I think the day that the TCs and the GCs finally realise that their island is no longer their own 'Cyprus' and they actually stand together and unite to get rid of Turkey from the north the better. Also to stop the influx of 'Carpetbaggers' and other such sorts (apart from me ) getting in and retiring there. I think for these people there needs to be a stricter code, and at the moment in the north for example its all too easy to set up 'shop' as it were, the south is not much better either.
Cyprus hasn't always had a rift between its people(sure there has been many ups and downs). The normal people 'have' lived quite happily with each other for much longer than the 40 years they fight over. Lets be clear, it wasn't the majority that began this. It was a small few that got the ball rolling and the momentum turned it into a full blown war and divide. Small people, or should that be small minded always sow the seeds to a countries undoing. They 'can' live together once more. I'm certain of that, if they can get rid of the small minded arseholes that undermine the effort to do so.
Its about time it stopped.
I'm very much appauled by the fact that Mosques are turning into a plague in the north, whilst churches that have stood for thousands of years have been destroyed, converted, looted and totally disrespected are left to rot as sheep pens or military stores. On the south side mosques are treat with respect and restored to their rightful followers. I am a bit dubious of the future 'religion' of the island. I'm not particularly religious, but its quite soul destroying to see the heritage, culture and history of the island in the north being forcibly changed by disrespectful acts of heresy.
I was recently reading an excerpt from the Cyprus Gazette archives, entitled the 'The Irrigation and Water Law 1887'. ( I was on the hunt for family information) Both GC and TC were minorities in documented villages(around Morphou) where the other was a majority. Who cares who is a minority as long as the majority is Cypriot? IF the correct inhabitants of Cyprus do not get their act together they will be ALL a minority in their land.
I don't want to see this.
So, to wrap up and complete my ramblings...... Turks bugger off, and take all the other pillocks with you. There will then be more room for those that belong there to return home
