c'mon guys.
This foreign stuff isn't helping the Cypriot cause.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat its pains/mistakes!

I'm almost ashamed to admit that a fellow Cypriot - as you claim to be, Cap - (though, not born nor bred in Cyprus) can continually achieve such levels of blinkered tunnel-vision on Cyprus' destiny (something that even Lordo is well aware of) ...

Cyprus was under Lusignan rule in 1453.

Hade reh mana mou - this is what happens when a perfectly good Cypriot family emigrate and have their babies in the African Savanna!

If I give you this little snippet, can you figure out the significance all by yourself?

Helena Palaiologina (Greek: Ἑλένη Παλαιολογίνα) (3 February 1428 – 11 April 1458)[1] was a Byzantine princess of the Palaiologos family, who became the Queen consort of Cyprus and Armenia, titular Queen consort of Jerusalem, and Princess of Antioch through her marriage to King John II of Cyprus and Armenia. She was the mother of Queen Charlotte of Cyprus.
She poisoned her son-in-law John of Portugal, and ordered the nose of her husband's mistress to be cut off.[1] She did, however, welcome and assist many Byzantine refugees in Cyprus after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.

I will help him.

Because of the Fall of Constantinople, we had many Slavo Pseudo Hellenes illegal immigrants in Cyprus, and one of them was such an evil bitch. She ordered the nose of her husbands mistress be cut off. I mean, really?

Cyprus should have turned back the boats!

The House of Lusignan (/ˈluːzɨnjɒn/ loo-zən-yon) is a royal house of French origin, which ruled much of Europe and the Levant, including the kingdoms of Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Armenia, and had great influence in England and France.

Sorry....

So you should be!

You needed a connection and I showed you the connection - yet you ignore it.

If it's our invaders only that you wish to respect, the Lusignans bemoaned the Fall of Constantinople too - because, after the Fall, guess where the Turks turned their attention next?

Come on, Cap. Cause and effect and the chains ...

[Cap]

So now we're missing a random connection GiGs?
C'mon...

Here's another question.
Where was Cyprus in 1821?

Why random? Cyprus' Queen at the time was connected to Constantinople, and you cannot understand why the Fall has a connection to Cyprus? You're just proving my point about your own disconnectedness.

And as for 1821 - can you be more specific? Location? Historically? Philosophically? Politically?

[Lordo]

he means geographically of course what else possibly does he mean.

No this so cled bitch of a "Queen" was a foreigner who had nothing to do with Cyprus. She was illegally installed by the Roman Byzantines.

Cyprus us always had a much stronger bond with the French, Italians and Brits etc than it has with Greece.

Cyprus has never throughout its history been a part of Greece and we are so different.

Have you ever noticed that Cyprus has always been more functional than the Greek bordello? The Cypriot way of doing business does not appear to be Greek in the slightest.We have always outdone Greece until they took us down with them due to stupidity.
