"Turkish Cypriot"... an endangered species.

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

After posting here for over 5 years,I have come to certain conclusions I'd like to share with you...

The notion of Cypriotism is alive and well ONLY with those who do not actually live in Cyprus...

Unless you are married to a member of the "other" community,people here are totally incapable of any human feelings like empathy,compassion,understanding or respect...

The only real solution to the Cyprus problem is to make it compulsory by law for people to marry ONLY someone from the "other" community...

Since that is NOT going to happen the only realistic solution is for the North to be an ethnically cleanesed TC state run by Turkey,and the South to be an ethnically cleased GC state run by those susbscribing to the fanatical TC/Turk hating Hellenic ideology...

All the political arguments here eventually descent into namecalling,insults,and worse with people cleary exhibiting the historical animosity,suspicion,denial,and intense hatred of the "other"...which brought us here in the first place!

Apart from that all is rather rosy here,and we get on like a house on fire... :wink:


Hi Bir,

You are giving up on Cyprus as a whole my friend.

The solution is not about race or marriages or hatred or ethnic cleansing by Turkey or others.

The settlement (as I understand it) would put an end to the fragile situation we currently see in Cyprus. Both Turkey & Greece shall be sterilized from their harmful influences on our people. Security will be guarantied for all by the EU.

I see two distinct societies emerging with RoC as a vehicle of representation. An imaginary dividing line would still be there due to language & religion reasons only. The race issue must be, and will be out of the picture.

In time, under the EU umbrella, all our differences will be resolved. The citizens of Cyprus will be European Cypriots omitting the GC/TC divisional naming.

When asked where I come from, I say I am Cypriot, period. No need to say "Greek Cypriot".

Do yo know how many times I reply in the same manner, saying that I am Cypriot? On every occasion the response I get is, "oh, so you are Greek then". Sad isnt it. Ofcourse I have to correct them. :lol:

Pure utopia this maybe the long term goal but we are still unable to agree a structure that will take us there, this has been the problem for over 50 years. We thought "Cypriots" could find a solution but no thats not the case as you can see from the ongoing talks which have produced nothing.

I tend to agree with you VP.

If someone would sit back and examine the 36 year long effort to resolve the problem, the conclusion would be = politicians from both sides are unable to reach an agreement for a variety of reasons.

There must be another way to approach the Cyprob by-passing the current political participants, since "their hands are tied".

Some time ago, I proposed to examine Binding Arbitration(BA) as a last resort to solving the problem. Of course, the idea was rejected immediately from both sides. Reason = BA is not fail proof.

Well, I guess another 36 years is imminent or preferred. Back to the drawing board, I'm afraid.

In the Americas (USA, Canada, Mexico etc) I say Cypriot. To my amazement, very few people know where Cyprus is on the map. Out of these few people, a very small percentage know about GCs & TCs. So, unlike you, I don't have to correct a whole lot of people here...

The Yankees, especially in the south, don't even know their own country. Ignorance is a widespread phenomenon.

A few years back, I was at a corner store in Miami, Florida to buy some smokes. The attendant, curious enough, asked me where I was coming from. I replied, Canada. He was stunned... and asked... No way, you don't look like an Eskimo!

Americans would visit Canada in the summer time with their snow skis on the roof rack of the cars, thinking Canada is covered with snow all year round... go figure.
