Is Time Running Out For the Turkish Cypriots?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Is Time Running Out For the Turkish Cypriots?

Postby Hermes » Sun Jan 29, 2012 12:04 am

Reading through excerpts from the TC press yesterday I noticed a couple of things:

Mehmet Ali Talat evaluated the statements made after the Greentree summit. Speaking to Ada television, Talat said that the picture created after the summit was not positive. He argued: "I have many times told Eroglu that we have to solve this problem, the non-solution is not an alternative for us"


Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris reports that Sener Elcil, general secretary of the Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Trade Union (KTOS) has said that Cypriots have no more time to waste and noted that those who have created the [Cyprus] problem cannot solve it....While we are struggling with the colonization strategy imposed by the AKP government in the north of our island, we must see that the centre which imposes the non-solution is the same". Accusing Turkey of implementing the policy of "assimilation and colonization" in Cyprus, he said that the target of Ankara is to keep the Turkish Cypriots under blockade and take the entire Cyprus as its hostage. "These policies of Turkey, which continue with the support of Britain, are unacceptable", said Elcil.

Given that the failure of the current talks has left the TCs cut adrift, isolated, facing assimilation and further Turkish colonization, is there nothing they can do to help themselves? Is it all over for the TCs? Is there anything to be done?

NO, as I stated before we both go our own way and pursue our own agendas.

I am asking what the TCs can do to escape their predicament of assimilation, colonization and isolation? Have you any suggestions, VP?

How can you even open such a silly thread when you already claim that Cypriots have been assimilated by Greeks 3000 years ago? :?

So basically Turkey is doing the same thing to the TCs as the Greeks did back then.

Only the non assimulated Cypriot Natives (like me) can open such threads. :roll:

this is what you call "Greek Intelligence" I suppose! :?

Why should we want to do anything, we accepted our fate in 1974, why are you so concerned we are not. TCs marry Turks and make more TCs called new generation TCs.

GCs marry Russians and produce?????

I am not too bothered at all. I am referring to the comments of Talat and Ecil above. They clearly have not accepted their "fate" as you put it. What options do they have? Are demonstrations and general strikes the way to go? Will it be enough?

Paphitis. You haven't read the new rules on making pointless posts. :roll:

Now leave me in peace to annoy and tease VP. That is the only point of this thread. :lol:

Paphitis has a point here Hermes so why don’t you answer him?

He is saying that if GCs have been Greekified (according to you) then why should TCs worry about being Turkified?

You and a few other Greek nationalists here go out of your way to exalt this foreign colonization yet you don’t recommend it for TCs!

Could it be that you assume that Greekification is very good whereas Turkification is very bad? If so why is that… explain yourself!

The only people who are alowed to annoy VP are the indigenous Cypriot Natives like myself.

You can not preach to a Turk about the assimilation of the TCs and hold you head up high at the same time with integrity and dignity when you also claim that the indigenous of Cyprus were also assimilated by "Greeks" 3000 years ago.

Your actions are shameful to say the least! :evil:
