Of course I am a Cypriot. And of course my main language is Greek. But my ethnicity is Greek as well. There is no Cypriot ethnicity.

Even your friends the Americans know this:

Ethnic groups:
Greek 77%, Turkish 18%, other 5% (2001)

https://www.cia.gov/library/publication ... os/cy.html

Hmm, let’s check Australia, undisputedly colonized by the British from the 1780s…

Ethnic groups: white 92%, Asian 7%, aboriginal and other 1%

https://www.cia.gov/library/publication ... os/as.html

Err, what kind of an ethnicity is “white”? Surely they mean “British”… no?


Ok so how about America, undisputedly colonized by the British at around 1600s…

Ethnic groups: white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%

https://www.cia.gov/library/publication ... os/us.html

White? What is going on here??? Shouldn't that be British?

There’s something awfully dodgy going on here with this “ethnicity”!!!

Silly boy! You know very well they just grouped all the "white" ethnic groups together for simplicity, eg French, Italians, Greeks, English, Scots.

Right, so now that Cyprus has many other whites from Romania, Georgia, England, and so forth, and not to mention non-important NON-GREEK Cypriots like myself, are there any plans to group us all as “White” so as to accurately reflect reality or do we continue with the bankrupt mythology?

To date, the demographics are still overwhelmingly a clear majority of Greek Cypriots --- I don't think such a clear case of 80% of any one ethnic group exists either in Australia or the USA. Notice they attribute the natives their own group

Aha! Yeah, sure keep going...

BTW! What I am trying to figure out is the fact that Oracle managed to squeeze in more than 20000 posts in 5 years against viewpoints 15,000 in 8 years!

That works out to be 11 posts a day, EVERY DAY for the past 5 years!
You must be shit bored with your fanatic life be kuzum!

Since a high percentage of the forum's posts are my own ... how can I possibly be bored?

Do you only post here when you're bored?

I wouldn't do anything if I was bored ... and since I am so productive, it means I am never bored.

OK! OK! I was only joking... But I do go on to forums when I have nothing better to do - because I know arguing in forms has got no political situation solved. It is a wind up process that keeps me up sleepless like tonight. Few more nights like this and all my PRODUCTIVITY will cease to function (and NO! do not sugest any funny pills either)

Well, I don't do any posts thinking it will solve anything other than get a few thoughts straight in my head.

Soooooo...Certain GCs still insist that Cyprus is a Greek island,despite what that fanaticism has cost us in the past...I guess the TCs have no other choice now,but to insist that Cyprus is a Turkish island,since we have been here since 1571....If the GCs have the democratic right to self-determination,so do the TCs...And since the choice,by imposition,is between Greece and Turkey,it is natural for the TCs to chose Turkey...Why are we spending our life arguing anything else...??? The fanatical Greek nationalists have made the decision for us...Cyprus will have to be divided between Greeks and Turks then...Come to think of it,Cyprus is divided between Greeks and Turks,so maybe Denktas and Co was right all along...There is no such thing as a "Cyprus Problem"...It was solved in 1974....Nothing more to be said really...

And the efforts of the Turks to de-Hellenize our island continue. Cyprus is a Greek island and that is how it was already when your ancestors came here. If you think your ancestors made the wrong choice and you do not want to live on a Greek island then you can always return to your ancestral lands.

If on the other hand you want to kill and ethnically cleanse us because we do not allow you to change the identity of our island then expect that we will continue to fight back against your aggression and expansionism.

When the Ottomans came, there was no Greek island, only a Venetian one.

And it stayed an Ottoman island for the next 300 years or so! Had it not been for the Ottomans the Venetians (being good catholics) were hell bent on cleaing off anything that was Greek Orthodox on the island!
