It is in fact your acquiescence to the τουρκομόγκολοι that is the disgrace.
I have never submitted to aggression by a foreign power occupying a part of MY country. I have empathised with my fellow compatriots the T/Cs and have expressed my concern at their plight way back in the early 60s when extremists from both communities sharing your views caused so much suffering.
You are no different from the Eric Dayes and other T/C extremists , one of a kind ,
Your disgraceful anti Cyprus position is nothing short of treason.
... says the "man" who swears at the Cypriot National Anthem!
It seems to me that for a scientist you have a deficiency in logic.
Let me try once again.
We the Cypriots support the efforts and the position of our RoC government who is committed to one united Cyprus with one nation identity and total independence from either Greece or Turkey.
Does the minute amount of logic that you posses allow you to understand that the national anthem of Greece is utterly inappropriate and not in line with our stated position which is recognized the world over as the RoC AN INDEPENDENT NATION.
Concurring with the Turkish position that there are two people in Cyprus and two states is not exactly conducive to the efforts of the Cypriot people to reunite their island and live in peace with the other communities .
Thank God our RoC foreign diplomats do not share your views !
Regardless of whether a new national anthem makes sense or not, these ROC foreign diplomats will stand to attention every time the national anthem is played in honour of Cyprus. The very same anthem that President Christofias stands to attention to, the very same anthem Afxentiou was probably singing in his head before they firebombed him...the very same anthem you have a responsibility to show respect to while it is the national anthem of your country.
Are you therefore saying that the Greek national anthem IS the appropriate one to have and if so would we expect the T/Cs to stand to attention too . After all we are OFFICIALY an independent nation , we are not a part of Greece .
As for your comments on Afxentiou honouring the Greek anthem , indeed he did and so did I but times have now changed , back then we did not have our own government , currency , passports and IDs neither were we members on our own merit of any international organizations .
Look guys , the fact that I believe Cyprus ought to have ITS own identity in every single aspect does not convey disrespect or respect to any nation it merely conveys the independent spirit that we ought to adopt and go forward .
