My dear boomerang, there is no reason for anyone to attack anyone. I am certain we all love Greece very much despite all the problems.
I have been told that some members here just hate Greece. I find it hard to believe that Cypriots hate Greece. Even if some of you do, I am sure that these sentiments are not reciprocated. I understand that Cyprus feels let down by Greece. The Greek people feel let down as well. Unfortunately, we have had Government after Government that lacs political will and practically destroyed our economy.
Also, let us remember that ever since Cyprus was invaded in 1974, Greece has been spending about 4-5% of GDP on Defence buying the latest and most sophisticated weapons systems. This translates to who knows how many Billions over the years. If Greece only spent half if our beloved neighbour (
) was not as threatening to our sovereignty, then I bet there would hardly be a Greek Sovereign Debt or it would only be a fraction of what it is today.
So it is not all about corruption and nepotism. And our Governments, despite all this military spending laced the political will to extract valuable resources in within our waters.
so you have been told already...wow the dark forces on the move...
personally i don't hate anyone...what i will not forgive is greece's hand in this mess...starting from early on...starting with the brainwashing we are greeks...i am cypriot, i have no affiliation with greece...
one might say but it was the junta...yes and a fair position...but not really a fair position if greece is not releasing the cyprus files after so many years...why not...why would greece no release the cyprus file...what are they hiding who are they protecting...you see we need answers and they are not forthcoming....but you see blind sheep and mad cows have no problem with that but have problems with the turks...every coin has 2 sides...
Hey, I don't think anyone is brainwashing you at all. Why would Greece do this? I support Cypriot independence and its territorial integrity. I consider Cyprus a very close sister nation.
I am glad you feel strongly about your Cypriotness. I don't have any issue at all.
But I as a Greek, love Cyprus and the people very much.
I don't know why you bring up the Junta. I was not even born then, and I would never support the Junta anyway. The Junta was very bad for Greece, and I am sure you are going to tell me that it was bad for Cyprus as well. I don't deny it and as a Greek I am really sorry for what they did even though I was not even born.
They did not act on behalf of all the Greek people either and I am not sure what you mean about the "Cyprus File". So please tone it down a little please, because Greece is not an enemy to Cyprus. Maybe Greece did wrong in 1974, but is it really 100% Greece's fault or mine?
I am not going to sit here and say that it was the Junta either. I now that would be insulting to you and I don't want to be rubbing any salt in wounds.
The sooner Cyprus is free the better. All Greeks feel the same way except for those that don't have Greece's or Cyprus' interests at heart.
