Alexios,I like your bear story very much.And you are right,if only we could stop calling each other names and regurgitate old arguments and accusations we might see that despite everything that happened in the past 42 years,the situation is not unsolvable.
What does it matter now who started what,and who killed how many people?What is done is done,and we need to put it behind us and move forward.To do that we only have to admit that both sides were wrong about some things,and acknowledge the pain and anger and bitterness these unfortunate events have caused.Why is it so difficult to say "I am sorry"?What is so difficult to understand that unless people's sense of justice and fairness are satisfied there cannot be a lasting solution.We cannot build a nation on stolen property.We cannot compound our problems by bringing in some poor souls from Turkey who stick out like a sour thumb,who can never be accepted by the majority of Cypriots.We seem to have a death wish.We want to be anything else than what we are,Cypriots with a common gene pool who is closer to each other than to the mainlanders.We are afraid that our Turkishness or Greekness will disappear if we agree to a solution that will please the other side.Let me ask you all one thing,despite their individual merit or otherwise,what has been of Turkish or Greek origin done for us Cypriots?It has caused us untold heartaches,unbearable pain and suffering,that's all.There can only be one just solution to the Cyprus problem imo.To return to the original RoC of 1960,with all its imperfections,it is all that we have.I know this will require extreme generocity on the Gc part,and extreme trustfulness on the part of the TCs,but what other choice do we have?
