Do you realize that Cyprus changed forever in 1974? the Cyprus you remember is long gone...you can thank your eoka brothers and the enosis dream for this change. The Cyprus you remember and the one I live in in 2013 are two totally different things, you cannot bring the past back its not possible.

Equality guaranteed through due process..do you agree?
