Why should a random Giannis allow themselves to feel satiated and satisfied and proud about the fact that our ancient forefathers achieved something magnificent, when his greatest achievement in life was to buy a better car than his neighbour.

Stop the hate.

Let others be ...

let others be, what?? better people because the take bold steps to embrace change for the better?

...i am not so proud of being Greek because "Greeks" choose to sustain an elite which resists the changes they must make in themselves toward a betterment that is Universal; in my opinion, very unGreek.

...i hope Greeks will realise that a Forum for their Expression exists as a Constituency, that this is the step which seperates, in Cyprus, the State from looking at its Citizens as a vast majority being "Greeks" because their adversary as the debate is now framed are "Turks", focusing instead on Cyprus itself, toward its credibility as a Sovereign Representative without distinction or discrimination. if there was a Greek Constituency, recognition for other Constituencies is possible by Territorial Jurisdictions, with an equal opportunity to sustain their distinctions as people. (surely you'll agree that Greek Cypriots will be held in high esteem for this). Cypriots need to fly their Flag because it identifies a betterment to the Principals, as Human Beings, they live by. Nation/State, Person/Individual, Liberty/Freedom: these are central to a Bicommunal way of life; it is not a "Greek"/"not Greek" issue, and as Cypriots this is the commitment we have taken, to define BBF to the benefit of all Mankind.

This a very easy concept it goes like this:

Gc state= constituent state
Tc state=constituent state
Federal government supersedes both states in certain aspects such as: foreign trade, interstate trade, federal taxes...foreign diplomacy/ foreign ministry

The tc state would consist of cantons throughout cyprus.

...The gc state would consist of cantons throughout cyprus, as well.

who cares what gcs think.

That makes sense.

[repulsewarrior]

who cares what gcs think.

who cares what tcs think; it depends on how they are defined.

That's still a partitionist solution and the majority of the GC people won't accept it.

...kurupetos, explain, please. why is this a partitionist solution?

[kurupetos]

...kurupetos, explain, please. why is this a partitionist solution?

Because the proposed system is not unitary. it's just another version of the 1960 Constitution, or the 2004 AP, or the current status-quo.

Federation is only acceptable if it's not discriminatory based on ethnic background.

Anyway, I don't really see why we even need to consider a federal system in a tiny country like Cyprus.

really you have no idea why federal solution is required. have you tried talking to some tcs. try looking at how the tcs are treated in the south and perhaps you can begin to understand. but first take off your hellenic glasses and ear muffs you muffin.

Why are there TCs living in the 'south'? Don't they feel safer living in the 'north'?

As Cypriots they should be able to live in what ever part of the island they like - as should ALL Cypriots,,,,
TAF, settlers and carpetbaggers go home....

...exactly.

...kurupetos does like to be sarcastic, or should i say, caustic, and one hopes for the most part purely in jest.

...on this we can all agree, a State, a Cypriot State, although it seems that what is sought by kurupetos is a Greek state where if you are not Greek, you are a minority. in that "Greeks" (and "Turks") have lost the credibility of being identified as Human first in their approach, a Cypriot State which is a Greek state no longer is possible, and thus, only a Greek Constituency can express the views of Greeks, as Persons, while as Individuals we are not Greeks or Turks (or Maronites, Latins, or Armenians, for that matter), we are, as Cypriots, a People without discrimination or distinction.

@kurupetos, you called me a racist in another topic, again, i ask you, why; and more to the point what makes you not a racist?

I agree, but filthy partitionists like Lordo won't accept a unitary solution.
