The British and the Turks have both killed Greek Cypriot youths for matters over flags ... within our own country!

Thanks for that Oracle, as if we needed reminding.

Trigger happy murderers.

... I do however have a photo of me carrying a gigantic Turkish flag. I think it was carried by eight students. Pre-1960.

Lucky you Deniz ... flying the Greek flag was banned by the Brits.

Interesting they "forgot" to ban the Turkish one ....

There was no other flag to identify with Oracle. That was before the republic. The british may have banned the Greek flag but is was largely ignored, wasnt it.

That's irrelevant. What is important here, is why they banned the Greek Flag but not the Turkish flag ....

You really want me to answer that Oracle?

It was the Greek Cypriot nationalists who were giving the Brits hell. The TCs were merely a fly in the ointment; and ofcourse the TCs were their more favoured minority.

hey knucklehead do you know where your mouth starts and your ass finishes?...

To me GCs don't appear any more nationalistic in terms of flag-waving than any other Europeans. However, TCs seem different in this respect.

Are the Turkish flags on the mountainside directed at TCs or GCs? In other words - to instill pride and (Turkish) nationalism in TCs or simply to antagonise GCs?

Should reunification occur there would be no need for either, so presumably the mountainsides would be cleansed of this graffiti?

Did TCs show similar enthusiasm for flags and symbols of their identity back in the earlier part of the 20th century - or is this a direct product of conflict and division?

FYI - pre 1963 TCs didn't care for religion or flags. After the GCs attempted to annihilate them, is when the Turksihness surfaced. The genie is out of the bottle.

are we suppose to take the word of a knucklehead that doesn't know where his mouth starts and his ass finishes?...

Why were the Greek Cypriots "Nationalists" for simply wanting their Liberty from colonial rule?

The TCs were never a "fly in the ointment" for the Brits, it seems, more a convenient tool ....

Not at all old chap. You are supposed to take it like the rest of your greek cronies, up the ass.
