[The Cypriot]

Everything will be as it should be, when all our trials are over .... They're all pieces of our Hellenic heritage, marbles or Cyprus.

If this is now a piece of Hellenic heritage then it's not just Turkey who stole it:

Symbols of how they want to tear us apart and possess us, bit by bit,

I appreciate your sentiment. Please don't tear me apart from my Lusignan heritage by claiming it's Hellenic.

I am not trying to tear you apart from any heritage. But, the reality is the majority of Cypriots chose to continue in the Hellenic tradition; they neither adopted the language of the Lusignans nor the Catholic religion. Their legacy will always have a place in our history, even if it was for just a few hundred years!

But all these "phases" will pass ....

I should hope not. Here's a Venetian palace in Famagusta which is also a part of stolen Cypriot heritage that is not Hellenic. There are dozens of examples like this.

Although where do you think the word 'flauna' comes from? That famous, distinctly Cypriot (not Hellenic) Easter cake?

nor the Catholic religion.

No. They adopted the religion brought to Cyprus by Saint Paul (a Jew from Tarsus) and Saint Barnabus (also a Jew, a homegrown one). Other parts of the eastern Mediterranean, including Greece, adopted the religion also, after Cyprus.

All Venitians either left Cyprus or converted to Turks, when the Ottomans conquered Cyprus.

Jews of Cyprus became extinct more than a thousand years ago.

Phoenicians more than two thousands years ago.

The TCs will also vanish in a few years...

It seems that GCs are here to stay forever...3500 years and counting!

Is that all? Just 3,500 years? So I guess all Cypriots prior to 1500BC committed mass suicide eh... interesting!

You base too much on the odd word here and there. The English lexicon is comprised of nearly 30% Greek/Greek-origin words, but you don't see the Brits making a song and dance about acquisition of neologisms

[The Cypriot]

Oracle, you are half Greek. No one can ever take that away from you. I wouldn't even try.

I, on the other hand, am wholly Cypriot. No one can ever take that away from me. I wouldn't even try.
