Well,I don't think Cypezokyli is a TC and he doesn't think I am a GC.
I wonder why???
Neither do I. I was just commenting on how it is funny that even some TCs now think he is a TC. You are a bit different. You do not jump in every time a TC makes any comments about GCs, in the same way Cypezokyli does.
If you want me to post in detail you will have to ask me specific questions,Simon.
I have, I asked how Cypezokyli was talking sense to me and how I was not interested?
I wasn't necessarily refering to you with my comments.
OK, well that answers my question. Thanks.
As you said they were general,and sometimes that is the best answer.By the nature of these forums we often have to repeat ourselves,and sometimes it gets too boring.
What i object is people making blanket statements like "Turks or TCs are thieves and murderers".When you paint a whole nation or people with the same brush,that statement has to be racist.
You want me to go deeper? in 1964 my great uncle was killed in his sick bed.He was over 80 years old and could not run away from the GC thugs who attacked his village.He begged his people to leave him on his sick bed because he didn't think anybody would want to kill a sick old man.He was wrong. So does that give me the right to call all GCs bloody murderes.NO NO NO. All i can say is that the person who killed my great uncle was a pitiful individual who had lost his humanity for reasons known only to him. I can't say Simon or Piratis or Cypezokyli are inhumane murderers,because you happen to belong to the same ethnic group as those sad individuals who committed those crimes.
Nationalism and racism are two evils which has brought us to where we are in Cyprus.I spent most of my life (37 years) in a foreign country wondering why us Cypriots have allowed this catastrophy to befall our beloved country. I have not been to my village in Paphos for 40 years,and when I go I will find nothing there to remind me of my childhood. I just can't stand to see people looking for simple answers and someone to blame for the whole tragedy,without thinking that the other side has suffered as much and even more in some cases.
Can you see what I mean,Simon???
I agree with you on most of what you say. However, the one thing I would say is that just because the Cyprus problem is complex, it does not mean the solution has to be complex. I believe that the more complex the solution, the less likely it will work. I also believe that no solution will work unless both sides are happy with it. It is no good the US trying to force the Annan Plan on GCs, because it will only end in disaster again; just like there is no point in GCs starting a campaign for enosis again, because that would only end in disaster (although I do believe that if Britain would have allowed this after WWI as they should have, we would not have the problems we have today).
However, today, the solution MUST be mutually acceptable. The only way it can be, is if it is based on fairness, equitable principles, human rights, proportionality and the rule of law. Don't you agree?? At the moment, I do not see any of the above in Cyprus. And not based on 'there is a limit on what we can demand because we lost a war.' Cypezokyli. A solution on this basis would also end in disaster. It is comments like this that make people think he is a TC. Can you blame them?
well if thats the case why have i not seen one post from a TC on this forum saying they want Cyprus reunited and for the turk army and settlers to leave ? all i seen in TC's saying they want cyprus divided that its our fault turkey invaded well where ever the TC's want reunification or not does not matter to me we should find a way to re unite Cyprus with or without the TCs
...mmm....let google for a minute...
