Can we look forward to their reciprocation when we need it? Doubt it!



Greeks were there for us Greek cyps when we became refugees in 74, blankets water and other things came from Greece, when there was no airport ships left from limassol with Greek cyps looking for work or an airport to use to go to the usa, uk or australia, Greece accomodated. When there were no books for all us Greek cyp students, Books flooded in from Greece. All Greek cyp students studying in Greece never had to pay bus fare and tuition was minimal. All the political support at the UN and the European Common Market and then the European Union, have been priceless for Cyprus. CBBB i dont know how old you are but if you arent old enough then ask your parents or someone who lived through those years after the war and you will find out many things

Greece's actions in 1974 only served to gift 37% of Cyprus to the Turks.

Most of the supplies provided after the invasion had notices on saying things like "Gift from the Federal Republic of Germany".

Yes I remember using those ships, they weren't free and a lot of them were Cypriot ships.

Greece accomodated. When there were no books for all us Greek cyp students, Books flooded in from Greece. All Greek cyp students studying in Greece never had to pay bus fare and tuition was minimal.

Greece has always provided free school books, until recently! Greek Universities were also always free for Cypriots.

All the political support at the UN and the European Common Market and then the European Union, have been priceless for Cyprus.

Political support is from the Government, not the people, who rather look down on Cypriots.

Why is that?

Should't Turkey, being such a good mother, teach her children how to feed themselves? You know. How to use of a knife and a fork or at least a spoon and all that?
