Getting back to CYPRUS......... several papers reported that President Anastasiades expressed hope that the island’s name, should there be a solution, would be United States of Cyprus.

We would be US ciitzens

[Sotos]

In case of a solution the name should be "Cyprus" without anything else added to it.

I don't like it, 'United States of Cyprus'

It doesn't sound right..

[Lordo]

Has been reported by the Government spokesman that the President said it in jest!

I guess he realised people were not going to stand for it!

next idiot please.

[cypriotnado]

Your absolutely right.......... “And – while teasing each other – I said to him: Why not be ‘United States of Cyprus’…We have not discussed a name yet, and I was only said that (name) symbolically because that would make us the world’s second superpower!.”
The President was clearly referring to United States in a joking way.......

Just shows how everything gets distorted! For me I agree with Sotos just Cyprus is fine.

[kurupetos]

No, I want United Kingdom of Cyprus. I will be the king.

[Zenon33]

We are the Republic of Cyprus.

...the good news is that both leaders agree. There will be a united Cyprus.

Let us hope that as Citizens, the people will be identified by merit, if there is to be distinctions and discrimination. Let us hope as Cypriots we will get to vote as Individuals, as Cypriots. And let us hope, being Bicommunal, that as Persons, at another level of Government, Cypriots may choose to identify with one of a set of Cypriot Constituencies, where they can live and sustain a life of happiness, as an elector an equal, whether perceived "a minority", or "a majority", there.

...Frankly, I like RoC, Republic of Cyprus.

It is not the name that is to be changed, but the intention. If anything, for the sake of those missing, murdered, and made to disappear, the name should stay the same. Whether Turkish, or Greek, (or Armenian, Latin, and Maronite for that matter), let us remember that they were robbed of their Cypriot identity, for their Cypriot identity, by "Greeks", and "Turks"; changing the name suits "them".

...for the record, since we are talking about the subject.

...and yes Lordo, there is a virgin birth, but not of the Republic, even its Flag stays the same. But, at another level of government there will be included within a set of Cypriot Constituencies, a Greek Constituency.

[Lordo]

the name will change. the most likely name will be federal republic of cyprus. it seems to me it is only logical. froc. perfect for our greek fanatics cause they like to wear their frilly frocs at the weekends.
