There is nothing peaceful about most Turks and TCs. And there is nothing but stink coming from Neo-Ottomanist commies/Socialists like you in pretending there is a mythical Cypriot nation.

What was the name of this "mythical" island 3 thousand years ago ?
I'M WHAT ?

Of course T/cs are not revolting or bad. They are just coming from a different story than us and they have different targets than us. Thats all.


Interesting analysis... what if we re-examined the story; try and make it fit everyone more comfortably? What effect would that have on targets?

Today there is a major story, and you can see it in the Mail sections in the forum too, about GC brickmakers protesting about what they perceive as unfair competition from TC bricks. The bricks are sold at much lower prices and are gaining a growing market share in the RoC. So obviously some businessmen are able to move and sell products across the Green line.

Our local supermarkets in Athens have TC potatoes. I buy them regularly. Again, the facts prove that trade does move across the Green line and there is no hermetic sealing of the TCs.

The effects of the story is already on you/me and them. Very late for changes. They will continue to try to achieve their targets and we will try to do the same. Some times by loving them, sometimes fighting them and vice versa. If you remember this story is more than 500 years old/

I did read that comment. Just goes to prove that the GCs will always try to suffocate anything TC. Reminds me of the 1st shipment of bricks worth 19.50 taking 4 hours to go through the customs.

For some reason, the selling of potatos and bricks does not involve the recognition of the northern administration, but sportsmen and flights do. I cannot see the lojik here. :lol:

Are not all nation states essentially based on a myth?

See the following article:
