Megali Idea means all Greeks to be reunited. Since Cyprus is more than 90% Greek. There are 800,000 people on Cyprus. 658,000 are Greek Orthodox, that leaves 150,000 others. They include: Armenians, Greek Catholics, Menorites, British, Germans, UN soldiers, and Turks. So, to me that means Cyprus is overwhelming Greek. Out of every 10 Cypriots, 8 and 1/2 are Greek and only 1/2 are Turkish? That doesn't make sense. There are more Turks living in Rhodes than on Cyprus. Why is Rhodes allow to be part of Greece and not Cyprus. Especially since Rhodes is closer to Turkey than Cyprus?

Why don't you allow the Rhodian Turks to vote to see if they wish to be part of Greece with the EU or with Turkey. Just ask them in a referendum to see the answer you get.

Sweetheart they do vote for your information. They are Greek citizens. They practice their religion and they love living in Greece. They have more freedom in Greece than in Turkey.

Darling, have they ever voted to see if they wish to remain part of Greece? Has that ever been asked?
Or is it the usual, vote for this greek or that greek?

[Christine Toskos]

They voted to remain Greek. They prefer living with Greeks because they have freedom to come and go as they please. They can worship in their mosques without fear. More than I can say about Constantinople. They aren't afraid that the Greeks will kill them on Ramadan. In Larnaca the mosques are there undisturbed. Can we say the same about our churches in the occupied areas?

So when was the last referendum to see if they wish to remain part of Greece?

This never came up. Just like the Turkish Cypriots never wanted to be an independent country from Cyprus. They lived better with the Greeks. However, tell your parents to speak the truth. They will say there were no problems between the two communities. The British stirred the Turkey. Turkey being barbaric said opportunity to steal more Greek lands. Just as they stole, Pontia, Constantinople, Symrna etc. This is the truth not the bull your Turkish lied about. This is probably the only time you hear of the truth. As I said you are receiving an inferior education from your Turkish teachers. Sue them for lying to you.

Were they given the choice to refer to themselves as Turks or Muslims too? Are they allowed to refer to temselvesas Turks in any way?
I met a greek lady recently who's surname was Kahramanoglu. Is that a common surname in Greece?

Just to prove the Turkish Greeks live better than the Turks in Turkey. The Greeks allow them to live as 100% citizens while the Turks murder, rape and destroy Greek churches in Asia Minor. Who is more European and civilized the Barbaric Turks: No Human Rights. Or the Greeks: Greek Turks can do whatever they want in Greece as long as it is legal for all Greeks!
