One can equally find texts by mainland Turkish authors which adopt a sympathetic view towards the difference between Turks and Turkish Cypriots. An example of this is provided by the following extract (with my translation) from the following article:

Thanks for the article that's dated February of the year 2003! LOL

My goodness, why, now i am just utterly tongue-tied for posting a recent article on how some Turkish journalists view the whole Cyprus question. What was i thinking?

In the first place, I don't think it matters because attitudes such as these do not change much over six years, and the view presented here is just as valid as that presented in a couple of obscure local rags in the Turkish city of Konya - notorious for being a centre of Islamic fundamentalism. The aim was just to provide some balance.

Secondly, there are some hilarious examples in this article and I am sure some Turkish Cypriot participants on this forum will enjoy a few chuckles if they read it.

Interesting article Tim. A few chuckle's? Yes. But I am proud of my Gıbrıslıca. Fakat icab ederse Türkçe de konuşup yazma kabiliyetim vardır.

Deniz, is there something called Kıprıslıca or it is just and accent we named it like Azeri accent, Eastern Turkey accent, Trakya accent etc? If there is Kıprıslıca, then there is Azerice, Trakyalıca, Egelice, Karadenizlice etc. Right?

I am feeling a revolt from TC's against the Turks who hold them hostage and supressed in their own country.
