I dont suppose that nincompoop has ever heard of Dale Carnegie either. What a plonker.

No, but I've heard of Georges Clemenceau...

“There is no instance in Europe, Asia or Africa, where the establishment of Turkish domination over another country has not resulted in a decline of material prosperity and a decline in civilization. Wherever Turkey has emerged victorious it has brought catastrophe."

[Get Real!]

If as you state Get Real is the voice of the majority of Greeks that please lets make this separation permanent, in fact a 16ft high wall between north and south might not be a bad idea if it means a good nights sleep for both sides.

Separation? YOU WISH!

It's a paddle boat and all the way back to Anatolia for you.

Btw, I should mention at this stage that we visit Cyprus once every couple of years and we normally fly into Ercan.

Do you normally "fly" into "Ercan" and out of Larnaca?

I'm sure he did this to rub salt into our wound.

What "wound"?

... a huge message for me and my wife. That message was clearly, "I don't like you, in fact I hate you, now get out my site"

Sounds like you are harbouring guilt with such an interpretation.

and heard a side of my wife (English first name but typical Turkish surname) I never before. She shouted at me " ...

As we sat down recovering from this humiliation she further commented that we will never ever fly into the south again and we will never visit Greek restaurants again, and worst of all I'm never to mention "reunification" again.

Your wife sounds like a controlling nasty piece of unladylike hostile-ridden neurotic regret-filled saddo! (for marrying you?)

You are quick to judge one tired, overworked official on the basis of one macho, forceful closure of a passport and yet you label this "woman" - your wife - a "lady"?

Man, you are seriously deluded ...

There has been serious debate within the RoC on this point and it was a borderline decision not to arrest EU citizens, mainly because some of them could have visited the occupied areas in the past due to lack of understanding of the circumstances.

Can you arrest EU citizens and what do you think the EU would do?

So in order not to punish those, the rest of them - i.e. the scum of the earth that consciously opts to fly to a so-called airport (ILLEGAL for every country in the world except criminal Turkey, not to mention built on stolen land) and support the brutal military occupation regime - got away too.

You cannot arrest them, you tried but soon were forced to comply with EU laws.

So the TA is here to protect you is it? Even though this is 2010 and Cyprus is EU-land.

Even more than ever have read what people like GR want to do?

Are you sure that it's not here to ensure that the looting, theft and crimes against GCs continue? If not, then why does it not occupy 12% of land, which is what TCs own or at most 18% which is your population?? What is the justification for occupying 37% of land and 60% plus of coast??

Do you know why in every round of negotiations your leaders accept a % of around 28% if you then you will know why we warrant such a percentage.

The only reason I can think of is that iit's because you are a race of dirty little thieves and criminals.. who want to keep the spoils of war at the expense of your compatriots - with whom you supposedly want to live in "peace".

What have you got to say about what the GCs did the TCs during the 1960s? where were you then to comment like you have done above?

There will be no peace until you return what you have stolen.

So when will you restore what you have stolen from us?

Hello to all you seasoned members, Im new here so please be gentle with me. I like to share my recent experience with you on my travels to Cyprus. I found this experience humiliating and have since had a change of heart for "reunification".

I flew into Larnaca with my English wife. we had our 2 weeks holidays in Kyrenia. During the 2 weeks we crossed over the border 3 times with TC friends and enjoyed some GC food and hospitality. The people we went out with are keen on reunification.

Btw, I should mention at this stage that we visit Cyprus once every couple of years and we normally fly into Ercan. I have tried to be as impartial as possible in explaining to my wife the problems of Cyprus. I also made it clear to her that my wish for the island was for Greeks and Turks to live side by side in peace and harmony.

Anyways, we had our 2 weeks holiday and checked in at Larnaca for our flight back, the check in and security was uneventful. It turned ugly when we went through police/passport control. We were in a line of about 8-10 people. each time the next person/s went and showed their passports the officer sitting in the kiosk would smile and ask if everything was OK and if they enjoyed their stay in Cyprus, he would then wish them a good flight, He genuinely looked like a nice man. However, when I handed our 2 passports he looked at both the pictures and the names and just banged them hard on the wooden surface in front him and turned to the next couple behind us with a smile and "how are you, you enjoy Cyprus?", I'm sure he did this to rub salt into our wound. Let me point out that if he didn't ask if we were OK or not or if we enjoyed Cyprus or not I wouldn't care, he doesn't have to be pleasant, he just needs to be professional. It is the loud way he close the passports and banged them on the desk that had a huge message for me and my wife. That message was clearly, "I don't like you, in fact I hate you, now get out my site"

As I took the passports I saw and heard a side of my wife (English first name but typical Turkish surname) I never before. She shouted at me " and you're telling me you're going to reunite with this people and live happily ever after?" The Greek officer and the others in the line could also hear this and they exchanged uncomfortable looks.

As we sat down recovering from this humiliation she further commented that we will never ever fly into the south again and we will never visit Greek restaurants again, and worst of all I'm never to mention "reunification" again.

An airport is the shop window of any country, this man was clearly a Turk hater, if the Gcs are negotiating for a united Cyprus then why have a racist Turk hater like him on duty? I had never met this man before, I was not rude to him, was he right to treat me like this because of my Turkish name? More important, was he right to be rude to a lady who just happens to carry a Turkish surname? If we ever unite what are the chances of me and my wife getting this treatment repeatedly?

Whats the point of reuniting when clearly we dont like each other, even hate each other?

If you were trying to be impartial you'd choose the terms highlighted more carefully.

hello there,

sorry to hear you had such a bad time and experience in the south side of cyprus in the larnaka airport with the very rude police officer, i can tell you my auntie has had turkish mainlanders at her house we made friends, they never had any problems at the airport. Maybe just as you said it was that one man, but how can they know he will act this way? im not trying to say it was ok for him to do it but the people who put him there probably did not know he would be like that, maybe he aw your trnc stamps and did not like that either, but so many tcs cross and come to larnaka and have no problems at all.

its also sad to see the actions of one man has put you off ever coming into the south and to hating cypriots.. but having a tc wife i can see how easily that will happen and how anti gc she seems to be.

i have met many tcs and turks who are worse. who have thrown stones at our dead ex president who shout abuse at every chance just like some of the turk haters in the south, both sides are just as bad as each other those hard liners who are opposite but more alike then they care to admit.

i cross into the north all the time and i never have problems and my friends who come to the south never do either.

it was nice that you saw both sides and not just stuck to the one side and that you did have an open mind. if i was you i would of been put off also. but you cant judge a whole race based off the actions of one person..

i hope that you would of got on well in your other places you visited..

no matter what happens i believe we can live together no matter what happens online in forums or in person or what i hear on the news deaths by gc or tc..

and on a separate note. last time i was at larnaka air port the man went passed they where talking about football they where all laughing how are you what are the score? i went up there saying kalispera ( good evening) how are you being polite, he did not even look at me he just took my id card and stamped it on the white desk and did not say a word to me.. i had no idea if it was ok to carry on walking lol and i have no tc blood in me.. my surname is Grigoriou... so maybe it was not even a tc thing. its just your wife over reacting.

[Viewpoint]

Why do you GCs try to make excuses and not just condemn this "police officer" even complain about his racists actions and that he should be removed from his post. If this is not done these people will just increase and take more agressive action. Its the same with your government offices are these people especially picked trained to be nasty? why do we have to put up with them?
