When reunification comes in Cyprus which symbols of identity, that might be provocative to the other community, would GCs and TCs demand be removed, or be prepared to give up?

The question is "when"...

That's for another thread, but I'm an optimist........

Yes, but it is still a prerequisite.

[Talisker]

yes and the turkish cypriot flag should be removed..(not made illigal) just removed espesially from the mountains.. but the north is one huge turkish flag every other building everywhere all they have is turk flags.

How would you like to look up at the moon and see one of those flags? It could happen.........

Off to find the art side of the Moon

American professor plans to win Google lunar prize with artistic robots. John Morgan reports

As debate continues over the wider impact of academic research, a US professor is thinking big with a project that aims to put art on the Moon and transform humanity's sense of itself in the cosmos.

Lowry Burgess, a pioneer in the field of space art, leads an interdisciplinary group of visual artists, engineers, musicians and roboticists at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The group plans to launch an interactive arts project on the Moon in May 2011, using a lunar rover designed by Carnegie Mellon roboticist William "Red" Whittaker and his Astrobotic team.

The rover will be pursuing the $20 million (£12 million) Google Lunar X Prize, an international competition challenging privately funded teams to land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel at least 500 metres over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to Earth.

Professor Burgess, a dean and distinguished fellow in Carnegie Mellon's Studio for Creative Inquiry, describes the project as a "unique, historic moment", and a chance to "allow people to interact with and become aware of the Moon much more deeply".

"My greatest aim is to engage the human spirit in its full context - that includes the cosmos - to sense the titanic glory of being inside a universe that is so extremely beautiful," he said.

One of the artworks will be Moon Marks, in which the pyramid-shaped rover will "draw with the tracks it leaves", following designs submitted by internet users and beaming back a view of the results via a high-definition camera.

The Moon Bell will send radio waves back and forth between the Earth and the Moon, turning the Moon into a "sitar, lyre or harp", as Professor Burgess describes it. The sound will be the basis for music by the Carnegie Mellon orchestra.

And then there is the Moon Fragrance element of the project, which will ask members of the public to imagine the scent of the Moon, create a perfume from their suggestions and release it on the Moon itself.

"We are going to perfect some lunar essences, put together by some of the great perfumiers of the world," Professor Burgess said. "We're going to take a lunar essence and say: 'Hey Moon, here's what we think you smell like.'?"

Space art will be a key concern if humanity establishes itself beyond Earth, Professor Burgess believes.

"Almost everything changes once you take gravity away. All relationships shift. That is going to lead to new psychologies, new societies, a new aesthetic completely," he said.

In 1989, Professor Burgess sent a glass box filled with water from 18 of the world's great rivers into orbit aboard a Nasa shuttle.

I was gonna say on the Statues subject but i thought i would heart dome peoples feelings So, its a hot subject... i think we should all become neutral and accept each others past for a peaceful future. But i will stop here as i came to this island in 1995 and all i was only interested in beer which costed 50 cents a pint. I have no right to decide here, neither the fucking mainland turks...

Each side will decide on what staues or flags they wish to erect sure we cannot dictate this to each other? Are you GCs willing to ditch the Greek flag you have all over the south?

But upon reunification there should not be 'sides'.

compared tot he north cyprus we have no flags... seriously every other building has a flag anywhere the turks found a place to put one its there! even infront of the greek churches the apostolos antreas.. very big flags and roads leading up to mountains with more flags and even more flags its like they worship the flag the trnc is wrapped in 10000's of turk flags..

its really not that bad in the south

but we should have one flag to represent cyprus not two

i dont how anyone else feels but if it where up to me we would of got rid of the greece flags ages ago

You are immune to the Greek flags in the south just as we are to ones in the north, so your agreeing to get rid of them all if a solution were found is a sign that we would think about also getting rid of the Turkish flag.

I can't - I'm not a GC. But if you want my opinion, then the Greek flag should be ditched (although I've never noticed it to be prominent) and use of a unified Cypriot flag encouraged.
