Speaking your mind is not stupid.
Disliking someone that has killed familly members forced you from your land at gun point is not racist.

What do you mean people like me? I dislike Turks am I not intitled?
Can not trust them as far as I can throw one.
Is that wrong too??

There are 80 million Turks in Turkey do you think all these agree with the Turkish government? Hating all of them is not the right approach to take!

Noone has been born to be bad and evil! And noone has been born to be a Thief or a Killer!

Turkey has not shown any constructive approach to end the conflict If this is what you mean then I agree.

How can you put it all behind you.
Someone comes to your house kills familly members throws you out.
You cant do I thing about it. 30 years pass and suddenly everything is a ok.

Noone said that everything is ok this is the reason the Cyprus issue has not be resolved yet!

Maybe some others have similar stories to share?

Greeks and Turks have been enemies since the start of time all will always be. Get used to it.

I can not understand how this is related with Cyprus. Cyprus is an independent country according to the UN Charter. What does independent mean?

There are TURKS & GREEKS (black and white)

Sorry but I totally disagree with this. See my answer above!

I believe re-unification is possible but we do need to take baby steps.

I know what you mean andry but who is going to take these steps If he/she is afraid to Walk!

Basically I agree with andrie_cy and the holistic way she sees the world. I know a number of persons from both sides of the divide who lost loved ones to the minotaur of nationalism and bigotry. Most of these people support peace and peaceful co existence. Our communities have suffered enough and the only way forward is to look for a happy and prosperous future for all.

i ll agree as well with the above

[michalis5354]

Personally I would like to have seen more actions from the GC side towards the TC community! To gain their trust and realise that their support from Turkey is not needed. As long as such actions are not there then TC community will still insist on Turksih Aid and support as what TC want - Are ASSURANCES that what happened in the past will not happen again!

The UN said that neither side has shown real determination to end the conflict!

[michalis5354]

For the above reasons I believe that the GC side is also responsible for the lack of progress.Actions are needed.More Channels of communications - Joint Projects - Show them that your INCENTIVES ARE REAL AND NOT FAKE!

CYPRUS PROBLEM IS CYPRUS PROBLEM which means that the decisions and actions should come from Inside not outside! Where are these actions ?

When someone has a problem he/she takes measures to solve it and does not expect from someone outsider to come and provide that help.

[Bananiot]

Absolutely!

[michalis5354]

Then we come and accuse all the foreigners of providing an unfair solution to the problem! Where is OUR PLAN that we have proposed? Where is it?

We blame all others apart of ourselves this is where the problem lies!

How can you realistically expect to go on with a rascist attitude thats creates hatred and will eventually partition Cyprus permanently.

This is again a racist approach. Because someone has a negative approach this means that a whole race should be associated with his approach and the whole race should be convicted?
Sorry, but people that are looking for excuses to continue illegalities and crimes against a whole race are even worst than those that they accuse since they perform racist actions not just racist words.

Piratis which part of my post is rascist? It is a fact that if this is the attitude of many on both sides then why would they want to live together thus only possible solution is permanent partition. Changes in attitudes towards others races surely is a step in the right direction.

Please read the other thread "the worst solution plan-the piratis plan" I seem to remember you own me an apology for a mis-quote. I take offence that you say my approach is racist just because i dis-agree with some of your posts does not make me a racist or my approach racist. If you have a problem with me or my posts please do the responsible thing and take it off board, you should know that being a moderator of a section of this site.

The consiracy theories at work. I think, we exist despite of our mistakes and it is a miracle we still have half of Cyprus. By the way, Talat today accused AKEL of belonging to those that do not want a solution. I agree.
