Sad but true. But why would they want to? To them, we appear backward-looking. When they visit forums like this to get a better understanding of the issue ... they are bombarded with anti western/American rhetoric. Who wants to read that sh|t? What shall we call ourselves...who the f-ck are the Cherikitians? When ever Cyprus is mentioned in the US media like the LA Times, MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post, etc...said site becomes bombarded with some commentators who say thousands of TC's were killed, there needed to be an 'intervention'....and other commentators who talk of UN resolutions and invasion. When ever we demonstrate there is always a counter demonstration. It must seem childish to someone on the outside looking in.
