we 'fall in love', but how sustainable relationships are when love's glow has faded, and only what one has in common with a partner, can be used to sustain the relationship.

For 'life' can be a very long time .....
