One for the Ottoman remnant’s “tourist” industry…

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

So who do you think built and were using all these buildings... just the Romans while the indigenous Cypriots went for a 300 year holiday to Honolulu?

Which claims would that be? :?


Relating to the following

"Who do you actually tell them built those beautiful ancient temples, amphitheatres, and other ruins? "

"Do you tell them it was the useless Ottomans"

Show us where the north has claimed that the Turk/Ottomans built the ancient temples and amphitheatres.

Thank you. I will put them right.

Well there's lots of Polish building workers building stuff in Cyprus now but I doubt they will go down in history as Polish buildings lol!

UK canal system was built by Irish navvies - they don't call them the Irish Waterways. Ditto the London Docks!

Bellapais is a beautiful place. But even the view from there has been ruined by all the new builds and worst of all - all the grey concrete hulks of unfinished developments there.

So Poles living and building in Cyprus is the same as Cypriots living and building in Cyprus eh?

Look, we'll talk about your IQ a bit later... thanks.

Talk about it whenever you like!

Do you think these ruins would be here if it were not for the Romans? Do you think these Cypriot labourers would have had the idea and designed and built these places themselves?

There are ancient Roman remains and roads in the UK - I am sure the indigenous population worked on them. They still refer to them as ROMAN!

The Roman ruins aren’t the ONLY ruins that the Ottoman remnants are taking tourists to, so I don’t know why your needle seems to have gotten stuck there… :lol:
