Cypriots intimidated and murdered Cypriots of their own communities that advocated creating a united Cyprus. Cypriots killed and murdered innocent Cypriots for no other reasons that they were from the 'other' community. No group is more responsible by their choices, their actions and their lack of actions, for the division we have today in Cyprus than Cypriots. One of the many commonalities that many GC and TC share is the tendency to instinctively seek to blame everyone and anyone but themselves for everything and anything.
That is because we are different. We are the native population, who are Greek and Christian, and the Turks are a foreign to us culture / religion / language which was imposed on our island against our will. Should we blame ourselves for having the bad luck of being invaded by the Turks? I am not against finding as many commonalities as possible, but your position is wrong as a matter of principle. If tomorrow we are invaded by Arab Islamist fundamentalists and they manage to hold on to Cyprus for a couple of centuries creating an Arab minority in Cyprus, would that mean that when we manage to gain our freedom that we would have to find a commonality between Sharia law and Islamic religious fundamentalism, and our aspiration for a European democratic Cyprus? Of course no. We will respect your human rights, you can have some minority rights like in other democratic countries, if there are some commonalities GREAT, but beyond that we are not obligated to sacrifice our principles and aspirations to satisfy the demands of every minority.
Sotos you do write some racist dribble. You share the language of the Nazis, the BNP and the Front Nationale who also talk of Natives and the Christian crusade. They also trash the religions of others the Jews in the case of Nazis. And like most racists you have no answers as to how your greek utopia, your final solution will come about. All you have is a fantasy land created in your head. How are you going to get the Turkish Cypriots to accept this second class status and return to the enclaves, how are you going to rid Cyprus of the 150-200,000 settlers whose numbers grow daily and the Turksh army. How are you going to reverse partition and ethnic cleansing. Pray tell......
