...indeed, don't think i forgot what happened last Easter, or the one before that. this is something different i think, a part of a movement, and if it has a benefit, it is that relatively ordinary people made the effort and succeeded, despite the threats, the recognition, that we may share as Cypriots. indeed, it was used (there is no escape from the interlocutors), who cares, if Goodwill continues because it is people, Cypriots, who dare(, it is against "their" will).
frankly, i don't think it is possible to fly Greek flags from one end of the island to the other without any other flags. i personally do not think it is a good idea, because it is as a Cypriot i feel i can take care of this island as its Steward, better. i wonder if there is any of us on this forum that remembers a Cyprus without a Cypriot Flag; some of us may. i remember the early years, and '74, there was so much hope (in the Modern world), i recognised and respected my neighbours, and they i have learned continue to respect me, we were successful as Cooperators, we were as dwellers most socialised; i have the fortune of having as neighbours, good neighbours, Turks too, one hundred years and more that way, our lives were the trees that we cared for and the land we were close to: my village, "they" call(ed) "mixed" because not just white it made sense the wedding dress in red. (and, to be militant, i say, i respect and recognise that there are Armenians, Maronites, and Latins whose love for Cyprus is still alive, as great as mine, and living through the relics they care for.)
...if the Archbishop is welcome to say, i am an Archbishop, an Archbishop is in your Mosque, i can only believe, a Cypriot way, one God perhaps, and even if the population is overwhelmingly Greek not just Greek, but believers in the power of Love. i can imagine the Cypriot Flag which flies higher everywhere, Cyprus being a colourful place, and Cypriots a colourful People, with many Flags.
...we have only to wait to next Easter to see what happens(, again/next).
