New Bayrak administration decided not to use Turkish Cypriot or Cypriot words on their programmes.

It can be used Cyprus Turks instead of Turkish Cypriot .

who cares what our administration decision . I am a Turkish Cypriot and i am proud of using the word for my identification .

forbidden words are :
Turkish Cypriot (Kıbrıslı Türk)
Cypriot(Kıbrıslı)
and This country is our .(Bu memleket bizim)

This the policy of the UBP .

Well Halil, what can I say to you my friend, who used to be a TC but will be know from now on as a CT. It was only a matter of time before it came down to this, which is not finished with by the way, not until you are forced to call yourselves "TURKS"...full stop.! But the writing was on the wall for a very long time, but you just chose to ignore it, just because you thought you were going to be your own EFENDI in the north.!

First you were forced to change your names so that it had a lot of the Anatolian flavours to it, so that the TC's would be assimilated into the settlers much easier, which you did not complain at all. Now you are being told you are no longer a Turkish Cypriot, but a Cyprus Turk, and then will come being, just Turk. So much for all your posts telling us that the settlers were becoming more TC than the TC's themselves. Boy, did you ever fool yourself by believing such rubbish. Then you told us that you have a democracy in the north, but come election time, all the political parties were bribing people with money to vote for them and in the end, the majority votes were cast by the settlers masquerading as TC's, which made the true TC's not to have a voice any longer, which you did not complain again.

Maybe this is what you meant by saying that the settlers were becoming more of a TC then the TC’s themselves.!! No, the settlers have not become more of a TC, but rather, they have become MORE than the TC’s.! Then you told us that you had freedom of the press and anyone can write what ever they wanted, but now your new bosses tell you, you cannot use the term Turkish Cypriot or Cypriot any longer, and once again, you will not complain and will do as you been told. So much for the freedom of the press that prohibits you from acknowledging your own existence, just like when you were forced to change your name. Do you have anymore bad news Halil, or is this it.? Well, the bad news is not over really, because you are being prepared for the "slaughter house" to strip you of your identity once and for all of ever being a Cypriot, which wont be too long now.! When will you start to complain to your bosses that you do not wish to lose your Cypriot heritage for what ever amount of money they are giving you, to do just that..????

Goodbye Turkish Cypriotism.!!!

Translate Kıbrıslı Türk....and you will find the answer.

What about it.? It means Cypriot Turkish (Turk) and not Cyprus Turkish (Turk). In order for it to mean Cyprus Turkish (Turk), you would have to write Kibris Türk, therefore, there is a difference between Kibris and Kibrisli. Kibris means Cyprus and Kibrisli means Cypriot. When did you ever had to tell another Turkish speaking person that you were a Kibrisli Türk, never, because the fact that you are speaking in Turkish, the word "Türk" after Kibrisli is redundant, is it not.? So what is your point.?

Don't kid yourself Kiks, governments do not change the people, people change the governments.

This applies only for democratic countries, not pseudostates and dictatorships like Turkey and the "trnc".

Ironically enough if you read press reports from the 50's Greek and Turkish cypriots were referred to as Cyprus Greeks and Cyprus Turks...I wonder if history is repeating itself.

So if we're not allowed to call Yfred a Turkish Cypriot are we ok to call him a Turkish Idiot?

Ditto!

Welcome to the lunatic world of DT Kurubetragi, the straight jacket is over there put it on yourself and sit next to DT over there, now there's a good boy. The nurse will be along in a minute with medication for both of you.

You greeks are something else. In another thread it was governments change but nothing else does, Ankara is in control. And now that it has it is also wrong. I suspect Eroglu has got the tiger by the tail just like Denktas did for all those years. You will never learn. Next time when Eroglu runs a referendum on Independence or Joining Turkey, what ever the vote you can take a pseudostatic hike old boy.

Halil, do you remember this song and when it was played.

YFred, out of curiosity, what relationship a leftist partisan song may possibly have with a proud Turkish nationalist like you? What relationship quasi-fascist Turkish kemalist nationalism may possibly have with leftist ideologies in general, when in fact leftism has almost completely been eradicated and banned from Turkish soil by the kemalist military-deep state bureaucracy? You people do not seem to know what you support and what you preach!

Nationalist I am not. This song was able to mobiles 60000 TCs outside the presidential palace which led to the crossings opening. Leftist dead, my arse. 60000 is quite a percentage in TRNC. And yes we are not like the leftist akel whores who sold themselves for power to TP for years , kept him in power and delayed the negotiations until the patience of the TCs run out.
Kifeas you are probably the best GC after Bana amd Milti on this forum, but you do get your knickers in a twist regularly about TCs.

Halil, think about your job!

Luckily the UBP is not computer literate!

I hope so for Halil's sake! and others in that office!

When we had no posts from Halil for about a week, I must confess that I began to worry.[/quo

Tim i was away from Cyprus thats why u did not hear anything from me . Sunday morning i will fly to France and i will return back on 26 th june .

Firts of all above desicion is only taken by the head of BRT directors non of our reporters all following it .u are the one who can follow and understand what the press is saying in north .no one cares everyone writes what ever they wants.These are the policies of the organizations .
like saying Greek Cypriots leader , President Talat ,''TRNC'', ''ROC'' etc....etc..... depends how u look at the events or how they wanna be !

this time adminstration policy is different than old ones .

below news how comes from the Turkish Cypriots press sources ...same report will be different if it was on GC's press .

