...we are grecophones, that can be said. as a dwelling population this island's roots are not like Greece, and they are older.

person, that sense of belonging is quite different to our identity as individuals. in a Bicommunal State both identities are nurtured. seriously, what is wrong with one entity, a Republic, that through its Government is Sovereign, representing and defending all Citizens equally, without prejudice, as well as at least two National Assemblies with territories overwhich their Jurisdiction promotes respect for Minorities with their needs, Citizens as Persons sustaining their Majority's agenda with this Goodwill. (it's a long sentence, but it's a good one i think)

futuristically, we can choose a more noble experiment in living; we could define bizonal and bicommunal in a manner which can be emulated within a wider Family of Man, (and yes, this is what is asked of us,) bettering ourselves with their betterment. Cyprus, it's population is very small compared to the existence it will have in two hundred years. with Europe no longer at its advent as a Union then, and our demographic changed from forces that cannot be resisted, where will "Greek" be on this island unless Cypriots sustain and promote a desire by many ethnospheres to have this ability; (our) Greek with other languages transparent to it has greater chances of adapting to change with an infrastructure that facilitates such exchange. replace Greek with Maronite, Armenian, Turk, and in that sense consider the value of National Assemblies.

...there's no need to remind you that what has been agreed to in this round of negociations is anything but two and only two governing bodies. Bicommunalism means thinking of one, and, thinking of many; that's why "we" reply to, origins? Cypriot, (an ethnic background) Cypriot.

am not really following this debate, but I think Turkish speaking Cypriots can be just as much a Cypriot as a Greek speaking Cypriot. As perhaps an English person who has been granted citizenship and associates as a Cypriot. I consider myself Australian and am always challenged both by white Anglos and the Greek and Cypriot Community.

Of course they can. Nobody says otherwise. What is not right, it's the effort by some forumers to deprimand GCs from their Hellenic roots.

We, the GCs, are Hellenes in ethnicity, and Cypriots in citizenship. Equivalently TCs, are Turks in ethnicity, and Cypriots in citizenship.

...that's right, don't count on me, i am neither "Greek" or "Turk", i come from a "mixed" village. we did not run away when others fled, we stayed because we are Cypriots, many are missing; homeless indeed, because of the Intolerance that has no expression but a hypocritical exclusivity, to have a threat from another side like plunderers.

if you are proud of being Greek or Turk, that is good if as Cypriots we demonstrate a Humanity that can respect the value of their sustenance.
