JustCypriot wrote:There is a huge confusion and wrong information at the things you wrote. First of all what do you mean about your community's leadership? Neither GCs community or TCs community did not have and still not have a homogeneous leadership. As you guys have greek cypriot nationalist or greek nationalist we have the some amount of similar type of idiots as well. Both terrorised the people who wants the Cyprus together and murdered hundreds of people. TMT killed more TCs than GCs and EOKA killed more GCs than TCs. This is a statistical fact. Both these organisations are the only reason what we have today. And it is well documented that UK and USA used these organisations with Greece and Turkish government during that time. Also the website that I shared is not my website, its a well known organisation in the north, it is funny that you never heard of them since you are interested with Cypriot politics. Also other Cypriotist organisations like United Cyprus Party, KTÖS, New Cyprus Party and their ideas are not new as well. There were always TCs supported these ideas from 1950s and before, most of them killed by TMT and blacklisted by Turkey. Make your research, Dervis Ali Kavazoglu, Fazıl Onder, Ahmet Muzaffer Gurkan, Ayhan Hikmet, Kutlu Adalı and hundreds more. Even Dentaş's son assasinated by Turkey because of his views. So basicaly my tiny 18% community was not only trying to survive from EOKA massacres, we were also trying to be alive from TMT/Turkish massacres. And what do you think that 18% people can do? How can we deal with your traitor bastards and Turkey at the same time? So when you try to make a judgement you have to know the dynamics of the situation better. If you are hearing first time in your life these names and these organisations and struggle of our people, you cant write all these stuff.
Also we do not need to write these looooong stuff. The only way that this island can be united is to stop the fantastic and fictional nationalism like greek nationalism or turkish nationalism (which I can tell you that maybe 1 percent of TCs define themselves as a turkish nationalist but that number is not the same for greek cypriots. I know because I live in Cyprus and spend most of my time at south as well). If you want an independent Cyprus it has to have build on the concept of one nation, one flag and one homeland. Anything other than this only cause advantage of turkey, greece or brits or americans. And Cyprus will be divided until turkey continues and occupy other 2/3 of the island.
Plus one more correction for you: none of TCs are assimilating. They are fighting back and the ones who lost everything leave the island. There are around 1 million turkish settler living in the north today and maybe 80 thousand Cypriot left. And TCs are leaving island everyday because they suffer from Turkey, turkish settler and their oppression. And I have another news for you, turkish settlers population grows so fast because they are like rabbits. So if there wont be solution soon, they will really go after other 2/3 of the island. Good luck to you for when it happens, because if you guys continue to believe these stuff and look everything with maximalist perspective, it will happen soon.
You are the one who is confused. The website you linked to in the other topic (cypriots.org) talks about illegal occupation of north Cyprus by Turkey and rejects any federal solution in favor of a unitary state. Give me the links of TC parties that support such things and then tell me what percentage those parties got in your last elections. The truth is that the great majority of TCs are not opposing the occupation, but they are aiding it, and partition is their dream "solution".
And what is our "maximalist perspective"? The website you linked to (cypriots.org) says: "We reject any federal solution." "World Union of Turkish-speaking Cypriots believes that the only solution can come through a republic founded on principles of one flag, one identity, and social and unitary state values built by all Cypriots to determine their own destiny." The 95%+ of GCs would be more than happy with such a solution. What prevents such a solution from happening is Turkey and the majority of TCs.