A TRILATERAL MEETING INVOLVING TALAT,CHRISTOFIAS AND BARROSO MIGHT BE ON AGENDA

The Leader of the Greek Cypriot Administration Demetris Christofias has come up with an offer to President Mehmet Ali Talat, inviting him to join his working dinner or lunch with the EU Commission’s President Jose Manuel Barroso next week.

The Commission President prepares for an official visit to Cyprus where the latest developments concerning the Cyprus negotiations process will be high on agenda.
If President Talat accepts the offer, a trilateral meeting will be held on the Cyprus issue, involving the EU.

Mr. Christofias has held a series of meetings with EU leaders including Jose Manuel Barroso, as part of his visit to Brussels for the EU Summit.
He held a press conference to evaluate his contacts in the EU’s capital.
Referring to Barroso’s upcoming visit to Cyprus, Mr. Christofias said he will have the opportunity to discuss the Cyprus problem with the Commission President more extensively during a tete-a-tete meeting next week.

Also touching upon his meeting with the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Christofias said that he would probably pay a visit to London in a near future for a broader discussion with Brown on the Cyprus problem.

Halil, what are the directors of Bayrak?

Are they Turrkish Cypriots?

Cypriot Turks?

Settlers?

Turkish?.or

Other?

You do not have to answer if your job is at stake. After all this is democrasy North Cyprus style. Younever know who is watching.

Halil, I'm disappointed in you again, really.! All this time when you referred to Talat as a President and Christofias as GC leader, I was under the impression that it was forced on you by your bosses, but now you tell us, that it is the personal view of the reporter, and since you also hold the same views as them, then you are no better than your bosses, because what you are saying now is, that you will ignore your bosses demand that you do not call yourself a TC any longer, but a Cyprus Turk instead, but you are not prepared to call Christofias a President, when the whole world calls him a President. You do however call Talat a President just because your bosses demand that you do, when the rest of the world call him Mr. Talat or leader of the TC's. Just how much more hypercritical can you get. Are you that ignorant of the world around you or what, or that you are just a another nationalist who is willing to do what he is being told as long as it only effects others, but when it becomes to punishing your identity, you are willing to stick to your beliefs. Halil my friend, if you are not prepared to come to the need of others, don’t expect them to come to your need. Don’t be surprised if the GC’s will take the pleasure in calling all the TC’s a Cyprus Turks from now on, or better yet, just Turks.! This should make your bosses very happy I would imagine.

[Viewpoint]

sorry I'm a little new at this but if I understand correctly the news came out that Eroglu is banning the terms Turkish Cypriot and Cypriot in the occupied territories...and some people who I assume are Turkish Cypriot are happy about this?

why?

The newly elected nationalist party UBP will make changes this only means that the national TV BRT will not use the words mentioned in the original post by Halil, this does not mean Turkish Cypriots will adopt the same.

Don’t you think that introducing such changes to a mass media channel such as the BRT is a prelude of things to come?

NO the head of BRT changes in accordance with the government which come and go.

[Viewpoint]

What moron TC would tell another Turkish speaking person in Turkish, that they are Kibrisli Türk.

You clearly appear to be the moron here as this is like it or not a regular saying in the TRNC, so dont try to explain it away with your usual word manipulation, we live here allow us to know whatit said you have never come to the TRNC so you dont know jack shit. Just another reason to believe you are not a TC.

Ever heard of British Cypriot, British Pakistani or British African ethnic origins are also used in the UK.

Just another reason to believe you are not a TC.

Well now, it appears that my Turkish is better than yours, doesn't it.?

Ever heard of British Cypriot, British Pakistani or British African ethnic origins are also used in the UK

Don't mix apples and oranges, even though I know you can't tell the difference between the two, but that is no excuse for your ignorance.! Stick with the topic.

When a Pakistani who happens to be British also, does not tell another Pakistani that he is a British Pakistani when they introduce themselves to each other, because it is obvious that he is a Pakistani. When you talk with another TC in Turkish, do you say to them that you are a Cypriot Turkish (Kibrisli Türk) as a way to introduce yourself to them, no, because they know that you are a Cypriot (Kibrisli). Even the settlers are smarter than you, that they too do not need to be told that you are a Kibrisli Türk, because they can tell from your bastardised Turkish accent that you are a Kibrisli (Cypriot), which they look down on you as being inferior.

May well be the reason why you want to become a Turk, to give yourself a little boost to your battered inferiority complex all these years that the settlers have been in Cyprus. I got a news for you, VP. You may put a race horse saddle on a donkey, but it will not make it into a race horse, and the same with you. You may chance your status to being a Turk from a Cypriot, but you will still be a "donkey" in the eyes of the settlers.!!

Hee-haw, Hee-haw, Hee-haw, Hee-haw, Hee-haw, Hee-haw.!

What are you trying to prove?? I live in the TRNC and we say we are Kıbrıslı Türk in every day life no big thing, what are you so upset about? whats it to you?

We are not the ones claiming to be a race horse thats the "RoC" we know what we are and proud of it but you seem to have more trouble accepting the new generation Turkish Cypriots in the TRNC than we do...you are best off never returning to face your biggest fear the TC people old and new generations living in harmony in the TRNC.

I know its very difficult for you but can you try and refrain from being rude and throwing insults or else I will be forced to reply in the same if not worse manner.
