"Now, 28 years of waiting, I finally managed to go back there. Everything wasn't the same, everything was destroyed, abandoned, inside my mum's house even the sofa, the beds, the pictures, the mirrors, the carpet were the same! 28 years later ! .. I cried, I remembered. I lied on my knees and in front my houses ruins I prayed, for this country that suffered all these years, for those that lost their lives defending the values called home, land and country, for these people that are no longer called Turkish Cypriots or Greek Cypriots but just..Cypriots ! The fade brought us together centuries ago, a mistake took us apart, but the willing, the desire and the destiny will bring us together again! As we used to be before! We no longer hate them and they no longer hate us! We only hate the guns and the barbarians who did this! The rockets and the knifes that injured our lonely island! The only thing we want is the reunion...the peace!"

So somthing gets posted that you don't like/agree with, makes them a "tourist", instead of facing reality like everyone else, you attack!!!! good move

[cypezokyli]

on the contrary, this is why i didnot bother to write a reply.
it would be wrong to attack a tourist.

especially for someone who made so beautiful pictures of nicosia

[steveash]

and on what basis do you draw the conclusion that the OP was a tourist? as i cannot see anyware in the post that shows me that they are a tourist?

[cypezokyli]

i would kindly ask you to re-read the website.
it is all over the place that this person visited nicosia as tourist.
and there is nothing wrong with that!!!
i guess my impression of a foreign place might have been the same (..even though on some things i hope not )

as a courtesy to someone who visited my country, and obviously liked it, it would be wrong to attack his / her website in any way. despite the factual and other mistakes in it.

the reason is because i didnot get the feeling that this person had any motive in doing so.
bc as you may know, we have in cyprus foreigners who bc of (economic) interests are willing to manipulate the cypriot history. and this person is obviously not one of them
