Greece has 5 stone throwing peasants on the mainland and a couple more scattered on the islands, and they call that the “Hellenic World”?

Oh, I forgot about the “Kostoui” who emigrated to the Americas in 1953 and forms the “dispora”! So that makes a total of 8!


Re ma sovaro milade?

It's a BIG world baby!

You're Greek too. Stop pissing on your ancestors' graves.

[Get Real!]

And btw, the moment Greek banks accepted (or were forced to accept) a 50% loss, that automatically constitutes a BANKRUPTCY!

And only two entities on the planet declared bankruptcy in contemporary history…Greece and the “TRNC”!

My 100% Cypriot grandmother had more balls than your entire "Hellenic World"!

And you claim to be the one who isn't force-fed assumptions and baseless narratives!

That much-touted '50% loss' is nothing more than the reduction of an otherwise extortionist interest rate unfairly charged by the mass profiteering of all the opportunist lenders over many years!

Or, do you now support unregulated capitalism?

Greeks can (and probably will) interpret it in any way they like, but to the rest of the world it IS an official bankruptcy!

If the Greeks who came to Cyprus at about 1500BC...

Before you call other people’s claims “baseless” how about you provide creditable evidence that this happened?

After all, it is the very thread from which the rest of your baloney theories dangle! Is it not?

You simply CANNOT prove this because it is someone’s ASSUMPTION from the past which everyone else just went along with, and nobody seems bothered to deal with today!

Get Real, there have been numerous archeological finds of whole Greek cities (Salamis, Paphos, Idalium etc etc - no small round houses of Chirokitians here). Most texts using the Cypriot syllabary from that era are in the Arcadocypriot dialect of Greek (later to be replaced with the Greek Alphabet), while art is also distinctively Hellenic in most parts of the island. There is no question that Greeks started to come to Cyprus at about 1500BC and that a few centuries later most of Cyprus had already been Hellenized. (Amathous and settlements of the Phoenicians on the east being the only possible exceptions)

Archeologists from all over the world come to Cyprus and your theory that the Greek history of Cyprus is just an “assumption that nobody bothered to deal with” is frankly ridiculous.

There’s no such thing as “Greek cities” unless they found a price tag hanging off the walls that read…

“$5.99 Greek Sainsburys – Do not lean after 2000AD”

Now please get real!

Yup, labels! One of those 'wrongs' which, were you not a hypocrite, you would have screamed about.

And Oracle,

It’s by no accident that Greece is bankrupt because just as the “TRNC” is the illegal Turkish-occupied territory of Cyprus, so too is “Greece” the Balkan Gypsy occupied territory of Europe!

Eshi bollin vasi oi gouvenda...


And what are these Balkan Gypsies if not Ottomans? Ha?

Put 1+1 together Oracle…

If it is about the preservation of the unique and wonderful Cypriot culture, I think the latter is the best choice. Unless of course, your a fascist.

It's exactly the unique and wonderful Cypriot culture (written about over some thousands of years in Greek and later languages) which we are fighting to preserve from revisionist erosion by invaders.

I myself am an English-Cypriot so I know where I stand. Who would deny my what I believe to be my heritage.

This is a joke, right?
