I had dreams of a unified Cyprus. I would argue endlessly with my father, friends and those remotely interested in the Cyprus issue that there was hope for Cyprus. I had visions of attending mixed marriage weddings, I had dreams of a Cyprus National Football team made up Greeks and TC's. I had hopes for mixed schools and all the kids speaking fluent Turkish and Greek. All my adult life I have been wishing an end to the Cyprus problem, an end that I could witness before I died.
Thanks to the likes of Sotos, B25, GIG to name but a few that dream is now shattered. I don't hate anything or anybody, I wasn't brought up to hate. But I am getting very strange feelings about my fellow Greeks since participating on this forum. I wonder if my feelings are what you may consider as HATE? I certainly don't want to have anything to do with Greeks right now, I couldn't care less if they all rotted in hell. Why am I feeling like this? I have a lot of love and respect for my fellow man so why am I feeling like this about my compatriots?
I once called my good friend Miltiades and spoke to him about the state of North Cyprus, I told Milti that I was so disillusioned with all that was happening that I would be happy for a settlement with a protected minority rights. Now, though, that settlement I would have accepted as a minority is a thing of past.
I was against Greek property and land being looted, I wanted all the Greeks (those that wanted to) to move back to their villages and homes. I wanted their misery to end. Now, all that has gone, I now think rot in hell the lot of you.
I guess this is how people get radicalised, I must be the perfect example of how one can be radicalised so easily. And its all thanks to those Greeks that think they love Cyprus and are arguing for the best of the island. Well guys, your arguments of Ottoman remnants, you shouldn't be here, you don't belong here, you are the cancer of Cyprus has worked. It hasn't worked in the sense that I am agreeing with you and packing my bags and leaving on the next plane to Turkey. No, Not that I kind of "worked" because I disagree with you and consider myself a Cypriot. It has worked in the sense that if you all were on fire I wouldn't piss on you. From this day on this TC is an anti Greek TC.
