...the idea of a pure Cyprus, a "Greek" Cyprus ended with the advent of the Modern Age. With free mobility, education, and the progress which we aspire to create, Cyprus can be Cypriot, but to define a Cypriot as Greek is folly. Cyprus is Greek because the vast majority of its Citizens appreciate what being Greek can give them. But Cyprus is Turkish, Maronite, Armenian, Latin, and even English (as in English speaking), too.
Most importantly, Cypriots are facilitators of exchange, our diversity is our advantage, but we must recognise that "this" must stop, and we must be willing to defend each other.
...soon, in the not so distant future, beyond our own lifetimes perhaps, 12.5 million is not so hard to imagine, a population that is not "Greek", as "Greeks" like to define "Greeks" today, will be significantly larger. And whether Grecophone or not, Cypriots, taxpayers born and raised; what will "Greeks" say to them, what will "Greeks" say to themselves, about "Greekness"?
What more detail do you need when this whole shenanigan begins with the automatic upgrade of 350,000 odd Anatolian gypsies to “Cypriot” level!
