If you want to be Greek you can go to Greece and apply for a Greek passport.

You heard the man Repulse… if you want a “Greek constituency” you can go climb on the roof of the Acropolis and dance the Zorba till the break of dawn!

Oh, and don’t forget your skirt and pom-poms.

vp, if you feel so strongly, say it to humour GR, that way he can say we are both on drugs, say, "I love Cyprus".

...and to the "Greeks" so that they can bust a gut in their frustration, do me the kindness, say, "i love Cyprus first".

You'll never get this lot to kiss and make up by inviting them to swear their love, for their beloved island.

Won't happen in a month of Sundays!

dude, twisting and turning like that makes me very sad for you. you are someone i thought who is for Cyprus, i seems i may be wrong, as i said before, your level of debate is no better than that of the "Turkish" representatives we have around here, on this forum. sounds more like a carpetbagger, you "own" something; big deal.

maybe you live in the world of pom poms, i live in a world more practical, of vrakes, one sheet, and more comfortable.

@ms.H, you never know, i have Faith in Human kind, otherwise my battle is the Ignorance that brings this harm. frankly, it helps me, call it my therapy, to be active. i know the pain affects us all. i know Charity (and Grace) serve us and all the planet, if we give of their infinite force lovingly. take heart in knowing that for the most part Cypriots fly Cypriot flags higher, and that Hatred has its place in Cyprus like the rest of the World, against real enemies, Lest We Forget, like Hunger, and Disease; not against each other.

Why cant you grasp the fact that we are not just a minority (we are not talking simple numers here) we are an equal partner as recognized by the world (1960 agreements) thats why we have 50% of the say in an eventual solution and why a BBF with political equality of the 2 sides has been negotiated by the 2 equal sides. Why on earth would I want to live as a minority in a Gc state I can do that tomorrow by moving south, why not allow people the freedom to choose whether they wish to live in the south or north under GC or TC administration why do you want to force one side to submit to the other when there is absolutely no trust or desire to do so? One country one identity with two states where one state cannot force, impose or dominate the other. In time and with a building of trust and properity the people from both sides can decide whether they wish to for a unitary state.

Recognised by the world in an agreement that the Greek Cypriots were forced to sign or face partition. Why should 80% of the population live in fear of the neo-Ottomans?

"why do you want to force one side to submit to the other" You are having a laugh aren't you? That's exactly what Turkey has done - forced one side to submit to the other and grabbed, and intends to keep, more than 18% of Cyprus. But that's our punishment for being "naughty boys" isn't it VP.

Forced or not is was signed and it is internationally recognized you cannot unilaterally erase it.

Turkey was invited by yourselves to step in and put an end to your enosis wet dreams, you couldnt share, you wanted everything your own way by forcing the TCs to submit to your manipulation discriminationa and persecution, it backfired and you lost 37% of the island. Even today your intentions are not to share equally but to force a partner into minority status and take control of the whole island. Aint gonna happen.

So, it's OK to force GCs to sign an unfair agreement, it's OK to force them out of 37% of Cyprus but it's not OK to force the Turkish Cypriots to accept what they really are - a minority.

What curious logic.

your logic is curious jerry, you say "force them out of 37%". so did "them" have 100% before and do "them" deserve 100% now. curious indeed.

Can any one provide substantiated figures showing the number of T/Cs killed during the so called " genocide" perpetrated by G/C extremists.

So much unsubstantiated rubbish is posted by some, lets have some actual figures, more so lets have the number of T/Cs killed some 6 or so years before the Turkish invasion.

Around 300 p/side, and I don't care enough to provide you with evidence and neither should you.

To us you sound like you live in Canadian soup kitchens and rehab centers... of course you can get a second opinion if you like.

[repulsewarrior]

i'll ask you like i've had to ask vp, who is the "us" you are referring to? it cannot be Cypriots, most of whom now live abroad, many of whom left with nothing, and not of their own choice.

You make the assumption that I claim that "them" owned or "deserve" all of the 37% from where they were expelled, I did not. Your ability to comprehend the plain fact that all but a handful Greek Cypriots were forced out of 37% of Cyprus is as curious as your (or at least VP's) ability to understand that 18% of Cypriots are a minority.
