In Cyprus he would get less votes than Outopos GR was raised and brainwashed in a foreign country and he has no clue of the history of our island so he makes up nonsense like the above! Instead of accepting that the reason he is a misfit is because he was foreign raised, he made up a whole imaginary story to convince himself that he is the "correct" kind of Cypriot and all the rest are wrong. Cyprus is as Greek as an any other Greek territory and it would have been part of the first Greek state if we had managed to liberate our island from foreign rule.During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the Ottoman authorities feared that Greek Cypriots would rebel again. Archbishop Kyprianos, a powerful leader who worked to improve the education of Greek Cypriot children, was accused of plotting against the government. Kyprianos, his bishops, and hundreds of priests and important laymen were arrested and summarily hanged or decapitated on July 9, 1821.

It may not work but a Greek speaking Cypriot academic challenges that theory.
Yet denial of the Armenian holocaust continues to gather pace in the US. Turkish government endowments to American universities suggest that Ankara might, in the words of the Boston Globe, be trying "to buy academic absolution from the dark past of the Armenian massacre".
