You're talking UNFOUNDED RUBBISH!
You’ll find that all those who feel the way you do have ONE thing in common which makes all the difference!
You all had your primary and/or secondary schooling in Cyprus in accordance with the Greek thesis and curriculum submitted by Greece to the Cypriot ministry of education!
True or false?
False!
I had an Australian Education throughout and grew up in the country for most of my life as my father, a first generation Migrant with broken English served his second country in the Army as a Chef in the Snowy Mountains where I was born and grew up. And how lucky was I to have lived there????
Australians have always known that most Cypriots are Greek!
Then you must’ve had your spirit broken by your parents for you can’t think for yourself and just repeat the same tired and erroneous mantra!
On the contrary. My father was very inspirational to me. He was a go getter, and not your typical migrant. He went out and learned a trade within the Anglo and conservative ADF, then into business and had a colorful and rich life in Australia, and his background and contacts helped me to get where I am now.
Always gave people space to make up their own mind.
Oh btw, I went to an Irish Catholic Private School, and grew up with mostly Irish farmers from the greater area.
Then I guess we’ll settle that you’re just plain stupid!
Fallmerayer, was one of the few scholars/historians who would not bow down to anti-Ottoman political pressure and accept manufactured history for a political cause in the early 1800s, when he concluded…
“The race of the Hellenes has been wiped out in Europe. Physical beauty, intellectual brilliance, innate harmony and simplicity, art, competition, city, village, the splendour of column and temple — indeed, even the name has disappeared from the surface of the Greek continent.... Not the slightest drop of undiluted Hellenic blood flows in the veins of the Christian population of present-day Greece.”
I don't give a damn about what blood flows through the veins of Greeks, Cypriots or Australians for that matter. Ethnicity has nothing at all to do with that or genetics, even though genes are a byproduct of evolution within a given environment and the genetic similarity between Cypriots and Greeks is uncanny and that is not to say that humans as a whole share some 98% of genes with chimpanzees.
I think you're the idiot, because the Hellenic world is very much alive in Greece, Cyprus and the world, and in the case of the former 2, this has been the case for thousands of years, and it will never be snuffed out by Turkey, other Imperialists or YOU!
