Kifeas, you have an American education, and I would have thought that this American education would have better equipped you to at least move away from divisive and anachronistic ideals that should have no place in Cyprus today, and are better left in the 60s and 70s where they belong.
This lack of unity can only undermine Cyprus and weaken our hand.
Where did you see my "divisive and anachronistic ideals?" Is it a "divisive and anachronistic" idea to tell a neo-fascist fanatic and a sick nationalist person to stay away from Cyprus? Is it a lie that the last time such people were allowed to get involved and reign, they managed to give half of Cyprus away to the Turks? What does having an American education has to do with it?
Right here Kifeas!
As a matter of fact, if Epsilon is a Cypriot, she or her parents may most likely be among those few hundreds that left Cyprus in rush, just after 1974, due to their tight involvement with the Eoka B' and its criminal activities, and spread around Greece and other places. Better ignore the stupid woman!
Epsilon, keep away from Cyprus!!! The last time you and your likes decided to get close and involved with it, you managed to give half of it to the Turks. Any further involvement with Cyprus and not only you will manage to achieve the union of half of it with Turkey -unlike any union with Greece you have once attempted, but you will also manage to give the remaining half of it to the Turks! Please stay away, and let us alone to slowly manage and pull out the cucumber you once shuffled in our asses, and which we still keep baring for the last 35 years!
Labelling persons as fascist, is in my opinion, anachronistic and divisive, especially if you have not even met them. This is the type of mentality that is all so common among the older generation.
As far as I'm concerned Kifeas, GCs need to mature and move way from divisive politics. There is a desperate need of unity between many GCs, and especially the political forces within Cyprus, so that they can finally act and behave in a manner that benefits the national interest. There is division between AKEL and Disy, AKEL and DIKO, and somehow, these forces need to unify or find common ground. There must be unity when dealing with the Cyprus Problem, and the lack of unity is a much bigger threat than the Turkish Army itself, because it has always undermined our ability to fight for justice and it weakens our hand in the current negotiations, as the Turkish side feels invincible against a badly organised and polarised opposition.
I personally don't believe that there are nationalistic fascist Cypriots anymore. I, at least, did not see any. Sure there were Cypriots who made costly mistakes, but the past can't be changed. We can learn to live with it, and fight the occupation in unison or our weakness will be further exploited.
It is not a lie that some people in Cyprus managed to half destroy the country. I'm certain that none of them saw the calamity that awaited us, and are now regretful. But these unfortunate divisions within Cypriot society, and within the political spectrum, need to be left behind, so that you can all concentrate your energies against the occupation in a cohesive and constructive fashion.
What does having an American education has to do with it?
You don't find it interesting that in places such as the US, Australia and Canada, political ideologies NEVER undermine the national interests? These countries are very young and are yet politically more mature (George W Bush excluded) when facing adversity.
I think it is time to move on, and it is imperative that all GCs and all political parties get behind and support Christofias to strengthen his hand at the negotiation table. Witch hunts and blaming others will not achieve anything. Dividing society into so called "EOKA B" extremists (which don't exist), communist or anything in between, undermines everything.
