Motherlands or Adulthood

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Motherlands or Adulthood

Postby londoner » Tue May 10, 2011 5:09 pm

In my opinion it's time for Cypriots to consider moving away from their childlike dependence on their Mother(lands) and grow their own Cypriot identity. There cannot be many other independent nations where so many flags of two other nations are flying everywhere.

good question. u should do a poll! some idiots are even ashamed of the term "cypriot" and prefer to use the noun "cyprus" for anything from the island.

Totally agree. Having a "motherland" as a citizen of a country that had to fight for its independence is an insecure and immature notion. The only place in Cyprus for foreign flags should be outside embassies. TCs are of course between a rock and a hard place.

Wikipedia definition is clear enough

Cypriot may refer to:
Something of, from, or related to the country of Cyprus
A person from Cyprus, or of Cypriot descent.

There is no "Cypriot" nation we lost that opportunity in 1963.
