How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Perhaps its because in all the numerous occassions I have been to Greece, I have never really been made to feel as one with them.


Why to be Greek you must be one of them? I amnot refering to Citizenship but to Ethicity

I feel that we Cypriots have transended this and our ethnicity is now Cypriot.

I live in hope that the TCs feel this to, and judging from their perceptions of the settlers, they are half way there.

Why? When the rest of the world's elite are re-establishing links with Hellenistic culture should we give it up for the sake of appeasing the Turks?

Then you are a misguided fool since they have done nothing but try and rule us in ALL the time they have been in Cyprus!

Their only concerns with settlers are that they don't want to compete for the freebies with them. And not because they want to share with GCs!

Well Oracle,

I live in the UK and when I go to Cyprus, I get this warm feeling in my soul that I have arrived home.

I have never felt this in Greece or from any of my so called "greek brothers".

I'm quite sure the TC feel the same towards Turkey and would rather proclaim Cyprus as their motherland.

I think any Cretan or Kefalonian would feel the same ...

When I am back in the UK, I feel nothing till I am in my "home" town there. It's all about parochialism.

You need to look at the bigger, survival, picture!

I'm neither a Cretan or Kefalonian so what they feel has no relevelance to me - and it has nought to do about parochialism - its where your heart is that counts,.

:? Oracle, not only is Hellenism a fantasy (mythology) but Greece is bankrupt, caput, finished, gone, washed out, screwed, rooted, etc, etc… :(

Now it’s just you and Yialoser left fighting over thin air… :cry:

Good for you...so do I.

So what. If you are a Londoner and moved to Truro you wouldn't feel at home either but you still call yourself a Brit.

Ha! Oh please. How many times have you heard it in this very forum that VP's voice is the voice of the majority of Turkish Cypriots? My encounters have been completely different. I have met Anatolians that respected the RoC more than our TC brothers. TCs to me act more Turkish than the Turks themselves. At least that is my experiece. Your experience may be different.

Listen here. Quit kneeling...its embarrassing, it really is. Stand tall for the RoC....its OK to call yourself a Greek Cypriot.
