I see that the mayor of a place called Akıncılar is one Hasan Barbaros.

http://www.havadiskibris.com/KIBRIS/514 ... kiyor.html

What kind of a surname is that for a Turk?

He is a good friend of mine.

Really Tim, I though your histroy knowledge was better than that. How can you forget the great man? Or may be he was not a Turk?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Barba ... _Pasha.jpg

Although when the old man Barbaros died, it was established that he may have been the last of the Linobambaki. Lived just accross from where the old church stood.

Yes, but this was a nickname given to him by Westerners, wasn't it? It can't really be said to be a truly pure Turkish name. I have my doubts as to whether it complies with article 5 of the surname law, but who am I to comment as a mere gavur?

The last of the linobambaki, huh? Next you will tell me he was one of the Y-Fred clan.

If you read a little Kavafis, Captain Barbarosa was so named for his red beard.

My Koumbaros (best man in my wedding) is a refugee from Morfou and he introduced me to his Morfites TC friends that he knew from childhood and some other TCs who were refugees from villages nearby. As they said the majority of those TCs living in Morfou are either native or from nearby villages. All of them same mentality, very nice people… One of them is so fanatically supporting the RoC without fear even in front of the Karasakalis that really astonished me. And of course the first time we met we exchanged all the interesting points about ourselves 2 of those TCs (among a group of 14) had purely Greek surnames. Sorry I don’t want to give their names publicly.
Another striking thing: Morfou had a football team pre 1974, named "Dhigenis-Morfou". Today that team has a club in Nicosia. Go at that club in Nicosia anytime you like, and tell me why there are always some TCs in there. They still support their hometown football team man, unbeleivable!!! I am convinced the TCs of Morfou are a special case… Bir believe me there are many TCs like you and Kikapu living in Cyprus, you guys are not some accidental exception in some forum….

My uncle played for Dighenis and to this day speaks perfect Turkish. My grandfather had a TC nanny looking after the kids while he and my grandmother went to the fields in Nikitas. The nanny's family till this day is taking care of our house and all the belongings in it.

A Turkish officer was given the house after the invasion but she fought him in court and regained it (was the newest and largest house in the town so the officers had their eye on it.). She has preserved everything there. Now years after she died her family under strict instructions by her will remind us that they are looking after it for Mastre Yiorkis.

I can see that Morphou meant the same thing to you and your family as Istinjo to me and mine,DT...I feel your pain and your sadness,mate...You talk about Morphou and its people with such a delicate emotion,it is very touching...

I don't think anyone has anything against anyone else on a human level Bir. (apart from that douchebag yfred)

Now now DT...YFred is one of the more lovable human beings on this Forum...You just have to understand his sense of humour...

Perhaps (DT) vragazmeno can explain to us what his granfather's role was as the chief of his area in eoka. Was one of his principle roles making the Çay? I hope it was Terkish?

I can tell you he does, so do the rest of them. It's just that it is different to the greekefied language they get nowdays in the media. It isn't just Turkey that had the idea of changing the locals. Greece had a bigger problem, as most GCs are fatter? and there is a hell of a lot more of them.

No I am not. He wrote it in Greek few years back. It's on the forum. We had a spat a while ago about what he wrote, but he refused to deny it becasue he knew I would find it and prove it to the forum. Eventually he admitted it just before he made a dissapearing act. You can ask him to see if he denies it this time. I'll then find both posts and prove him wrong.

After i read them 2-3 times i understand 70% of it, he uses old and forgotten peasant words sometimes mixed with turkish, sometimes it's very funny, sometimes very insulting (if you get it seriously), sometimes very clever, sometimes make no sense to me. Generally it's ok , a different tune...
