Does anyone see a similarity between S. Kyprianou and Dr. F. Küçük? I used to think they were related.

T-Pap looks more Choirokittian than Gibriyanu but nevertheless both were heavily assimilated by Hellenes... not Greeks of course... but both were under heavy influence of Greek leaderships, politically...

You talk of their brains, whilst I am on about their physical aspects.

I bet on this one! He looks like a real Cypriot. He has a marvelous voice... but i doubt he inherited some genes from a mixed origin Anatolian ancestor during the Ottman rule...

Hmmm, Placido Domingo plus a hefty moustache Definitely Spanish Eyes.

History depends on who writes it and from which angle one reads it. Affirming our uniquely Greek or Turkish origins requires a stretch of the imagination only found in Cyprus. And just what do we mean by Greek, the Glory that was or the bankrupt nation that is? And by Turkish do we refer to Kemal Ataturk’s reunification of a country and its people or today’s human rights fiasco?

What’s wrong with being simply Cypriot, a race of mixed tribes emanating mostly from Asia Minor and the Middle East?

Had the Phoenician, Hittite or Assyrian civilisations gone on to be more renowned than Ancient Greece’s, would we be claiming our origins as Lebanese or Syrian? At the time of Our Lord, most of the coastal regions of Asia Minor and the Middle East spoke a form of Greek, yet none claim Greek origin today.

When, a year or more ago, a prominent Cypriot football club went to Athens to play a return match against a prominent Greek club, Greek supporters were heard to shout, ‘Go home, Turkish donkeys!’ or words to that effect. Strangely, I did not take exception to my fellow countrymen being called Turkish – but donkeys...?
