I am blaming you for the racist actions you support. Did you see me ever blame Kikapu for the actions of the Turkish Army, the Turkish government of the TC leadership? Never. Because Kikapu, and many other TCs like him, do not support those racist, criminal, illegal actions. They instead openly condemn them. Just like I also condemn any criminal actions against innocent TCs, I condemn the actions of EOKA B and the actions of the cupists.
If I was a racist as you claim, then I would hate and blame every Turkish person just because he is Turkish. But I do not. I blame only the racist like you who support things like racist discrimination, segregation, ethnic cleansing and such grossly racist actions! (then again there are also the uneducated masses who are brainwashed to accept these criminal racist actions as normal. But you claim that you are smart and educated, so you can't have that excuse)
If I was a racist then I would hate anybody who is not Greek or Cypriot. But no, my wife is foreign, I have friends from all kinds of races, I lived in the same dorm room with blacks and Indians and I have friends of every kind of race.
So get your facts straight. I blame you (personally) and racist people like you, because you are the kind of people who were used by the Imperialists in order to divide our island. They told you that you could gain from segregation and racist discriminations and you went along with such racist things because it suited you. They told you that you can have a separate Turkish state in Cyprus by annihilating the 80% of the native population from half of the island, and you thought it was a great idea. Even today you want a "solution" that will be based on segregation and racist discriminations. YOU (personally and people like you) are the racists and the problem of this island.
That is the problem Piratis, you are not even aware of it.
I support nothing but my right to my existence on my own country, not as a minority under some ethnic hegemony but as a free Cypriot which is what I am.
You cannot hijack my identity and then claim that I should live under what YOU think Cyprus is, which you have obtained through violent means.
If you claim autonomy over the island by force then so shall we.
You are racist because you are in denial of these facts and blinded by the imaginary reality that the island is Greek and that you are the rightful owners and that the violence you portray is somehow justified as opposed to ours.
That is not how it works my friends.
The ones who rule the island by force are non else but the Turks. Right from the very begging when they first came to our island up until today.
What we want is freedom and democracy for our island, and you as an equal citizen can have the 100% of your individual human rights, and your one vote just like every other citizen when decisions are taken.
What you have no right for is to forcefully decide what Cyprus is and what isn't, or what Cyprus can or can't do. You are not the Ottoman rulers of Cyprus anymore
If you don't like it that you are an ethnic minority on this island, in the same way that similar ethnic minorities exist in other parts that the Ottomans occupied, then you should blame your ancestors from bringing you here, not blaming us for wanting democracy.
Cyprus has its own unique identity, which is in fact mostly Greek. Greeks are the vast majority of the population and this has been the case for 1000s of years. Nobody denies the elements in our identity which are introduced by non-Greeks. Our identity has been influenced by many others and we fully respect this and we are not trying to change it in any way (in fact the same has happened in mainland Greece and the other Greek islands).
So we are not trying to change anything in our identity. We want Cyprus and Cypriots to be allowed to be what it really is, and this holds true for your community as well, who should be free to maintain and enjoy their unique characteristics, religion and language (something which Turkey did not allow to its own minorities)
It is you who is trying to change what Cyprus is by imposing your will by force, and by using means such as ethnic cleansing, changing the names of our villages, destroying our cultural heritage and trying to falsify our history. Such actions are the best examples of racism, and your inability to accept the mostly Greek influences in the identity of this island is yet another example of your racism against anything Greek not allowing you to see the truth.
