Cyprus is a Greek island. So either you are foreigner or you are a traitor. Which one is it?
I am a Turkish Cypriot,but a Cypriot first...My motherland is not a Greek island...It has never been a Greek island...It will NEVER be a Greek island...Get used to it,or go and live on a Greek island,there are plenty to chose from.Some are more beautiful than Cyprus...You will be very happy ...Leave Cyprus to Cypriots...You were once a traitor willing to gift Cyprus to Greece,now you must be a foreigner if you think Cyprus is a Greek island...
But Cyprus is a Greek Island! It has been a Greek island for thousands of years!
If you can't handle our history, customs, culture, or our ID, then please leave Cyprus alone and piss off to Turkey! Some parts of Turkey are more beautiful than Cyprus. You will be very happy there.
Leave Cyprus to Cypriots, who are free to practice their culture without let or hindrance from invaders such as you!
I am more of a Cypriot than you will ever be,sunshine...I was born in Cyprus and lived there for the first 17 years of my life...And I never thought Cyprus was a foreign island! They speak English in Australia too,and the majority are of anglo/celtic background...But try telling them they are English or British and see how far you get...What is the difference between Cyprus and Australia??? Lets hear your wisdom,if you have any!..
The difference is that Australians are free to do what they want with their own territory, while in Cyprus we have foreigners imposing on us their will by force. Do you think that if Australians
choose to be part of the UK that they would have been forced to be separate? They still choose to have the UK flag embedded in their own flag, and the Queen of England as their own Queen. They can be as close to the UK as they
choose. It is this choice we want for our own island. The
freedom to take democratic decisions for our own lands, without foreign intervention.
Cyprus is 800.000 people. To put this into context, our population is the same as a neighborhood of London. We love our neighborhood (Cyprus) but this doesn't mean we do not care about our nation as a whole. The fact is that we are Greek, and the
only reason that Cyprus is not part of the Greek state is that foreign imperialists restricted our freedom. Other than that there is absolutely no difference between Cyprus and any other Greek island.
You can fool yourself as much as you like about the reasons why you still insist you are Greek,after thousands of years of Cypriot history,geography,and cultural melting pot,not to mention mixed geneology...The fact remains,Australians had enough respect in themselves,and enough courage and trust in their own unique identity to show the finger to the Brits,after 200 short years...You are still miserably dependent on a foreign identity,afraid of standing on your own 2 feet,begging to be admitted to a nationality you have no claim to...I feel sorry for you...You are a throwback from the middle ages,a savage self-loathing individual who wants to live on false pretences...You can take your Greekness and stick it where the sun won't shine,even the Greeks want nothing to do with you...
Australians are a very unique and lovely people. They are very friendly, caring, and a tolerant people. Australians are are mosaic of many cultures.
The most dominant cultures are English, Irish, Scottish, German, and Italian in that order. These groups constitute about 85% of the Australian population. After them come all the other minorities.
Now, Australians don't like change, and they have
chosen to be
symbolically connected to the UK as we still have the Union Jack on our Flag, and maintain the Crown as our very own. Ask any Australian as to who they are, and they will tell you that they are Australian. Ask them again as to their heritage and they will say that they are Australian of English, Irish or Scottish inheritance or whatever the case may be. In fact, many Australians can even trace their family tree back to a particular convict, as the British and Australians are very meticulous about keeping very accurate records, and these Aussies will tell you, when pressed that their heritage is English, Irish, or Scottish and that their Ancestor came out to Australia on the First Fleet as a Convict. It just so happens that the first Australians which came out as convicts are now the wealthiest land owners in the country. People might not be aware, but Nicole Kidman traced your ancestry back that far, as her Ancestors were indeed Convicts, and the Kidman family in Australia is one of the wealthiest families in the land, listed in Australia's top BRW index. The Kidman family own a number of Stations in Australia.
In fact, many people might not be aware, but apparently there was a GC amongst the first Australian Convicts. This GC then Anglicised his name, after arriving in Australia. I remember someone researching this, but I don't recall any details.
