Still - and this is small consolation - it is not unique to TRNC. A lot of other nations have had their cultural relics and places of worship looted and destroyed.


It's not their country you arse hole!


Unfortunately, you're right: the Turkish military and the Anatolian migrants have basically made the Turkish Cypriots marginalized in what is obstensively their own country.

No it isn't. The north is legally and internationally recognized as territory of the Republic of Cyprus. Perhaps that's what you meant to say.

And yes you're right the T/Cs are marginalized in the north but I don't see them protesting too much about it. Certainly brave enough to go onto the streets and demand more money from Turkey. Still happy to suck on the tit while it chokes them...

Hermes, ExpratPlonker, thinks if he says it enough times, everyone would beleive him. he doesn't fully understand the difference between legal and illegal.

He keeps throwing in this statement about being "Their Country", bacause he wishes partition upon us, ad paid for by his masters.

Poor sole, we should pity him.

You may choose to ignore it's existance, but the TRNC does exist. In any case, the TC's do see Turkey as definitely the lesser of two evils, but also don't forget that since Turkey is the only country that recognizes the TRNC, the TC's are forced to rely on Turkey almost utterly. Its regrettable, but assimilation by your side or Turkey, the end result is the same... UNLESS they have their own sovereign, non-aligned, and internationally recognized country.
