[Epiktitos]

The GCs who post here have a fundamentally flawed (i.e. incorrect), if not plain stupid, perception of their identity. They use argument by shrillness to conclude being "ethnic" cypriots.

It's almost as if they would prefer to think of themselves as "greek-speaking Cypriots", as if the language they speak (disgracefully badly, I might add) is a mere coincidence. They don't realise that this "cypriotness" bullshit they spout is the very trap laid by the Brits, with their centuries of "nation building" divide-and-conquer experience, that led to the on-going disaster.

I wonder if any Greek in Cyprus described himself as an ethnic Cypriot before 1960...

So GC's should be 100% Greek. Most GC's don't even like the Greeks, and as for the language the Greeks got it from CYPRIOTS, ask GR.

Mate, are you 100% human?

Epiktitos, you are the one who is confused because it’s the Cypriots who speak “Greek” (<- it’s only a label) correctly and the Greeks who have come up with their own dialect of ancient Cypriot!

When Cyprus and Cypriotism flourished and the Cypriots were the masters of the Mediterranean, countries like Greece and Turkey did not even exist!

That paper proves nothing more than that Cyprus was inhabited by Greeks from as far back as the time the alphabet became recognisably more like that used today.

Your problem my friend is your difficulty to understand that to be Greek does not make you modern mainlander Greek.This point is what various internal and outsiders use to confuse your/our mind.

In case you missed it, the narrative that “Greeks” (read Mycenaeans) arrived on Cyprus goes on to say that they were a UNEDUCATED people who came and found Cypriots (natives) ALREADY having an alphabet which they later adopted themselves!

Also, anyone who came to live on Cyprus would’ve been assimilated into Cypriotism within a decade or two just as happens anywhere else in the world.

Why then you famous Cypriots not educated them in your language, in your culture etc. Something seems wrong in your British made theory
