insan ... I live in a multicultural society and I don't have a problem with it at all infact I love it and I love the cultures and food and people. It is the way that TC's are side passed that concerns me. If your happy to be assimilated to the wider Turkish culture that is fine. You have no clue about democracy me thinks. Would you support integration of the political parties both greek and turkish I do.
Humanist, believe it or not; I have never seen any assimilation attempt by Turkey towards TC community... Almost all mass media companies belong to TCs and they present too many programs, interviews, cultural programs in TC dialect... What we had been culturally doing centuries ago we still have been doing... Using Greek, Italian, French and English words in Cypriot dialect, halloumi, lapsana, golifa, magarına bulli... everything... The ones that had naturally been assimilated and have still been assimilated were/are foreigners... not only citizens of Turkey but also settlers from Bulgaria, Turkmenistan etc... They all sound like TC when they talk and most of them show general TC characteristics...
Those people who gradually settled in Cyprus from starting 1975 up until 5 years ago mustn't confused with tourists, job seekers, students, illegal work force, Turkish soldiers who r temporarily in North and has nothing to do with TC culture... and what's wrong with cultural exchange with other countries/cultures including Turkey?
As for the integration of Cyprus' political parties... Let those corrupt, illiterate, incompetent nincompoops do whatever they like... talk about integration of good people of Cyprus and get my support...
