Forgive for stating the bleedin' obvious... the correct and only term for both is Cypriot.

Let's dump the divisive phrases of the divide and rule Former Colonial Power and let's also stop playing in to the hands of the Partitionists.

First thing is for both communities to make an effort to remove the Greek and Turkish flags from general use, then only observe Cypriot holidays, and just have one official language (probably English). Then people might start thinking themselves as Cypriot...

Cert agree with foreign flags.

...but language is so much more diff. Suggest a return to the past when for conversational use Kybraika was used by all (despite what the likes of VP may claim.

We always thought ourselves as Cypriots. And English is a foreign language.

Greeks regard Turkish as a foreign language (and vice versa).

Another cock-up of the British. In 1911 (or somewhere around there) when they decided that the schools for the two main communities on the island would teach in their own languages (Greek and Turkish), they should have taken the fascist route and made all the schools teach in English (it would have made things a lot easier for me!).

It would have meant the loss of our very rich Cypriot (Cyprus?) language, but I do think it would have narrowed the divide.
