...i get it vp, in your Cyprus, loyalty toward "Turkishness" is rewarded with the plunder of this goal, loyalty toward the Universal Principals that all Human Beings espouse, for the rest of us, can be found on the other side of the Green Line.

No, the other minorities were NEVER asked if they want to form their own separate identity category. When the ID system was drafted the only two choices were GC-Christian, or TC-Moslem. It is a gross lie to claim that the Maronites, Armenians and Latins had a choice and chose GC identity, that is the closest they could choose to their religion and that is how it went.

Twisting the issue in terms "they chose to align themselves with the Greeks" is trypical Turkish bullshit and we have heard it before, as an excuse of the Armenian massacre in 1915- in that case the Armenians were supposed to have colluded with the Russians, (who by a strange reversal of sentiment later armed Mustafa Kemal) and that justified the massacre in Turkish thinking.

In February 1964 the TMT thugs forced the Armenian community of Nicosia to vacate their homes. Exactly what threat the Armenians posed, and how this threat was manifested we never learned. Again, a typical case of self determined Turkish grandiosity that put everyone at a lower rank. It was never a GC threat that caused it, it was always a Turkish superiority complex and outright racist.

In your case Lordo and VP I would have asked, why none of the other communities in Cyprus chose to align themselves with the TC community in the ID choices imposed in 1960? The Maronites are of Arab origin, and have been in Cyprus centuries before the TCs, the Latins are remnants of the Catholic communities and also preceded the TCs, maybe their collective memory of cohabitation with the TCs was not so happy. Even the Moslem Roma fled the north at the first chance. Naturally we cannot expect you to sit and ponder the reasons. You are too busy being a special case.

The answer is that tcs are not control freaks. only control freaks can ask the question why are you not choosing me as a friend. they even go as far as killing a person so as to remain friends and never loose their friendship. ask kikapooo he is very clever man and he knows all about it.
