more Cypriot.

Absolutely more.
I didn't sell out my ancestors to a foreign entity.

You have to understand something, this is never going to go away. ever.
It's like trying to sell the flat earth theory in the 21st century and not expecting a barrage of objections.

Sotos, was born sometime after 1974 so he has NO IDEA what was going on in Cyprus pre 74. Anyway...

When Grivas died in 1971 there was no second in command to take charge so for the frenzied Hellenists it was like a green light to do as they pleased, so between 71 and 74 God knows how many people were arrested, tortured and murdered for refusing to go along with Greece’s ideas.

On and on with your lies! Or, exposed for your lack of local knowledge ....

Pathetic

I thought it was 71 or 72…. ah well whatever year.

Anyone that was around before 74 would make no mistake about the year Grivas died...Get Real you are full of shit!!!! And stop harassing My boy Sotiri!!!!

[Sotos]

So you insist that Greece had some magical powers to turn non Greeks into Greeks with a magical remote control that had a 700km range? Don't you understand how stupid your argument is? Really?

No magical powers... Give me the ministry of education of *ANY* country for a century and I’ll pump out citizens in whichever configuration you wish.


I can easily duplicate idiotic little Sotos' by the truckload!

So Greece was given the ministry of education of Cyprus in 1920? Really? The ones who did actually rule Cyprus for centuries didn't manage to turn us into Turks, British, Latins, Persians etc.. so your theory falls flat in two different ways!

[Sotos]

Sotos* believes that he acquired a “ethnicity” from presumed 2000+ year old foreign travelers to Cyprus but for some bizarre reason he never acquired the ethnicity of billions of other travelers that have come and gone to Cyprus over the millenniums and centuries… not even from those during his lifetime!

In fact, last year thousands of German tourists flocked the Limassol beaches yet Sotos remained unscathed from their ethnicity even though they were bathing only a few kilometers away from his house!

Isn’t it fascinating how on Cyprus the masses apply SELECTIVE ETHNICITY with which to identify themselves?


* sorry mate for using you in my examples all the time but you’re a perfect candidate

If you were right and our ethnicity was defined by "travelers" and by the "ministry of education" then our ethnicity would keep changing... we would be Latins one day, Turks the next, then British etc. The fact that it doesn't change and remains Greek is another proof of how stupid your theory is. Our ethnicity, just like our language, has been the same for 1000s of years, and this doesn't change with any travelers or any foreign rulers. Just look at the Kurds ... under foreign rule for centuries, never had their own state, the Turks tried hard to assimilate them... and yet none of that worked. They have their own language and their own culture and this makes all Kurds one nation, regardless if part of their homeland is currently under Turkey, Iraq or Syria.

So then you admit you're just making everything up as you go along. All that, ".....so between 71 and 74 God knows how many people were arrested, tortured and murdered for refusing to go along with Greece’s ideas...." stuff is all crap off the top of your tiny head!

Something about the amount of information that my brain needs to hold compared to the amount of information a truck driver needs to hold that *may* have something to do with my getting a date wrong.

But, I reckon it’s just as well I made a mistake with Grivas’ DOD because it’s given *you* the strength to come out of the woodwork and “destroy” my posts eh?

Are you not aware that Cyprus' ministry of education has been run by Greece for the last 100 odd years? Where have you been?

Did you not wonder as a child why all history books arrived from Greece FREE of charge or why all Cypriot teachers had to graduate from Athens?

How else did you expect indoctrination to work?

My dear, you were raised in the remote north-western corner of Cyprus where the most exciting thing that happened between 1950 and 1974 was when Yiannis’ cow gave birth to triplets but unlike you I lived in Nicosia where all the ACTION was.

I’ll bet the isolated people of your village; cut off by the huge Troodos mountain range, didn’t even realize when the Venetians, Romans, Ottomans, and a bunch of 20 other tribes came and went!

Btw, when was the first asphalt road built that connected your village with the rest of Cyprus? Was it not sometime in the 1990s when a bunch of adventurous Brits discovered you while trekking?

They came back with stories of a remote people who communicated in a form of Skoullos sign language and with their nakedness covered by sheepskins!

We got the books because we ASKED for them. We ASKED for them because we are Greek. Same thing with the teachers... they went to study in Greek universities because they were Greek. Greece was in no position to impose anything on Cypriots against our will. So your argument that Greekness was somehow forced on us is total bullshit. On the contrary it proves just how Greek we are since your argument can be made for nearly everybody else but not Cypriots: Those who live in Anatolia think they are Turks because they were forced and brainwashed by those who rule Anatolia. Those who live in Britain think they are English because they were forced and brainwashed by those who ruled Britain. It can not be said for us because Greece was in no position to force anything on us, and what we got from them is only what we ASKED for because we are Greek.
