...it has taken them thirty-five years because they still have the support of others important to them. it is an act, this act is very costly. however, beyond the plunder there is the desecration of time, where living things like the communities which revolve around a church wither, then the church walls suffer too... it has come to the point where avoiding this litigation costs more than patience, hope, and grace.

...as for the fuming about vrakas vs. tunic, i say only fashion dummies don't have at least one pair of each in a closet we should be grateful for...
(yiavash. yiavash re pekia), i hope you have more than skirts and underwear in your wardrobes.

...women wore red in my village for marriage, women wore white, that's socialism, that's cooperation, that's culture refined. this is Cyprus, an island, even more cosmopolitainthan most because it has always been a crossroad to many. you want to talk about race Mr. E., i'm talking Humanity, come to my villagesoon it will be dead, like your village, thousands of years old you say? ...or 450, either way older than Greece; by the way, were you from the Anatol another place where the sporon tous Tourkous were traded, ah heck, Modern History, let's dismiss that little exchange...dude i have a tree on my land planted by the apostle paul, don't give me anything about your 'think' because there is nothing more important but the water, to me, like my uncle and my brother. if you are here to help, you think, otherwise you know nothing about "Greek" or its greatness, trapped by Lord Byron to some place scratched out, (oops(mixing my Ages again)), by Modern History.

This should be interesting Christanity vs Islam.......get the pop corn.

Viewpoint, the issue is not that of Christianity versus Islam. Rather, it's the Church acting as a legal entity seeking legal recourse against illegal occupiers.

Well after reading all that crap about Latin, Italian and Koine, perhaps we can revert back to the original thread. In my mind the Greek Orthodox Church of Cyprus has done well into taking legal action. Why on earth has it taken them 35 years to act ?

I think the recent ECJ rulings on properties and Turkey's deadline for her EU talks at the end of the year may have something to do with it. Sometimes timing is everything in politics and law.!

As the saying goes in Turkish , "Sakla Samani, Gelir Zamani".!

Direct translation is meaningless because it plays with words sounding the same, but meaning different things.!

Indirect translation is: "Save something to be used when it's time comes".!

Not meaningless Kiks.

Instead of burning the hay to get rid of it, keep for later, you never know when it will be useful - especially if you keep cattle or sheep.

The conclusion is the same as yours though.

Deniz,

I just meant direct translation would be meaningless into English, which would read;

"Sakla Samani, Gelir Zamani" = "Save Straw, Comes Time".!!!

Put like that I agree. But nothing can be translated word for word, it becomes not unlike the 'Google Translator'.

It always amazes me to see how many Turkish words we use every day in our vocabulary. Hronia tjai zamania...i never thought to ask myself what zamani was until now.

Kiks, Deniz, wouldn't this English saying fit the bill - "there's a time and place for everything" ?

what is 'tjai'. So we can get the meaning. It sounds like 'tea' but you never know with Greek.

You see, DT, Bir can already speak some Greek just by knowing Turkish and he didn't even know about it.!
