Our History - Greek Civilization for more than 3000 years
Our Country - Devided by the Turkish imperealism and Greek nationalism
Our Traditions - Mostly tied to Greek Orthodox traditions
Our Dialect - A beautiful dialect of the Greek language similar to Rhodian and Cretan
Our Ethic, - Not so good if you check the civil servants and public sector
Our Education level, - Pretty good only for the well off
Our Philotimo, - A Greek word only existant in the greek language
Our Height - Greek Cypriots are amongst the shortest Greeks
Our strengths -
Our Vision - For a unified Cyprus that will hug all its citizens equally and will respect their ethnicities
Our Hospitality - Xenios Dias... reminds you of something? Maybe one of the most important cultural rules of Ancient Hellenic Civilisation?
Our family values - Pretty good still in this part of the Mediteranean
The Respect for other people we generate. - ???
The loyalty we we provide. - ???
Our work Ethic - Let me remind you the Stock exchange and Helios Airways...

Asto shoushouko... even your name that you think is a Cypriot only sweet food... you can find in Omonoia and Monastiraki mpakali also with about 20 different flavours than just plain..

Our Country - Devided by the Turkish imperealism and Greek nationalism - Just the latter methinks

[i]Our Ethic, - Not so good if you check the civil servants and public sector[/i] - You're bang on with this one.
Our Education level, - Pretty good only for the well off - Hmmm, actually not bad compared to other parts of the EU.
Our Philotimo, - A Greek word only existant in the greek language - What's this mean?
Our Height - Greek Cypriots are amongst the shortest Greeks - and TCs amongst Turks too!
[i]Our strengths [/i]- You left it blank and I have to too!
Our Vision - For a unified Cyprus that will hug all its citizens equally and will respect their ethnicities - Yup, without discrimination hard or soft.
Our Hospitality - Xenios Dias... reminds you of something? Maybe one of the most important cultural rules of Ancient Hellenic Civilisation? - and Ottoman.
[i]Our family values - Pretty good still in this part of the Mediteranean[/i] - Yup
[i]The Respect for other people we generate. - ???[/i] - ???
The loyalty we we provide. - ??? -???
Our work Ethic - Let me remind you the Stock exchange and Helios Airways... - Heh heh us too!

Then I am a traitor...

Because I love cyprus more than my own country...

I am proud of some aspects of our history and ashamed of others..

Strahd, one of the most balanced posts I have seen from you, very honest... and I agree your points...

Patriotic means to support and fight for your country. I don't think we have to say that we are better than others to be patriots :roll:
