At times we get a bit carried away with principles; it is merely a nickname, in my view and there are far bigger issues to concern ourselves with.
I absolutely disagree with you there Svetlana. Recognising the name so called 'trnc' would be the beginning of recognising the illegal state, which is what the partitionist TCs want. According to you, then we should also call Talat 'president' because that is the 'de facto' title given to him by many people. These are propaganda tricks the Turks have been using for many years not only in Cyprus but also elsewhere. The only title I recognise for the illegally occupied north of Cyprus right now is 'gay colony'. And let's not go into what I recognise there leader as.
