YOU KNOW TURKISH WAS BEING SPOKEIN IN THE SOUTH OF CYPRUS FOR MORE THAN 400 YEARS? SO WHAT? Cannot understand your logic? Just because Greek was being spoken for 3000 years makes Turkish Cypriots obliged to speak Greek????????

Well, certain GC shouldn't have been so arrogant about learning the Greek language.

but why should you expect all GC to speak in English?

Justifications, justifications, justifications...

[garbitsch]

If a Policewoman at the border speaks Greek to Turkish Cypriots, then this has nothing to do with the assumption of "not all G.Cs can speak English". And when I started responding her in Turkish, she suddenly realised that she was able to speak English!!!

And for 4,000 years before the Greek colonisers arrived, a proto-language with origins from the coastal stretches of modern-day southern Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Israel was spoken in Cyprus...

So, we are supposed to sufer because 4,000 years ago, a couple of hundred people in a single part of the island spoke a different language?

As for checkpoints...Garbitsch, does the 'TRNC" still have those stupid 'HOW HAPPY I AM TO BE A TURK' signs up at the checkpoint at Ayios Dhometios?

DID I SUPPORT THAT? You cannot justify policewoman's act with that. Both are ridiculous.
