Every reasonable Cypriot , either G/C or T/C surely acknowledges that atrocities were committed by both sets of fanatics , hate mongers and people whose homeland was NOT Cyprus but a foreign country . If one thinks that people who were born in some cases just metres from each other would commit such atrocities because they were G/Cs or T/Cs then they are abysmally wrong. Atrocities were committed by those whose allegiance was to another nation and not to our common motherland the island of Cyprus.
To continue with efforts to blacken one or the other side is totally futile and not constructive in any sense. We should try to focus on issues that bind the Cypriot people together not divide us , unless of course most have already resigned to the permanent division of our island.[/quote]
Absolutely agree. atrocities were a result of external meddling supported by local fanatics. The continual focus on the past and blaming each other will get us nowhere other than permanent partition. Perhaps we should have a reconciliation commission like in South Africa to put past crimes on trial and allow us all to move forward[/quote]
I made the same statement when first joined. It will not work here becasue GCs want revenge.[/quote]
You are dreadfully wrong Fred ! I made the same statement over and over again for the last 4 years , the fact that extremists post negative to Cyprus posts does not effect my judgement and neither does it alter my strongly held views which support the unification of our island where all citizens are first and foremost Cypriots.
Let me hear you say what I have said hundreds of times.To hell with foreign influences , to hell with foreign flags and to hell with those nations
who continually asphyxiate the logic of our people.
