Here Here G Man!!

I think most Brits are getting really fed up with being blamed for something they haven't done.

I love living in Cyprus and I think the majority of its people are warm and friendly. Why can't we all live and let live.

Peace in Cyprus

[Natty]

Don't worry Snad, not everyone blames the British, they just feel let down with British policy on Cyprus, past and I guess present...

I mean it was the colonial Government making the decisions, not the ordinary (no offence to anyone ) people!

Peace!

Does anyone know the names of all the BRAVE CYPRIOTS who the BRITISH EXECUTED during the anti-colonial war for independence in the 1950s ?
And dont forget that the BRITISH POLICE & ARMY tortured hundreds of cypriots in there prisons.
And dont forget that the BRITISH supported & still support the turkish invasion & occupation of cyprus.
And remember that the BRITISH still occupy cyprus land with there free military bases.
And its the BRITISH who are buying most of the homes built on STOLEN GREEK CYPRIOT land in the OCCUPIED north of cyprus.

It doesn't take much to rattle your cage, lysi!

Are you a Cypriot or a Troll?

I believe you are female but unfortunately obsessive and irrational.

Do you live in North London?

Spiders..........!

Lets look at this is a different light. Something that Doglover said earlier about greed on property prices to foreigners. People are getting wise to the fact that they are getting ripped off with property. All you need to do is go to Makenzy, Oroklini or Livadia where there are large British communities. The workmanship on these properties are shabby, developers rush to build as much as they can in as short a time as possible to maximise profits. I've seen 1 bedroom apartments for sale in these areas going for £65,000 in what could be best described as a glorified cupboard.

I bet that buying in the North, you can buy a larger property, more bedrooms with better workmanship at a much much cheaper price.

Now what looks more attractive to a buyer?



For the record, I DON'T support or agree with anybody buying property on stolen land.

[Swashbuckler]

I always enjoy Lysi's postings. She proves that although it's no longer politically correct to make fun of cripples or the afflicted, one can still derive amusement from brain-dead retards and the nonsense they dribble. Please tell me, was Lysi the place known for its prediliction for in-breeding?

Buying stolen goods will always be cheaper. However doing so is illegal. Therefore such criminal illegal actions are attractive only to criminal scumbags that don't mind to gain illegally by exploiting the pain of others.

Why cant we just stop the hatred, as none of the brits that live here are responsible for the actions of past govts, and do not deserve to be blamed for them..

G.Man nobody (apart maybe from Lysi) is blaming ALL British. Such generalization would be obviously wrong. However you have to consider 2 factors, that I believe fuel the heated discussions between some British and GCs:

1)
The actions of the British government today are still hostile towards Cyprus. Along with the USA, the UK totally overlooks the crimes of Turkey in Cyprus and they do everything to support the Turkish interests, and in this way not only helping them to continue to ignore international law, but also helping them to continue with the human rights violation in Cyprus and even in Turkey itself (Kurds etc).

Of course the policies of the UK against Cyprus have another reason: That by maintaining a conflicting environment between GCs and TCs they can guarantee that Cypriots will be always preoccupied fighting each other and they will never be truly united, in which case they can easily demand the removal of the British bases (in fact they used this conflict as an excuse to not even pay the rent for the bases!!).

At the same time they can use the Cyprus problem as another way to get Turkey to serve their interests. Since Turkey will not want to lose the support of UK/USA in Cyprus, EU accession etc, Turkey will always act in ways that serve the interests of the Anglo-Americans.

Now whats your personal fault in this? As I said before, generalizing is wrong. However the UK is a democratic country, and theoretically at least, the actions of their government should reflect the beliefs of the majority of the British people. Therefore while not every single British person is to be blamed, collectively the British people, who support such kind of governments that are so hostile against us, can not be totally excused from all responsibility. (unless of course you claim that democracy is only theoretical in the UK)

2)
Second, and most important in our case, is the behavior of some of the British forum members towards Cyprus. While these British live here, I don't see many of them supporting the rights of Republic of Cyprus over its own land that is currently illegally occupied by Turkey. In fact many of them follow their UK government and think of Turkey as their good buddy, and not as the country who is illegally occupying the northern part of the country which they are residents (Cyprus).

Unfortunately it can get even worst with some people. While they can be very vocal and complain about Cyprus and Cypriots (Cypriots don't stop at red lights, Cypriots this, Cypriots that), they don't seem to be bothered much with the crimes that some of their compatriots commit against us by "buying" land in the occupied part of Cyprus. The criticism towards those criminals is very light, if any, and some forum members even support them and their criminal illegal actions! Thats in sharp contrast with their complains about Cypriots, were these same British can moan for pages if there is something they don't like about Cyprus.

Such kind of behavior is obviously very provocative and the reaction from Greek Cypriots is natural. Just imagine if a foreigner (e.g. an Arab) comes to your country and he openly supports crimes and illegalities against your country. What would you think of this foreigner?

Guys and Gals

Some of us have a lot of empathy with you for the actions of british govts in the past... we support the GC community in a search for a solution to the cyprus problem for the good of cyprus. I doubt any of use support the stealing of GC land in TRNC, and above all we want to live hear in harmony with the locals...

Any greek cypriot in the UK can live in cyprus if they want, so they do have a choice...

Why cant we just stop the hatred, as none of the brits that live here are responsible for the actions of past govts, and do not deserve to be blamed for them..

I dont hate you G.Man

[laptanige]

Does anyone know the names of all the BRAVE CYPRIOTS who EOKA EXECUTED during the CIVIL war for in the 1950s ?
And dont forget that eoka tortured hundreds of cypriots

And dont forget that Greece supported & still support the attempted coup that lead to the TURKISH INTERVENTION mo greeks cypriots murdured by eoka in recent yeards... NO turkish cypriots murdered by eoka either THE INTERVENTION DID WORK

And remember that the BRITISH still occupy cyprus land with there free military bases in order to stop greek cypriots continuing with ENOSIS AND THE MURDER OF INNOCENTS

And its the BRITISH who are buying most of the homes built GREEK CYPRIOT land in the north of cyprus THUS ENABELING THE TURKISH CYPRIOTS TO GAIN econmic SURVIVAL DESIPTE ALL THE EFFORTS OF WAR CRIMINAL PAPODOP AND HIS GANG OF MURDOUROUS THUGS
