mrfromng , The message on the wall , as you call , is nothing more than pure graffiti. As far as the foreign tourists are concerned I dont think almost 3 million that visit Cyprus every year will bud an eyelid at the sight of what clearly is what it is .GRAFFITI. They see this type in their respective countries every day.
Please dont ask me if I think graffiti signs like these are conducive to the encouragement of unification , I would have thought that I made it crystal clear as to my views on hatred gestures. Can I also voice my concern at your obvious reluctance to regenerate your thinking and allow it to examine what after all is the main stumbling block to a solution , and that is the continuing presence of Foreign troops on our land , that is on your land and mine.
Im of course refering to the 40000 Turkish troops. Can i just say something on the Kurdish situation . Would Turkey allow some 15 million Kurds create their own nation and demand that this nation is accorded world wide regognition ? I very much doubt it.

Kikapu,

You are right, it's presence is right "in your face" and it is not cool. For me the natural beauty of the mountain face would be preferred.

Biz essek, Rumlar bizden essek. Its that simple.

Kikapu,

Would be nice to have a translation on that.
I have to say I have no idea about no wall cause I never seen it. You are talking about it like you are 100% sure its still there but the truth is you dont know and you are assuming. So maybe you SHOULD go look for yourself. I am sure no one will put a knife in your throat as I am sure you know how to be respectful. You talk about reunification in one post and against it in another. Maybe getting your facts and your ideas and beliefs straight would help too. And no a flag isnt just a flag. Its a "haha we got your land" flag.

[cypezokyli]

its a stupid slogan.
i dont know if it is still there , but i saw in a number of t-shirts , in the army....and sometimes outside

[suetoniuspaulinus]

Perhaps its because we have more respect for others, as individuals rather than governments, which is why that slogan would be removed.

I remember waking up in the morning and seeing a huge flag on Pentadaktulos..illuminated!

Yes, that flag is the biggest in the world actually and can be seen from all parts of Nicosia.

Turks put that flag there to remind us every day of how they stole our land and ethnically cleansed 1/3rd of the population. Amazing that with such reminders people don't go to write "We love Turks" on the walls every day!

Oh, and by the way, this flag is made by the official Turkish government and their pseudo state in Cyprus. Not by some individual that after loosing half his family during the Turkish invasion went and wrote some message on a wall.

MAKE YOU GLAD TO BE FREE AND LIVE IN THE NORTH...OH HAPPY DAYS

I remember seeing a picture in the papers of a wall on the south, possibly near Ledra Palace with the words "A GOOD TURK IS A DEAD TURK".

Does this wall still exist? If so where exactly is it?

since they refuse to say i will YES IT IS STILL THERE AT LEDRA PALACE TO THE ETENAL SHAME OF THE SOUTH....

just goes to show they will crow about being free fredom of expression but ask them how many women children and old people eoka killed they will not dare give you a DIRECT answer but will go on about who did what and never never answer or admit their shamefull part in the sad events of 1960 - 1974

RETIRED2CYPRUS, hope you enjoyed your insult to the thousands of greek cypriot refugees who lost there homes. I urge all anti-occupation forum members to condem and confront RETIRED2CYPRUS and his group of british property thieves.

Sooner or later the refugees will get there land returned and greedy brits like you will be out on there ear.

[miltiades]

retire2northcyprus , we need help from all concerned to establish a civilised platform in order to establish peace and safeguard the future of all Cypriots therefore inflammatory language that is best suited to a hooligan and especially a retired one , is not conducive to the promotion of peace on our island.Many Brits bought property in the occupied part of Cyprus not for the love of Cyprus or my fellow Turkish Cypriots , but because it was CHEAP .
The British working class has always endeavoured to improve their lot , so honourarbly , some not . You and others who purchased what is after all mostly stolen property will sooner rather than later realize that you were wrong. Hope your retirement is a peaceful end enjoyable one , and if you cant be constructive towards a Cyprus solution may I suggest that you enjoy the sun and the beer or get out of here.
