How proud I am that I am a Turkish Cypriot.


and melancholics are jumping up and down .......

I'm currently reading Bruce Chatwin's book 'The Songlines', the subject of the book being aboriginal songs describing ancient tracks connecting communities throughout Australia. The songlines also relate to the creation of the land and secrets of its past. Near the beginning of the book Chatwin gets into conversation with an aborigine in a bar in Alice Springs.

'Are you English' asked the aborigine.
'Yes,' I said.
'Why don't you go back home?'
He spoke slowly, in clipped syllables.
'I just arrived,' I said.
'I mean all of you.'
'All of who?'
'White men,' he said.
The whites had stolen his country, he said. Their presence in Australia was illegal. His people had never ceded one square inch of territory. They had never signed a treaty. All Europeans should go back to where they came from.

Captain James Cook is credited with claiming Australia for King George III in 1770, and the first European colonisation occurred in 1788. However, there is evidence of European ships sailing close to Australia much earlier, around 1606.

Only a few decades earlier than this Cyprus was invaded by the Ottomans, the longterm consequences of which contribute to the current division, and political and military stalemate, on the island.

Does the aborigine in the bar in Alice Springs have a valid point? And if he does, then is there merit to the arguments of some on this forum that TCs, who are not the indigenous people of Cyprus, 'should go home to Turkey'? And in the general sense, has the mass migration of humans to different parts of the globe in recent centuries been to the overall benefit or detriment of mankind? Or is the cost to indigenous populations too high?

Tut, tut, tut Talisker. I always considered you an almost neutral contributor with a slight leaning to the GC point of view. How interesting that you should show your real feelings.

Its a stupid thread anyway and not even worth discussing. After years of mixed blood and all that, the Turkish Cypriots existence on the island is legal and we are on Cyprus to stay.

Ahhhh DENIZ BABA Ahhhhhh......... Don't u know that Turkish Cypriots has got big COCK !!!!!!!!! Talisker kinds have small one ...... and these kinds are always melancholic my DENIZ BABA .............

What is this DENIZ BABA business. Have you gone religious or do you think that I deserve such an accolade. Acaba 'erişmişmiyim' de haberim mi yok?

Sounds like the Turks amongst us have shown their true colours ...

What a shameful exhibtion of an inability to defend a perfectly normal assertion.

This is what TCs are like, Talisker, so do not be deterred!

I made a valid input but you ignored it

[Malapapa]

but getting back to the topic that the thread starter was hinting at the original inhabitants en mass was the Hittite empire so therefore is he or she stating that both GC and TC should go 'home'? what do you think?

Cypriots should stay. Turks should go home. Turkish Cypriots should decide where their allegiances lie, and if they're with Turkey, they should go live with runaway.

Thats not really answering my question is it?

It's really quite simple DTA. Forget the Hittite and all the other Shittite empires that followed.

If you're allegiance is to Cyprus then you're welcome to stay. More than welcome. Your country needs you to help rebuild it. But if you're allegiance is to the foreign invader, then go home to mama.

[Oracle]

But they were there before the Greeks were so should you not Assimilated in to the Hittite culture?

This is where you idiocy lets you down (again).

The predominant culture was Greek. Hard to digest?

Then, bugger off!
