Shit VP, with a thought process like that you do make yourself an easy target
Do you not accept that for Turkey NOT to have invited Children from the RoC "is nothing more than first hand discrimination and racism".
Which is better not to be invited at all or go to the games and say you are not playing due to some of the children being of TC origin?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Now I get it
, They weren't invited because they may have thrown their dummies out of the pram when they realised that TC Children would be present, From that perspective Ankara should be thanked for saving them the Airfare
With that sorted, whose for solving the CyProb
If this was a genuine "World Children's Day", then Turkey cannot pick and choose who she can invite. It should be open to all children of the world who wishes to come. Country of origin of these children shouldn't even matter, but obviously it did to Turkey by not inviting children from Cyprus which is recognised world over. The 88 other countries who sent their children also do not recognise the "trnc", but they put their politics aside and came anyway, because they were under the impression it was about children and not politics. Turkey should have done the same with the RoC. Turkey was playing politics with these children by acting like a child themselves, and the fact that Greece left may be seen as childish also, but it was important for them to point out to Turkey that, their racist attitude towards RoC children had no place in this event, so as a protest, they left. Personally they did the right thing to protest Turkey's racists discrimination towards refusing to invite the children of the RoC. It just puts Turkey in bad light, and under the circumstances, they deserve it, that's all.
If Turkey were to be smart, they should have invited the RoC with children from all communities to attend, and if Cyprus then refuse to participate, then it would have been the RoC who would have looked like Pricks. But since Turkey did not do that, it is them who ended up looking like Pricks. I wonder how many countries would come in the future if Turkey again does not invite the RoC also.? If the rest of the countries also want to play politics as Turkey did with this even, my guess is, many countries that attended would drop out for the next event.
