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!
You are again confusing what Cyprus
is with the
foreign ruler that occupies it.
The Venetians ruled over several Greek territories and none of those territories had any problem in being liberated and being part of the Greek state. Therefore the long term problem was caused by the Ottomans/Turks and not by the Venetians. The Latin minority today lives peacefully among us and shows respect to the Cypriot people and the identity of our island.
I'd daresay a lot of Latin blood flows throught the veins of many a Cypriot. But ofcourse you only talk of those that retained their faith. Shame really. We are all the same to a very large extent.
What you say now is yet another point in favor of my argument. The Venetian rule didn't cause any long term problems to Cyprus. The Latin population either assimilated or choose to live peacefully with the rest of Cypriots without trying to impose anything in an undemocratic way.
If the TC minority was doing the same then we wouldn't have any problems today. Unfortunately your minority was manipulated and turned against the majority of the population because this division and conflict served the interests of those imperialists who wanted to maintain troops and control over Cyprus against the will of the Cypriot people.
Yet you still call it a Greek island after all the assimilation. We are still ALL Cypriots and proud of it. Some of us speak a sort of Greek, some a variety of Turkish, some Armenian and some Maroniti.
I shall say this only once ; We are all Cypriots. You better get used to it. Especially if you really desire a peace settlement agreeable to all parties. Because of the partitionistas like you and others in the north, we have a divided island.
No Grandad, we have a divided island because of you lot.
You made this trouble, you continue to fuel it and you want whats not yours. Thats the real problem.
Piratis is showing you all the error of your ways, but even if you did agree with him you wouldn't say because you would have to give up what you (not personally you understand) stole.
Way to go Piratis man. Just keep reminding these low lifes.
