Niki, sorry but I think it's one of those not seeing the woods for the trees situation.

The average TC does not wish to undermine their position given the aims of the GC politicians. Like the GCs, they are happy in their current homes, they don't want to leave their homes a third time.

The political direction taken by the GCs is woefully repugnant to TCs. To achieve what you are saying requires an about face in GC policies. Hoping to convince TCs to reject living a somewhat unaltered life amongst a growing number of mainland Turks and instead changing their lives and culture around to fit into GC ideas of a solution is simply not going to happen. There is simply too much inertia.

In 2004 there was serious momentum. That has steadily dissapated.

As bir says, simply look at the dialogue from this forum. The fact that I cannot place a flag which I can identify with given the RoC flag is compromised in me eyes until the problem is resolved demonstrates why TCs can never accept what GCs keep insisting on.

This is a simple chat page, doesn't impact either our physical wellbeing, our family's wellbeing or our cultural freedom. If GCs can object enough to reject my identity here then what do think the average TC could do as a minority in Cyprus.

Ps. I'm not having a dig at GCs, just trying to help create better understanding.

At the end of the day, this is the land of the indigenous Cypriots; historically, numerically, financially, and in every other way you can care to mention, and those that oppose them cannot and should not expect a smooth ride on this island. It’s just common sense!

gr, Niki at least had a direction to his post. You sound, as always, as though you are a yob at a football match.

There’s a fine line between a yob and a realist… just swim with the flow and your conflict is over.

Nope you are a yob.

You swim with the current, working against it makes me stronger.

You’re illegal, incompetent, and bankrupt, so resistance is futile…

It makes as much sense as the Aboriginees in Australia saying "this is the land of the indigenous people historically,geographically,culturally and spiritually,and every other way you can care to mention,and those that oppose them cannot and should not expect a smooth ride on this continent..." :wink:
