Sorry to break in to your mourning Deniz ... but you are projecting your own views and feelings now.

Perhaps he died happy knowing that the Republic of Cyprus lives on and most of its original members are dutifully trying to restore a healthy republic free from invaders, whom as you've said have denied him the honour of being draped with the flag he designed ....

Funnily enough I discovered this article sent to me by a friend (she wrote it I think).

http://www.thelastdividedcapital.com/20 ... -the-land/

It has a lot of truth and speaks about Ismet Guney.

Mr Guney was a family friend and a teacher of mine in the Turkish Boys Lyce in Nicosia 1958-64. He was a great artist and poet. He also was a keen photographer.

He also fought with his Cypriot compatriots during the Second World War in Palestine and Ancona.

Rest in peace my teacher.

Yes may he rest in peace but it is time to abandon that silly flag and replace it with the true flag of all Hellenes !

Somehow ... I don't think you are being entirely honest with us "The Unifier" ..... :?

You've plastered this Blog all over the forum ......
