I am watching the new presidents parade and speech right now but I don't understand why I can only see three Cyprus flags waving around but at least one hundred Greece flags waving around. The last time I checked Cyprus was an independent not a Greek island.

I think Piratis explained it good here cyprus39980-10.html#p746277

The vast majority of Cypriots are Greek and the only reason that Cyprus is not part of the Greek state like Crete, Rhodes and most other Greek islands is that the British and the Turks didn't respect the will of the Cypriot people and they forced their own terms instead. This should be made perfectly clear to any foreigner who might assume that the independence of Cyprus was a result of the free will of Cypriots and then get confused when he sees all the Greek flags.

Precisely.
Does he feel pride? Does he concur?
Does he feel embarrassed? Confused?

I wan't to know what mainland Greeks think.
I want to hear it from the horses mouth.

I am of Cypriot decent born and bred in London. I am very proud of my Cypriot heritage and I do wave my Cypriot flag around with pride.
