OK everything you said is complete BS. Let me guess if I post 100 quotes (some even said by Greek "Cypriots" who admit they wanted to kill of the Turkish Cypriots) your going to somehow try and rebutt them all.

You wont find many Greek Cypriots with fond views of Nikos Sampson...but you WILL find many Turk Cypriots with fond views on people like Ataturk who DID anhilate millions of Armenians and hundreds of thousands of Greeks. If you wnat to stick to Cyprus...then I know you will find many Turk Cyps with fond views of Faizal Kucuk who was trying from the 1950's to divide the island...as well as Denktash, who openly admitted to bombing Turkish Cypriot buildings to blame it on Greek Cypriots and create more trouble.

This is the most misguided statement of the century, "on people like Ataturk who DID anhilate millions of Armenians and hundreds of thousands of Greeks." If you had any knowledge you would realise that Ataturk actually condemned those events. He wasn't involved in that shyte.

Also the Armenian Genocide has nothing to do with Cyprus. Have you heard of a Strawman?

Turks were trying to kill of Greek Cypriots but you wont admit to this....infact, you wont admit to thinks like the Armenian genocide and describe us as Greek CYPRIOTS but you as just TURKS...does this mean you dont have much affection for Cyprus at all??

Can you please provide the non-Greek evidence to your "absurd claims"? The fact of the matter is that there are loads of third party that support the fact that Greeks were slaughtering Turkish Cypriots. But unfortunately for your claims there are no eye witnesses.

You are so sad. Are you trying to claim that EOKA was actually to fight against colonial rule?

Of course it was formed to fight against the colonial rule!

Here is some info from a British website: http://www.britains-smallwars.com/cyprus/war.html

Can you please tell me how many Turkish Cypriots there were in EOKA?

During the intercommunal conflict about the same number of TCs and GCs died. This is a fact. Saying facts makes me ignorant, barbaric, blind and racist?

Sorry my friend, but who you describe there is yourself, not me.

Can you provide third party scholary evidence to your claims of Turkish massacres of Greeks? (I'm not talking about some little blog that my little sister wrote!)

The Armenian Genocide is relevant to the Cyprus issue in that it is strong evidence of Turkish intolerance of and brutality directed against Christian minorities. It demonstrates a pattern of behavior by Turks against Christians.

It's funny to hear Turks accuse Greeks of being racist. That would be like American Anglos accusing African Americans of being racist. The oppressor is now claiming victim status and crying crocodile tears saying that the oppressed are the real racists! That's hilarious!

Can't we try to learn about each other? Rather than throwing hatred and prejudice around? If we just continue to insult each other where will we ever get? I am so tired that there is so little space for what we share rather than what seperates us. Hatred and prejudice in my humble opinion just internalises within us and makes us worse people than we would otherwise be. May be you don't agree with everyting and everybody but there are way to express yourself rather than quick comments. Everyone is human - we all hurt the same, we all want the same so why not try to understand someone who thinks differently from you? Believe me, it does wonders for you!

:twisted:

Does that mean that I can take the example of Crete when all the Turks were unceremoniously expelled from the island by the Greeks to mean that my fear that the Greeks will expel every Turk from Cyprus is justified?

to me it means, look at where i come from, you haven't seen anything... believe me the only way is to be positive together. We can all find examples in history to suit what we want to say but how does that help develop a better future? Can you not say one thing that will make a positive step? You know people say that the Irish see history 400 years ago like it was yesterday and I think to a degree that's true but what has caused the change in the North of Ireland - dialogue - mistrust continues but in my humble - and it is truly humble there is step by step progress but you know one thousand little steps look big when you put them together - can you make a little step?
Take care

Where there’s love, I’ll give love
Where there’s hope I’ll give faith
Where there are tears I’ll give solace
Where there is peace I’ll feel safe

Don’t ask me to love where there’s hate
Don’t ask me to turn the other cheek
It seems that when you offer kindness
There are those that think you weak.

But daddy they said they were our friends
I know son. We have to go now.
Another country. Isn’t it exciting!!!!!!

i dont understand why people make such a fuss over a joke...same thing happened to me when I said something about russia and syria....
jokes are to be laughed over not to be argued over.
