You have overlooked at least 700 of these Cypriot citizens.


Imo, u overlooked them by not mentioning them in ur poll options.


Oh, so it's my fault people don't put the interests of all the island's people first.


The interests of bloody blue blooded vips come first on both sides of the island.

The rest r so-called step blood brothers under 2 main "umbreallas" which they placed themselves depending their lowly interests.


Insan, this is an internal problem - pls try to not involve/tks


Epsilon, it's u foolishly r trying to convince some people of Cyprus that they r Greek descendants. It is a well known fact that vast majority of GCs consider themselves as a part of Greek nation.

I have respect to those who don't consider themselves as a part of Greek or Turkish nation, be it Armenians, Latins, Maronits, Pontians, Russians etc or so-called Cypriots that r not culturally any type of Cypriot just so-called Cypriots.

At the moment they are the enemy occupants and so should not be given citizenship/Cypriot Nationality, even if applying in some legitimate capacity (standard practice during war, I think).

The "Muslim" bit was superfluous as Cypriot citizens are not defined by their religion.


So where does that leave my friend Kikapu? He is Cypriot of Turkish origin, but his allegiance is towards justice, and hence with the RoC and against Turkey.


Kikapu isn't "Turkish".... (as far as I can gather, from his posts)
