You are "aussieturk" not "aussieturkcyp". Change your name and we will speak to you.

Hahaha very funny, but still doesn't answer the question.

Hay numbskull ! why does the north fly the turkish flag? hope you took many photos unlike we would be able to now run along back to aussie land and shut up.( and thats me being mild )

Ok, but two wrongs do not make ONE right. You can still answer the question. Can you please?

Perhaps the answer to the question ( if I may) lies in the fact that the 'Wedge' which was inserted into the minds of the 'Cypriot' prior to the plan which created division among the friendly folk here, seems to have worked extremely well.

Such political plans usually DO since the ordinary populations of ANY country are invariably easily led into the most grotesque of conflicts.

One cannot NOW blame either the T/C or the G/C for allying themselves to a flag which in reality is of no real consequence to either side of the created division, the damage has been done and the plan has worked thus far.

Ultimately, the powers which created the division will seek to gull the decent folk of Cyprus (whether T/C or G/C) that it is in their interests to adopt whatever policies they wish to establish here, the matter will be concluded in precisely the manner which was originally intended and everyone will be convinced that the politicians have done them a favour.

Truth is, both sides have been suckered into a situation which will not be resolved until it suits those powers to resolve it.

Meanwhile, the decent folk of Cyprus are STILL busily contesting each other (about differences which do not really exist) and that is exactly the way the politicians like it. (IMHO)

Dude, and I suppose you missed the ugly mess on Pentadaktylos.
You should've been thinking Turkish Apartheid still exists..

Who is the dude?

If you are implying me, then I suggest you do a search and find my thread on the Pentadaktylos flags and my opposition to it.

siga re Deniz, taking offense so quickly.
I was talking to the clueless Australian who posted this thread.

If you address the person, then there will be no mistake.

What our Ozzie friend was saying differs from what his GreekCyp friends are telling him. Its just an observation. We cant shoot him for that.

I have just returned from the TRNC visiting my family and decided to take a trip down south as I have never seen my parents village. To my suprise (or suspision) what I saw was Greek mainland flags flying next to the Cyprus flag.

Gc's have always told me they are not Greek they are Cypriot, but as I suspected this isnot true. Why would you fly the Greek Flag in Cyprus. Here in Australia, we don't fly the British flag (although the union jack is imbedded in it), or the USA flag?

All I can think of is Enosis still exists.

I think that you are implying that coming out of the "trnc" which DOES NOT fly the Turkish flag !!!
Mate there is nothing that I as a Cypriot hate more than to see foreign flags flying in any part of Cyprus , indeed I have remonstrated many times with St Nicholas church in Limassol for persistently flying the Greek flag and not our flag.
The instances however of Greek flags flying in the RoC if compared to the Turkish flags in the occupied parts fail into insignificance. Frankly there is not one street in the "TRNC" THAT DOES NOT FLY THE TURKISH FLAG AS WELL AS ALL PETROL STATIONS.
May I also say that I consider both foreign flags an insult to Cyprus.
Your suspicions are .....crap. We the G/Cs as well as countless T/Cs have come of age , Cyprus is our homeland , which is yours mate ?

Cyprus is Greek and Cypriots (the vast majority of them, those who have 1000s of years history on this island) are Greek. The only reason why Cyprus is not part of the Greek state today is that this right was denied to the Cypriot people by the foreign imperialists.

The 'Flag on the Mountain' (from the point of view of the Turks) is quite a brilliant creation and placed in a perfect position to ensure that the festering hatreds which have been created between formally friendly neighbours, continues to maintain it's desired affect in ensuring (and encouraging) the T/C's to form the required allegiance to Turkey.

THAT is what flags are for. (IMHO)

Piratis do please allow me to raise a fundamental point in response to your assertion that Cyprus is Greek and the people on it are Greeks.
Where may I ask does it leave people such as I , a proud Cypriot and one who considers himself a Greek Cypriot but in no way a Greek .We use therm ELLINOKIPREOS and ELLADITIS.
We are Cypriots first and foremost , have NEVER been a part of Greece , we are related there is no doubt about that but we not Greeks we are Cypriots.

[Kikapu]

The answer to aussieturk's question is a very simple one, and that is, flying the Greek flag (and Turkish flag) in the RoC is allowed by the 1960 constitution, that's all.!

[Nikitas]

"All I can think of is Enosis still exists."

Yes it does, north of the green line, where all things are ruled by Turkey's iron fist. And you are trying to pretend here that you saw no Turkish flags in the north. What are you, a wind up artist?

Yeah, I can see where the confusion can arise. Ok, sorry man, my bad.
