...you "OWN" Cyprus, if you are Cypriot, Not "Greek", not "Turkish", but Cypriot.

Cypriots choose to recognise and respect the diversity of Cyprus' ethnos; they seek to sustain the Cypriot Constituencies, living Bicommunally, as Individuals, and as Persons.

...you forget, MrH, you are a Human first of all, as races go; "Turkishness", being a "Turk" (or a "Greek") does not exclude this responsibility.

...as to the reaction to your post, it is natural; even the support you get from Lordo.

...i remind you, that the Turkish Army has failed Turkey, and that the British Army in Cyprus failed, as did the Americans in Iraq. People are stronger, the Truth has a value beyond the cost of War, and it will so long as there is even one individual willing to fight, for it. What is Truth? In Cyprus, it is that Cypriots died at the hands of "Greeks" and "Turks", not while "Greeks" and "Turks" fought each other for the most part; murdered, or made to disappear, being not "Greek", or not "Turk", but for "being" Cypriot. The truth is that "we" the rest of us allowed "them" to live among us, and remained silent as they grew. And as their intentions tore us apart, "they" were a choice, there for those without the strength to follow the way, seeking revenge instead, to act in Hateful ways. Indeed, we are "Greeks" and "Turks", the other half Cypriots.

...so, here i am, too, a Cypriot, in this conversation. Not "Greek", MrH, very much unlike "you", i don't choose to see the world in those terms. And, "Turkishness" is no better, in my opinion.

If you are Turk, and "cannot" be a Cypriot, in Cyprus, you are a "servant-slave" only to Erdogan a "Turk", no friend in affect to those who see a difference, between "them", and the rest of us.
