I’m afraid your “TRNC” flag is now fucked because GCs will never accept it after you’ve flaunted it on the sacred pendadactylos!

Come again. So you are going to dictate the flag for the TCs. Are you holding a referendum on it?
Not forgetting that by the time we have an agreement, we may actually have no dactylos left.
Hellim.


Just get the army out, let everyone go home and you can stick your soiled y-fronts on a pole and fly them for all anyone cares.

When on earth will you guys face reality. How will the TCs get the army off the island. Are you out of your furkin minds? do you need any psychotherapy or what?
My soiled pants are not your concern. They get washed once a year whether they need it or not. You want a smell?

So why are we even talking, then? You're as irrelevant as your smelly pants.

Who gives a damn who has or has not got smelly pants? The bottom line is that the official flag of RoCy plays second fiddle to the Greek Flag in the south (and I'm referring to the citizenry, not the Government), and that the TRNC flag flies in the north alongside the Turkish Flag. Of course the UN flag flies along the border, the Union Flag and the RAF Ensign fly in the SBA's, and (mainly to rub it in to the Turkish Cypriots) the EU flag is flying prominently. Looks like Cyprus is a land of flags...

And Cyprus flag is a most peaceful flag on the planet...no blood color, no religious sign... and it was made by a Turkish Cypriot.. so lets stick to that. Of course those 2 huge flags must be removed from the mountain.

Agree on mountainside flags, not on religious symbols.

What about statues of political and military figures from the past, or honouring of some of these individuals in street names?


Religions should be free to display any symbol they wish but a distinct separation between religion and state needs to be enforced and enshrined within the constitution which will ensure no religious meddling in political affairs or decision making.

Religious studies should also be removed from public school curricula...but religions should be allowed to set up their own privately funded schools.
