GreekCypriotGurl_UK wrote:cypezokyli as for "history is history". if you ever actually bothered with history the first think you realise is that there is no history out there - there are histories. in a history book you dont read history you read historians. it is the opinion of the person who wrote it , nothing more nothing less.
..............
if you think that force is the only solution , what is the point of participating in this forums actually ?
what do you think the purpose of this forums actually are ?
Cypezokyli you say there is no history because its convinient for you to say theres no history but your history tells me what your Turk ancestors where and it dont suprise me that you want to say theres no history as you have already destroyed the greek history in north cyprus and changed names of villages so you now you say theres no history.
what a typical answer. even though i just presented the cypriot national poem
anyway, ask piratis. he can verify whether i am a gc or not.... unless i am turk agent who can use both greek and gc dialect.... take care... it could be that you are currently messing with the deep state....
in all parts of the world that there has been fighting usually each side has its own "history". if you are not in a position to undersdand that , then use the argument "you are a turk" .
it works everytime one wants to avoid giving or has no answer.
to be exact , if you see how many schools of historians there are out there, perhaps you might realise that historians hardly ever agree on history, the way all mathematicians accept pythagoras law.
as for the turks: the ottomans (if we want to be exact) didnot destroy the greek history of cyprus. what kind of history have you been reading ? they allowed the cypriot population to speak greek and practise its religion. moreover the ottoman empire didnot got involved in mass destruction of ancient greek monuments .
just to avoid having an answer of the type : so the gc lived happily under the ottoman empire ?
thats a typical answer to sth i have not said.
the ottomman empire , was precisely an
empire and it acted as one. no empire ever had any altruistic tendencies
if you are really interested in the destruction of ancient greek culture you might start with the "christians".
take a walk in athens and pick any of the anti-jewish books that are around. you might be surprised how much greek literature refers to the desctruction of hellenism by the jewish religion... oops i meant christianism...
its one of the most popular markets in greece.
Cypezokyli you are a hypocrite it was convinent for you turks to use force to ethnic cleanse greeks and force people out but you say force is wrong.
thank you for your kind remarks.
could i ask you to post exactly where i wrote that ?
should i expect an answer to that gcgirl ?
why do you participate in those forum why you use this forum for a platform to Support the Turkish occupation of Cyprus
i participate in these forums bc :
i believe have learned a lot concerning cyppro itself
i believe i have learned a lot on how different tcs think (their views are also not uniform either) - which has a chaotic difference from what i thought (or i was told) they thought
in some extreme cases where forum members do not just recycle the same arguments, they do not repeat their own point of view of history and/or not swearing at each others, there have been some proposal discussions regarding the cyppro..... and those proposals had nothing to do with war or force......believe it or not
i have used the forums as platforms to come into contact or even meet with people , both gcs and tcs....even germans
what this meetings have shown to me is....... i do not want to destroy the fairy tale that denktash told you....excuse me your highly "objective " sources (even though the similarities never stop amazing me) ... but greeks , turks , greekcypriots and turkishcypriiots can be friends, and in many cases we are friends.
