zan, the GC's who own lang in the KKTC can not accept payment for their property because there is a "law" in the South that makes it illegal for GC's to sell land to TC's. Would you sell your land if there was even the slightest chance that you'd end up in prison?

But anyway, I just can't grasp how such a "law" that prohibits one Cypriot citizen from selling his/her land to another Cypriot citizen can be allowed in the EU?

But funny enough, a GC is allowed, even encouraged, to buy TC owned land, some EU "country", ey?

Your basic problem my riend is that you consider that suddently after 20July74 you became clever.BUT YOU ARE JUST THE SAME AS BEFORE.Exempt the military power of course!!!

I had an intertsing chat to a real Greek lady who told me that as far as she was concerned the cypriots were not Greek but: Cypriot: whether or not the Cypriots in fact came from Greece is very much a moot point as I understand that at least some of the evidence suggests the Cypriots (both Kiris and Kibtrilisi) are rather more closely genetically related to each other than they are to either of the peoples of the alleged motherlands, and thay may well be principally descended from the original neolithic settlers

The descent of Cypriots from Greek Immigrants may well be a romanticiceed myth, when the relaity is that Greek language etc were imposed by a process of eltist cultural dominance by a powereful minority conquerer rather than large scale immigration : that also explains why Turkish Speaking Cypriots are rather closely genetically related to Greek Speeaking Cypriots as they adopted the culture of the conquereor to fit in better, just as Greek Speaking Cypriots jad Greek language and culture imposed upon them by ancient invasion and conquest in particular with the absorbtion into the Macedonian Greek Speaking Ptolomaic Empire in 300BC.

That too, today could well count as an illegal occuptaion of Cyprus.

You are full of BS dog. Only Greeks have Greek as their mother tongue. Have you ever thought of that?

[supporttheunderdog]

no Cypriots also have Greek as one of their mother tongues, the other being Turkish, both intoduced as a result of invasion and conquest and Where having gained prominence Greek was not displaced due to the Island Status giving rise to a relatively stable population, but with some evidince of developing linguitic divergance between Greek as now spoken in the Republic of Greece and the version spoken in Cyprus, due to differing cultural influences over the millenia. .

Your theory does not address the Genetics.

I also recall reading somewhere (and I wish I could find the link) that a large number of the 1571 settlers were Greek Speaking Anatolians (probbaly linked to the neolithic anatolian inhabitants) who the Turks wanted to isolate so they sent them to Cyprus.

[kurupetos]

Genetics are of trivial importance.
Greeks have always been a mixture of many nations, since the ancient times. I remind you the Dorians, Achaeans, Aeolians, Arcado-Cypriots, Cretans, Pelasgians etc.

Heres a quote for you, see if you can understand it

"Buxton who had earlier studied Greek skeletal material and measured modern Greeks, especially in Cyprus, finds that the modern Greeks “possess physical characteristics not differing essentially from those of the former [ancient Greeks].”

Why on earth would any Cypriot want to be grouped with the Greeks who have proven to be just a bunch of 3rd world nincompoops and offer nothing to Cyprus other than sheer embarrassment?
