Just before I bid you good night. Just look at the situation as it unfolds at the English School. There is a minority of 115 Turkish Cypriot parents within the Parents Association. The principle of one man one vote sounds very good indeed. The result of the recent elections: An all Greek Cypriot Parents Association Committee was elected. Now, the TC parents will organise their own Parents Association.

Majoritism has worked its miracle again. It has excluded some capable and interesting people because of their ethnicity, language and religion. The GC's enjoy absolute power and the goods that come with it. At the level of a bloody school!

When it comes to the level of running a country? I bet they would commit murder. They do not call them nationalist bastards for nothing.

We read today that Papadopolousis son was the instigator of the problems has he has blocked funding because the TCs threaten the Hellenic basis of the school.

Fortunately, in a democracy minorities can do that. Just like when I went to a school of 500 mostly British kids and the dozen or so Greek students had to go to a private Greek school for that little bit of extra schooling ...

Unfortunately, the label “Turkish Cypriot” has over the decades become synonymous with “renegade”, “separatist”, “non Cypriot”, and “anti Cypriot”, in the eyes of the overwhelming majority of Cypriots so it might be an idea for them to evolve away from the irrevocably stigmatized “Turkish Cypriot” label and onto the more accepted “Cypriot” label!

In other words… they need to realize that self segregation is self prejudice!

So the Africans should stop calling themselves Africans? its called racism and you GCs are experts at it.

Wise,compassionate,intelligent posts from one of the few GCs on this forum who keeps giving us some hope for a just future for the TCs in their own country...Thank you Bananiot...whenever I give up all hope,and begin to think Partition is inevitable,there is no way we can ever live together again,you pop up and lighten my spirit again...

When the futile attempts of the ultranationalists,fascists,Hellenic supremists,and their counterparts,to stop us from becoming a united nation finally goes bankrupt,we will find the opportunity and the goodwill to work for a just future for all Cypriots...When those responsible for our present seemingly hopeless situation realise there are far more fair-minded,empathetic,compassionate Cypriots who will not bend to their threats and intimidations,and when they realise they cannot hide from history,we will get a chance to rebuild our battered homeland from the scratch...All we have to do is hang in there,the time is running out for the bloodyminded merchants of hatred,division,bitterness,and death...

I am not sure about what elections and what committee you are talking about. According to the English School website there are 3 TC members in the English School council out of 15. That is 20% of the council members, which is far more than the percentage of TC students in that school. Therefore democracy (and majority rule) gave to TCs more than a proportionate share in that council.

But probably you are talking about some other elections, where the TCs didn't get the over-representation they are so used to. And what was their reaction? Conflict, separation and division! (and after such disrespectful reaction to the results of democratic elections who would blame the others if they don't vote for such TCs again?)

These are signs of people that do not understand what democracy is. They accept democracy when the result suits them, and reject democracy when it does not! The problem is therefore neither with GCs, nor with democracy, but with those TCs.

In Cyprus we also have the Armenian, Maronite and Latin minorities. They respect the majority and in return they receive respect from the majority. How come democracy can work just fine with everybody and everywhere, except with your Turkish friends?

Who are the compassionate Cypriots?

Those like yourself who support a "solution" based on the ethnic cleansing and human rights violations of 100s of thousands of innocent people? Those who want to make GCs "pay the price" (your words) for everything that happened in the past?

Or maybe the compassionate Cypriots are those like myself, who support equality of all Cypriots without racist discriminations, without segregation, and without trying to punish innocent people because of what happened in the past?

The answer is obvious.

Unfortunately whom you like are not the compassionate Cypriots, but those Cypriots like Bananiot who are willing to accept your racist terms, and let you officially Turkify the north part of Cyprus and enjoy privileges and powers on the expense of our human and democratic rights.

Regarding the ban on the construction of minarets, the prayer towers of mosques, in Switzerland, Leuthard said that it was a construction ban and it did not prevent anyone from worshiping in mosques. It was a referendum and it should be respected, she said.
