Durchi...
Durchi je Hristiani - Turks and Christians. They called themselves Christians rather than Greeks; they called you Turks rather than Cypriots.

That was before the nationalism movement I think.... before early 1800s. I don't think they were calling TCs as Turks while calling themselves as Christians. As far as I remeber, we were called muslims until the introduction of nationalism movement into Christians of Cyprus.

Durchi je Hrisgani is what I used to hear. But then again, according to the forum ENT specialist (GR), my hearing is not so good. Pardon?
