P.S. I see her father ran one of our mines - you know, rich mines that the colonialists bled dry of minerals and useful deposits!
I cannot agree with you GIG, it was the Brits who first gave us these identities, "Greeks" and "Turks"; to this day the people in and from my village identify themselves as Cypriots, but then that is what we were called, then: mixed. I suggest to you with your attitude, that being "Greek" to be a Cypriot will only lead to the extinction of Greek entirely. Think about it.
@Garavnoss, you may be a latent homosexual yourself, i suspect that your own fears are as such.
The Brits also taught us the Greek language.
