RW this is beyond racism. Im held accountable for events of 1571. This is beyond a joke.
...up until a month ago, the Flag of Cyprus could not be flown in the north, as it is called by some. The word pathetic comes to mind. You may be taking things a bit too personally, and in any case, anyone who takes themselves to be "Greek" or "Turkish", is not doing the rest of us, (and by the, 'rest of us' in this case i mean Cypriots, including the rest of the Human Race), any favours. If you think that by supporting "Turks" you are acting against "Greeks", you are mistaken. They feed on each other, and need each other. They are no different. And if you are a Cypriot, this is the lesson to learn, that "this" must stop.
...i won't take sides for the most part, but i respect sotos, he defends himself well, and i respect you for the debate you provoke, which in effect provide for me the same food for thought where i will make my own decisions. One thing is sure, i am neither a "Greek" or a "Turk", and i resent the simplistic notion that "the debate" as it is framed "makes" me one, or the other (or that "one" side is deserving over the "other").
I am merely pointing out how simplistic it is, to think "you" are right, because "they" are wrong. We are Cypriots, Cypriots died for being Cypriot for the most part, in '63 as well as in '74, and those who are murderers were killing Cypriots, doing so because being "Greek", and being "Turkish", they were not Cypriots. MR-from-NG, you are disappointed because evil and racist thinking can and likely does exist, in Cyprus. I am disappointed because you are so quick to abandon Cyprus, for "Turkishness", because some "Greeks" called you a "Turk".
