we have been at this for a long time. how can you imagine that i'm not appreciative, (or did i get your reply wrong?)? i know my language can get twisted, trying to be impartial and as precise as possible, but surely you understand what i meant; you, your reporting is better than the results i got from google (no crowd shots, and the same single paragraph over and over again). perhaps i should be grateful, because what it proves is that Erdogan is no Biden, and that this visit did not even draw crowds to see him, in Cyprus, especially if there are eight hundred thousand people, as we are led to believe by some, who would be defined as "Turkish", living in Cyprus' northern regions now occupied by Turkey's Army.

cheers!

It was partly a wind-up file.

Good point you make... the lack of crowds. Good one.

it will be an interesting season, bill. by shear inertia Flags will play a role. Erdogan likes to play that the Cypriot Flag does not exist, or that it is a "Greek" Flag...

...there is no law against flying this flag, anywhere in Cyprus.

"Erdogan's aim is not solution but integration"

The views of the General Secretary of United Cyprus Party, Mr Abdullah Korkmazhan, reported in KP Daily News, on Erdogan's move towards annexation.

Well, with respect, there's nothing new there, Mr Korkmazhan.

"... In a written statement General Secretary of United Cyprus Party (BKP) Abdullah Korkmazhan noted that within the framework of the statements made by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his visit to Cyprus, his aim is not a solution, but to integrate north Cyprus with Turkey and he has made this obvious, stated Korkmazhan.

“Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party like the other governments before them, are in search of a permanent division and an integration of Cyprus,” he said. Korkmazhan reflected light on Erdogan’s words; “Our hands are always on north Cyprus. If a two state system is not agreed on we cannot approach this with warmth,” noting that the people expecting a solution of the Cyprus problem with Erdogan’s presidency should read his words carefully. He stated that the negotiations have plummeted and that the two state system is being put forward because of Erdogan’s, the Justice and Development Party’s and President Dervis Eroglu’s separatist and uncompromising politics. ..."

This was a sentence in Erdogan's address on arrival at Occupied Tymbou Airport...

Suspect we would all have found it very offensive indeed.

Isn't that right Droopo...???

"... This rejoining today is as meaningful as a rejoining of a mother and a child. ... "

Erdogan is equating Greec'es responsibility vis a vis Cyprus, with Turkey's. Turkey illegaly partitioned the island and now Erdogan is trying to get Greece on board to share responsibility in doing that, ain't gonna work lol.

Get real . GC s may have lost their true identity due to thousand years of being conquered by different empires however our identity has not as we have been in cyprus for just over 500 years after the ottoman Turks conquered and we were not ruled by no one untill briefly by the Brits followed by the cyprus government . I can understand that your roots to the mainland has weakend looking at your history but our history is far more linked to the mainland . You can't compare GCS to TCs . They are very different . Yes I agree GCS are by far very different to mainland greeks but TCs are less different to mainland Turks . If you go back 10 generations every TC background would be from ottoman turk . Our historical background is not the same so don't make stupid remarks . Yes we are their children .we originate from their history .we don't deny our hereditory links you bafoon .
