Stories I kept hearing was the difficulties TCs have when trying to do things in the south even though RoC was supposed to operate in 3 languages. Tks for insight. Maybe they're not as bigoted in the South as I'd assumed, and are keen to learn from the culture of their neighbours?
Okey dokey Palio, $100 bucks cool.
Nothing wrong with admitting you don't know everything.

Interesting... despite he is an "equal" and "legal" "Cypriot" citizen of so-called RoC, was exempted from his "national" duty; military service... but it shouldn't be... he must have had a certificate of insanity that makes him a privilaged TC "citizen" of the so-called RoC.

The only reason they are offering Greek lessons is (as I said a while back) that Greek has had a resurgence and any self-respecting school now offers Greek alongside/instead of French, Latin etc.
Besides, the EU solution will logically have one official language and that will be Greek, so get ready!
