Yfred, I certainly did mean those certain women who seem to revel in their ethnic-hating hobby in this forum.

There where they belong, at the shallow end of the gene pool as far as intelligence is concerned.

Then there's a good chance that they are blonde then...

You know the rule must apply, but logic and that is supposed to be their strong point, says that being greek and being blond (we exclude the aeroplane blonds) just do not go together. Fancy that to suffer the disadvantages of being thick in life not balanced by the advantages gained from being blonde.

Expatkiwi,

Forgive me for casting doubt over your integrity over whether your alleged meeting with these "Turkish tourists" ever took place. Trouble is, there are not that many expat Kiwis frequenting these forums. And just the other day one of them with a similar writing style to your own posted this on Cyprus44:

Speaking of 'thuggishness', I well remember the demonstration at which the attempted hauling down of the Turkish flag incident occurred - it was GC bikers, who rode up to Nicosia from all over RoC, plus the students.

My Canadian (UNFYCYP) friend was on duty that day - apart from being verbally abused, spat at and physically threatened, he had sand flung in his face several times. He told me that one young GC wouldn't cease being confrontational, so he had no alternative but to clout him across the ear with the handset of his field telephone.

The member on that forum who challenged (you) about the truthfulness of that post - on two glaringly obvious points - was immediately banned from posting for 11 years. Here we enjoy freedom of expression. So maybe you have something to say?

Well, I can say that I was not the person who published the article you alluded to. BTW Those Turkish tourists I spoke to were in Little Rock, Arkansas, the same time I was waiting for my son to die at Arkansas Childrens Hospital (he was critically injured in a vehicle accident and finally passed away after being in a coma for 36 days. Get Real sent me condolences on my son's passing). Anyway, I had bumped into them at a masll in North Little Rock while shopping for some items to take to my wife back at the hospital (standing vigil over my son's hospital bed). I don't know if those tourists' attitude is typical of Turks in general, or a minority viewpoint. But I can tell you that I was shocked that they regarded my support of the TRNC being a totally independent state was naive.

I'm very sorry to hear that and it's very unfortunate there was some confusion, what with two people - each from New Zealand - on the Cyprus44 forum purporting to be different people yet frequently posting at the same time and with a near-identical writing style. One/both of these people was/were exposed to be telling lies. And both, like you (also a New Zealander), wrote like you and also supported the Turkish position in Cyprus.

If you could give me your son's name and the date he died I'd like to make a donation to Arkansas Children's Hospital. If you'd rather keep that more private, feel free to drop me a PM.

I appreciate the gesture, but it's not necessary. Thank you all the same for your condolences.

Regarding the population exchanges: They were more or less imposed by Turkey who had won the war, and the ratio of displaced Greeks and Turks was far from even: 500,000 Turks vs 1,500,000 Greeks

Are you sure about those figures? T'was my understanding that there are less than that number of people on the island altogether.

I get the feeling those figure are too much for Turkey and Greece never mind oll little Cyprus.

I agree the only solution is for the Turkish troops to leave Cyprus and never to return. Once they leave everyone will be given the right to live and works wherever they want. Isn't it funny that the barbaric Turkish government thinks it has the right to control Cyprus. It as if Canada thinks it has the right to control the United States of America. Funny that the Southern part of Cyprus is successful while northern Cyprus which under the Greeks was successful now is failing. Proves my point: Turkey doesn't give a damn about Cyprus. They just are racist people who hate Greeks

[paliometoxo]

what they care about is keeping army in cyprus for cyprus strategic psotiioning and they use turkish as pawns in their game and for excuse to stay

Turks cannot be trusted. That is why they sent Obama to Turkey. They see what the Greeks told them. Turks smile in front of your face but stick a knife in your back and twist it as they are smiling saying "I am not doing anything!"

I promise not to smile.

It is true!
