It seems to me that for these people the worst side of the Kypreos is better compared to the best side of the mainland Turks. And they know first hand that both the Kypreos and the Kibrislis are the same thing.
So unlike you who made up your opinion from hearsay stories from your mother while living in England and builded a whole world of phobias inside you, they have first hand experience and they know better.
That's my FIRM opinion.
So it's not a matter of supporting the Kypreos as far is they-and particularly Kikapu is concerned. It's a matter of supporting their own country for the sake of all Cypriots.
I've just seen this post, Pyro. It is those damn Avatars being on the right, is the reason why I missed it. Hopefully Admin will put them on the left next week.
Thank you for reminding everyone of my tragic childhood days, Pyro. I'm a believer that
Time Does Not Stand Still and that people need to move on with the times, or else they stay stuck in the past.
As for Bir, he is a great Cypriot, a Turkish Cypriot who has also had tragic childhood along with Deniz, Halil, Issy, MR-from-NG and many more. The past cannot be changed, but we can sure do something about the future. I believe Bir's predicaments which came about fairly recently is an unfortunate one, one that was NOT of his own making. I'm not at all surprise with his recent attitude on the forum, which I support him 100%. Enough said.
In multicultural societies problems can occur naturally on their own. In Cyprus these problems between the ethnic groups were manufactured and were not natural, are the reasons why I believe Cypriots can make it together as long as outsiders do not manufacture problems for the Cypriots. I see Turkey as an invading occupying force in my country of Cyprus and all those who would like to divide the island as enemies of ALL Cypriots. Quite simple really.
