If that's all people told me, that would be fine.

Your lack of comprehension skills invariably miss the real insults which are general to all women.

That is what I abhor ...

I posted an article which bore out what I said earlier, Oracle. Interesting that you haven't commented on it....

... and I posted an article, written by a professor at a north Cyprus university to boot, which bore out what I said. Interesting that you haven't commented on that!

Because, utterly incompetent debater, that was the "article" which I, myself, posted as the opening "article" to this thread.

Give it up, failure ... :roll:

I only lived in one mixed village for one year,during 1961/62 school year...While the children would play together,our parents never mixed...They lived as 2 communities,having nothing to do with each other...This was in Aytotro (Ayios Theodoros),Larnaca...

As to Oracle's original question,the present separation is better for the TCs because their lives are not in danger any longer,as Expat correctly pointed out...When you hear horror stories of patients taken from hospitals and their throats cut,busloads of TCs disappearing,only to be found in wells some 45 years later,and 3 whole villages massacred,and all TCs huddled together in enclaves,you too would've considered the present situation better,if you were a TC Oracle...Trust me,I am not exaggerating...

My grandfathers (who was born in Ay. Theodoros) sister would visit us in Anglissidhes and they always spoke in Greek. They must have been closer as all my contemporary cousins spoke fluent Greek. Do you remember Ali Dede?

Sure I do,Deniz...
My grandparents and parents spoke fluent Greek too...But by the time EOKA-scare started,and the TMT kicked in,there was no longer close cooperation between the communities..I remember my grandfather in Istinco had trouble finding labourers for his fields...Up till mid 50s all his workers were GCs from the nearby villages...My mother learnt Greek playing with the children of these workers in the fields...The EOKA and the TMT and the British have a lot to answer for... :( :(
