Greeks and turks

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Greeks and turks

Postby theodosia » Wed Sep 26, 2012 2:20 pm

I know i will be slated for this post, and it will get locked. But for what it is worth, i was thinking if we all could think of something nice to say each other.
A lot of angry words in various topics, about the Greeks and the Turks. I have to admit that i have sometimes agreed with some of the stuff that has been posted on this site ( they are just my thoughts and feelings) But i really can't say that every Turk is rotten to the core, just as i would defend anyone saying it about the Greeks.
i do understand most of it is political, but i have noticed it gets very personal to the point of bulling ( from both sides)
so was just thinking if we could say something positive about each other?

You will not be slated by me. An excellent sentiment. Most of the individual Turks and Greeks I have met have bee charming - very hospitable.

behave b25, and you too schnauzer . I was just saying that not everybody should be tainted with the same brush because of where they come from. And i'm all for the Turks to leave but at the same time would like to see the gc and tc live in peace if that will ever be possible.
I know we don't live in a perfect world where everything is fair and just. And to do things nicely as u put it is not always the answer. But i thought it was clear in my post that i too have not always had kind words (rightly or wrongly) because of my anger and my passion for the Greeks to live freely on their own island. but at the same time maybe see the person that they are, and not just to be judged on merly where they come from. we can't help where we are born, but we can be aware of our faults as humane beings and treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated would respect and kindest.
Theunderdog has a more balanced view as i said i was not been political.
though i do try hard to respect all views even if i don't always agree.

Apart from the occasional minor ((neighbourly) disputes, the T/C and G/C inhabitants of 'Cyprus'............. 'Cypriots', got on fine as a mixed community for generations, not until the 'Political Machinations' (and I use the term advisedly) of the Western powers, did serious disputes and disharmony take place among peaceful folk.

Nothing new about such 'Tactics', the pages of history are littered with examples of the 'Divide and Rule' policies which naturally cause disruption among folk who were hitherto existing in complete harmony with each other.

All the 'Perpetrators' of strife have to do, is sit back and watch the outcome of their 'Connivance's' until such times as those affected start 'Hating' each other, then, the 'Perpetrators' arrive as 'Peacekeepers' and 'Saviours' and the greater part of the job is done.

In the 'Aftermath' of any division, it is only natural that both sides of the 'Divide' should wish to associate with whichever 'Nation' has managed to present itself as the one which offers 'Salvation' to those who consider themselves in danger, unfortunately, in Cyprus, so effective have the results of the 'Plots' of those 'Nations' which created disharmony (US/UK and Israel) been, the prospect of 'Peace' is beyond the grasp of the genuine 'Cypriot' since such a state of affairs would not suit the 'Agenda's' of those that are in control, it is far more acceptable to them that people should be at each others 'Throats', for in such 'Volatile' situations, the presence of the (alleged) 'Protectors' is politically justified.

As to the displacement of the original 'Cypriot' (be they T/C or G/C) there can be no doubt that the manner in which it was accomplished was wrong BUT, to the 'Politicians', it was a 'Plan' which was well worked out (well before 1974) and executed in precisely the fashion they envisaged, the 'Green Line' surely bears testimony to that.

For as much as I DO think that the 'Turkish Troops' and the 'Turkish Settlers' should leave 'Cyprus', I fear it may never happen BUT, don't worry folks, I AM sure that 'Israel' will be safe and currently on the world stage, that seems to be the only matter of any great importance. (imho). :wink:

well said and beautifully put, you are an intelligent and thoughtful person schnauzer who has put it in perspective.
\"The powers that be" has always been able to divide and conquer for their own needs and purposes.
to control us is to make us fear and mistrust each other, this gives the government's so much power over all of us.
we the people fight the wars they created and pay the high price for it while they sit at home in a big house hiding their taxes in off shore accounts making money out of the misery of others, the bankers, the government, and the Illuminati will always win and we the lowly tax payer are only a money making cash cow to keep them in the comfort they are used to.
