Of course we are Cypriot. And Cypriots are Greek, just like Cretans and Athenians.


no, not just like cretans and athenians. cretans and athenians are citizens of the republic of greece. cypriots are citizens of the republic of cyprus.

What makes somebody Greek is not the citizenship. Citizenship is one thing, nationality and ethnicity a whole another.

Furthermore, the only reason that Cyprus is a separate country is because this is what some foreigners imposed. But they can not impose on us what our nationality is.

well i am talking about citizenship which cannot be overlooked. cypriots are not just like athenians/cretans because of this. and because the geostrategic interests of the political entities to which athenians and to which cypriots belong do not always overlap; which is why it's an important distinction. for example, if greece had had its way cypriots would have said 'yes' to the annan plan.
