I was at the seaside today and there were a number of GCs families swimming in the sea, how do they feel now the tables are turned being the minority amongst TCs? as we were pre 1974....although we are much friendlier and GCs are allowed at all our beaches.

Hi vp I would ask you to rephrase the wording as many will find it offensive especially the comment about the tables being turned etc. although I agree with you about feeling a foreigner in the south.

I didnt mean to cause offense but I think I was being truthful, we could not go to every beach and I remember very well being warned not to speak Turkish around GCs, so really thats what the GCs are partially encountering when they visit the TRNC.

You have your answer VP. Not one GC replied.

I will answer to VP, because he is apparently trying to confuse two very different things.

Personally I will never visit the north part of Cyprus while it is still occupied by foreign invaders.

Now to the question: "How does it feel to be a minority". I've been a minority when I lived abroad, and there was no problem for me at all. Being a minority because you and people of your ethnicity moved to an area which was already inhabited by a different ethnic group shouldn't be a problem to you. It was due to your own ancestors choice that Turks/Muslims are a minority in Cyprus. The majority of the Cypriot population can not be blamed because there is a Turkish minority here. We didn't import your ethnic group as slaves (as it was the case with black people in USA/Europe) and we didn't reduce you into a minority by force (as it was the case with Native Americans in the USA, the Aboriginals in Australia or the Greeks in western Asia Minor). There is a Turkish minority here because your ancestors invaded our island and oppressed us, and if there is somebody who should apologize for past events, this is you, not us.

On the other hand, the Greek Cypriots have been the majority of the whole Cyprus, including the north part, for 1000s of years. You made GCs a minority by criminal illegal means, such as mass murder, ethnic cleansing and importation of Anatolian Settlers to whom you gave the properties stolen from us.

There are 100s of thousands of Cypriots who live in other countries as minorities. Being a minority is not the issue. The issue are the crimes you committed and continue to commit against the vast majority of the Cypriot population.

Are you forgetting that from the 50s you demanded discrimination and segregation of the two communities at the highest degree possible (with a total separation via ethnic cleansing and partition being your ultimate goal)?

You refused to be equal Cypriot citizens and you insisted on racist discriminations and segregation, you even started a conflict with the aim to maintain and increase this separation, and then you come here to blame us for the results of your own racist aims?

I am a minority in Quebec. Except for the fanatics who find contempt in anything not French, as Quebecers the rest of us are equal. Interestingly, it is this "ethnic" class, not English or French, which hold the balance of power (with one man one vote), money being the only other influence according to the leaders who support seperation from Canada.

People have a right to their opinions vp, but it seems that equal is not good enough for you; that is the battle in Quebec's democracy too.

...i guess because i am not "Turkish" (or Turkish enough), whatever my opinion, it will be labled a "Greek" point of view.

...no, i didn't want to add value to this topic with a reply because it is racist. glad at least, that DTA asks you to tone it down a little.

woof, woof, eh vp; what a good dog, no barking no dinner for you...

i am of course a Human first, as such neither "Greek" or "Turkish"; but what do i know, coming from a "mixed" village.

cheers.
