Bananiot is an advocate of Eugenics. He preaches extermination of undesired groups and blesses the 70 Million Turks in their Expansionism to cleanse all vestiges of "Greek" - Speaking in "Greek" is racist, bigoted and fascistic and punishable.

[Bananiot]

The Albanian orthodox influx started in the 12th century and by the 13th, Peloponisos was basically Albanian. The locals were decimated by disease and pirate attacks. Even today, many places in Peloponisos retain Albanian names, Spata being one such example. Many of the leaders that rose against the Turks in 1821 were Albanian, even Mpoumpoulina! The Greek navy that was set up after independence under Kanaris, was mostly Albanian. The sailors couldn't even speak Greek, only arvanitika!

Why is it so difficult to be Cypriot?

Because people who tend to forget their past, are unaware of the present...

A Turkish invasion in 1974 is not enough to 'Americanize' or 'Australianize' the population of Cyprus.

As for Cyprus Mail, check who funds them...

this man seems to have the answer you are looking 4:

As the Europeans move in (their second language English) Greek as the lingua franca of the Republic will struggle to survive untarnished. After all, 100 years ago, few Cypriots spoke it, wrote it or could read it.

Is there a civilised country left untarnished by global English?

Meanwhile, Greek has taken on an unprecedented resurgence in UK schools!

Is there a civilised country left untarnished by global English?

Is England civilised enough to qualify?

They're wiping the slate clean and starting afresh with pure Greek - no latinised corruptions.

what an exaggeration, I struggle to find anything you post seriously, you are making out that 11 million Greeks have been bastardised by a group of people who numbered 200,000 MAX at their peak population. You can take your anti-hellenic crap elsewhere.

And for your information, why does it seem so significant to you that Arvanites may have been assimilated into the culture???

To me this makes no difference - I don't care for some pseudo-Aryan fully Greek blooded link to the past. The arvanites were more Greek than ANYONE else in the 1821 revolution. They fought with their trust in Orthodoxy, with their faith in God for Greece, for freedom and for national independence for the Greek state. Their is nothing more noble than that, I am proud of the achievements for the Arvanites, to me they are as Greek as anyone else and should be proud of that.

You said Fallmerayer was perhaps the greatest anti-hellene ever, I think his disciple here Babaniotis might have surpassed him in that regard.

Fucking enosis scum.

Fucking taksim scum

[Bananiot]

AEKtzis, where did I say that Fallmerayer was perhaps the greatest anti-hellene ever? He is the greatest anti-hellene ever, for those that shut off their senses and minds to the truth. For the Greek nationalists he is anathema and no doubt, you and the usual suspects do not think much of him. This German scholar, who did some extremely serious work, mostly based on Byzantine historians, simply showed that the present day inhabitants of Greece are not decendants of the ancient Greeks.

AEKtzis, I think you should also read "Polemos kai Etnokatharsi", there is so much to be learned from this book. Try it, if you are Greek enough, you won't badge an inch, I can assure you.



Good reading! A couple of years ago I lent it to a Greek literature teacher (of your school of thought) in Larnaca. He fell from the sky.

Greek has taken on an unprecedented resurgence in UK schools!

Hardly surprising as the Govt of Greece has generously offered to PAY for the Greek Language Courses lol!

And we all know how Brits (including blow-ins like Oracle) do love a freebie!
