Please explain why you believe free Cypriots, in the EU, in the 21st century, are more likely to be responsible for "ethnic nepotism" than any other citizens of the EU. Why you deserve more protection than any other people have in any other part of the free world?

What sinister agenda are you imagining? Do you imagine, free Cypriots, in the EU, in the 21st century – with the rest of the EU and the whole world watching – will march you to the gas chambers?
Can't you see your cry of 'sinister agenda' is viewed by far more people, by the rest of the world, as the excuse Turkey uses to keep hold of the north?
Honestly, shahmaran. Can't you see this?

That era was a whole generation ago. So much has happened to the free part of Cyprus since then. The Cypriot people have elected a "communist". Hear that? A "
communist"! Who a generation ago was a far bigger enemy, a far greater threat than the Turk.
What more evidence do you need that things in Cyprus have changed. TOTALLY.
shahmaran wrote:What happened from then on is another matter, but never the less does not make the cause of the initial actions taken any less relevant, which definitely must be considered when working on an agreement.
Yes. But this works both ways - if you insist in looking at things in terms of 'sides' rather than in terms of what is right and what is wrong; what is now and what was then.
You insist on Turkey's army remaining in Cyprus, on having intervention rights in Cyprus, when it was responsible for crimes against humanity in Cyprus. How can you expect anyone in their right minds to accept this?
shahmaran wrote:So the army stays until we find a just solution that does not disregard our justice, as it has been the case for the past 35 years.
Every day the army remains is another day of injustice for the people of Cyprus, as a whole. 35 years and counting.
shahmaran wrote:We are being punished for something that is out of our control.
Now you are making sense. We, the Cypriot people, as a whole, are being punished for something out of our control.
Only, it is in our control now. For the
whole world accepts an agreement BY and FOR Cypriots. For if we speak with one voice, and demand, as the president demands, that Turkey's army go, then the pressure on Turkey to do so would be ovewhelming. And the Cyprus problem would be no more.
shahmaran wrote:It clearly shows how bias the EU and the UN have been treating this matter and it is really naive for you to expect that we would accept a solution only based up on the requirements of the same bodies that have been punishing us unjustly for decades.
You think Cypriots now living in the south and elsewhere haven't been punished for 35 years too, shahmaran? By the EU, UN, US and by whoever else has refused to lift a finger to remove a foreign army
legally obliged to restore the territorial integrity and independence of Cyprus?
Don't you get it? The rest of the world isn't biased. The rest of the world doesn't give a shit.
shahmaran wrote:It is just not going to happen, either the world recognizes what REALLY happened here and finds a solution accordingly or we stay as we are for however long it takes, or maybe even become fully annexed by Turkey.
The world is recognising what really happened. It recognises what is still happening, and it recognises Turkey's army will use any and every excuse, including the demons in your head, to remain on Cyprus illegally until such time Cypriots gift Turkey part of their sovereign territory.
But Cypriots had to do that before, in order for Britain to leave. Cypriots will not do so again.
So if Turkey is going to annex part of the island, let her do so, but let her do so illegally, without the world's approval; not legally, with the Cypriot people's approval. For that will never happen.
