As far as "tyranny" goes, it is us Cypriots who have been oppressed by you for centuries. It is you who invaded our island with the aim to enslave, exploit us and steal our lands. So don't pretend to be the victim when you are in fact the aggressors.
The ownership all Cyprus. including the north part is by over 80% to Greek Cypriots. And what "international agreements" do you have to back up your illegalities? Annan plan is null and void. The 1960s agreements are about one unitary state.
We have no problem to share this country with your minority. We share Cyprus with other minorities as well without any problem. We will share Cyprus with you in the same way that Turks share Turkey with the Greek and Kurdish minorities. We are not living in the Ottoman era that you could treat Cypriots as slaves and grand to yourselves privileges on our expense.
This from a man who goes back even further when it suits him!!
Zan, we already know that YFred is uneducated. Are you uneducated too, or making "arguments" that can sound convincing to the uneducated ones is all that you can do?
I discuss the past just to present the historical truth. I don't demand that systems and practices of the past should continue to apply today. It is you who claims that because crimes like ethnic cleansing and human rights violations were fine some centuries ago it means they continue to be fine today. On the contrary I support the 21st century system of democracy, human rights and equality of all citizens without racist or other discriminations.
