Unfortunately people like VP (the self-proclaimed "average TC") would rather live in a mosque, ride a camel, eat dates and wear a mufti, than relinquish the ill-gotten gains that Turkey's military has secured for him.

Who is going to make up for the 35 years we have lost, and the infinite amount of propaganda to make life as hard as it possibly can be for us, over here?

At least you have the option to live there. You didn't give the option to us, since you forced GCs out of there on gun point.

If you think it is hard to live there then you can always leave, like you forced us to do, but at least for you it is an option and nobody will steal your property if you choose to do so.

Funny how you demand to live without any problems on your ancestral land, but at the same time you don't want to allow to us to do the same. It is due to this that there has been no solution for 36 years. If you didn't insist on the ethnic cleansing of Greek Cypriots and the artificial creation of some "Turkish state" on land where the GCs have been the vast majority for 1000s of years, then there wouldn't be any Cyprus problem, and both you and the Greek Cypriots would be able to live without any problems on their own lands.

Oh yeah you had to move 100Km down south, that is such a bitch

Hardly comparable to being asked to leave the island is it?

You cannot live in your ancestral homes, because you support the denial of us living in ours.

Sorry the "balance of power" was eventually on our side

I've only been here a short while and only seen a handful of posts by ViewPoint. I'm of the belief that most of what he says is out of frustration. Frustration of the on going and never ending Cyprus saga. I personally don't know of any TC's that do not want a reunited Cyprus.

Our biggest concern is discrimination, my experience at the airport. OK, it wasn't a big deal but never the less as BirKibrisli put it, one bad egg is enough to ruin the omelette. Then you read about a certain couple of ladies in an office who regularly give TC's hell. Do we really need this?

I regularly visit official places in London, my physical appearance and accent shouts out foreigner, but I don't have civil servants disrespecting me, I get the job done and and thank you very much I'm off.

Until the GC's accept us equal Cypriots, until they rid themselves of the hatred they possess for us there will never be peace on the island.

I wonder if exorcism would work on you guys? Btw, Get Real may soon become an honorary member of My World, you interested?

If you expect that to happen while holding 37% of Cypriot territory hostage and blackmailing the RoC, you must be very stupid!

You have earned the hatred 100% so shut up and enjoy it!

If you didn't like it you’d abide by international law…

Cyprus is not your ancestral home you little Turkish penguin!

Try the Anatolian goat villages or something…

Why did you not obey international law 40 years ago?

Who the hell are you to decide?

Our arrival turned this place into a country, not your sorry peasant-like existence.

Xenophobic baboon!

Why... what happened in 1970? Brazil won the world cup I think...

Did Pele commit any fouls and we're to blame?

For starters, when you address a Cypriot of ancient Choirokitian ancestry you should stand attention!

Are you standing and saluting right now?


Err, sorry... the matches have started! Bye!

Turkey's (and before Turkey, its forebears the Ottomans) actions in Cyprus have made many Cypriots despise anything with a Turkish descriptor, even "Turkish" Cypriots. (That's why lokumi is called 'Cyprus Delight' in the free areas). Why not rename yourselves "Not-very-religious" Cypriots, or something, oh, and drop the Turkish language. People would like you better then. I mean, Maronites don't get a hard time do they?

To be fair, Turkey's army doesn't illegally occupy London, though.

Turkey goes out of her way to ensure anything "Turkish" is despised. Why else the flag in the mountain, the statues of Ataturk on every corner, the desecration of churches and graveyards, the systematic destruction of thousands of years of Cypriot culture? Drop the "Turkish". You'll have a lot more luck, I guarantee.
