Viewpoint, would you like to meet up for a coffee somewhere in Nicosia...so I could beat the sh!t out of you for being a manipulative and lieing little prick...?

As for GC not knowing musch Turkish...well, work out the precentage of GC to TC and then use some common sense for once.

Main source,
Everyone understands where viewpoint stands ideologically on the issue of Cyprus. That however doesn't give you the right to invite someone in order to beat him /her, simply becasue you find their ideas unacceptable.

I have often heard that pre 74 if you wanted a good job in Cyprus then you needed to be able to speak Greek and/ or English. Is this true?

Yes this is true but in most cases even that was not enough.

I have also heard that very few GC's spoke Turkish. is this true?

Yes, even though majority of tc spoke greek

When I was younger there was a TC living in Archway who could only speak Greek. He was from Erenkoy.
Were there any other villages where this also happened?

Yes, mainly around Limassol if memory does not serve wrong and mixed villages where tc were only a few.

Mr brother

Thank you very much indeed

Your first answer begs another question.

Why?

Can you remember what it felt like learning Turkish?

Thanks again

suetoniuspaulinus you have to understand the mindset of the time, GCs felt they were superior to TCs and Cyrpus was a Greek island so it was not necessary for them to learn Turkish but TCs had to converse with GCs out of necessity for daily transactions, so they had to learn Greek, you can draw you own conclusions.

Viewpoint, why do you dismiss the idea that, because GCs were a numerical majority, there was less of a need to learn to speak the language of the minority? Surely, you can understand what I'm saying.

P.S.: well done for not even responding to Main_Source's BS.

And who are you to have such a right? Upon what authority will you act?

Do you know any single country in the world that has such a population ratio difference, that exactly the same thing does not occur?

Thank you..

what do you suggest I say to crap like this? provoking and mindless.. Pirates wants to shoot us in the head, Micatwhatever supriority complex belittling attitude spouts verbal diarrhea and this brainless lowlife wants to kick my head in. Is this normal behaviour for GCs when someones has ideas which oppose theirs?? ı am trying very hard to ignore their insulting comments but theres a limit to everything.

Well in Switzerland, I think Swiss people can speak their country's three official languages. Also, in Belgium the French is widely used by people living in Brussels, although Dutch speakers are more populated than the French citizens...
