TAKEN FORM THE CYPRUS MAIL,
you can see how intersted the students are in protesting, most of them were enjing a Latte instead.


"WALKING through the streets of the centre of Nicosia yesterday, one thing was guaranteed; you would be hard-pushed to find a seat in one of the many caf?s in the old town. On the 23rd anniversary of the declaration of the ‘TRNC’, the significance of this day looked the furthest thing from the minds of most children hanging out down town.

Walking past Solomou Square just before midday, a group of students with Greek and Cypriot flags did pass by with a banner with the words ‘Cyprus is Greek’. These students, not more than 200 at the time, were not clear of their destination but were probably heading towards Ledra Palace. At various stages they were shouting “Our borders are in Kyrenia”.

Speaking to one of the youngsters, he said ‘I don’t know about anyone else, but I am here for the demonstration.”

However, he did appear to be part of a small minority. Moving away from the square and going to Makariou Street, this is where the main core of the students was located. Crammed into the coffee shops and walking in and out of retailers, the youngsters who were not involved in the demonstrations were enjoying another day off school, after having Monday off as well because of the Archbishop’s name day.

One cannot say that most of the youth has in fact forgotten or simply do not care any more about protesting against the north’s declaration of independence, but it is safe to say that their priorities nowadays lie elsewhere."

Of course, Dalaras is fake.

The fake is you. Fake Cypriot.

I looked at the pictures and I didn't see any obese kids.

And what are the "third world manifestetions"? Democracy and human rights? On the contrary, what you want for Cyprus is to become a third world country without these esential elements.

As long as we lack the political will to form a BBF based on the equality of the two communities we can expect the cementing of partition to continue.

Can you point me to any other country were there is a racist separation between its citizens, were instead of having equal citizens they have equality of communities? Which is your model for Cyprus Bananiot? Bosnia maybe?

This is what Papadfopoulos and Christofias want so that they can clink to power and share between them the spoils. Piratis will one day wake up and face reality, I hope.

Papadopoulos, Christofias and everybody else is democratically elected by the people. People clearly reject your Nazi crap and fortunately you don't have the power to enforce them against our democratically expressed will.

And one more thing: The only thing that can cement partition is our signature. Without our signature partition can not be legalized. And an illegality can never be cemented. It can only last for as long as the balance of power favors it. The next day it will end.

I think it's great that GC schoolchildren have the day off on TRNC day as well. Another holiday...another celebration.

It's wonderful that irrespective of which side we live on we can all take time off and reflect on the peace and security that the establishment of the TRNC has brought.

Funny tho', I'd have thought the GCs would have preferred to ignore somethg like this as according to them it's merely "pseudo".

Oh well - enjoy the holiday everyone!!

Twisted Evil Buckling the Swash Twisted Evil

they dont celebrate the TRNC BECAUSE IT DOESNT EXIST . .and yes it is psuedo, ofcourse it is. .how dare to claim it as TRNC!

Piratis,
I think you will find that the passage of time will cement the partition. When you and I are long gone and just dust beneath their feet future generations of TC's for that is what the settlers will eventually become will be so entrenched in Cyprus that they will become as much Cypriot as that mouse that was recently discovered. It will only be then that GC historians will look back and realise what a wasted opportunity the Annan plan was and how the chance for a united Cyprus was squandered by the blind nationalism of the GC's.
Its a pity but there we. What can you do?

My friend, a chance for a united Cyprus was NEVER given. So how could we miss something that never excisted?

The Annan plan was a partition plan that would give to you the partition that you wanted, thats why you voted "yes" to it, since partition has always been your dream.

The blind nationalists and extremists are those that still insist on illegalities. What is so "nationalistic" in wanting human rights and democracy for your country?

Partition would only be cemented if we agreed to it. This didn't happen, and it will not happen. A defacto partition with negative concequences to both sides will remain until the balance of power will change and Turkey and TCs forced to realize that by trying to gain on our loss with crimes and illegalities, they are in fact losing more than us.

But Piratis, you never answered the question that I asked you a long time ago. Those Greek Cypriots that accepted the plan, were they partitionists too?

A partitionist is somebody that wants partition. Most of those GCs that voted "yes" would also vote "yes" for 1960 agreements or a true unity plan. Can you say the same for the TC partitionists?

The reasons that some GCs accepted (not wanted) that partition plan vary from case to case. Some of them accepted it because of personal benefit (the ones that would return to the 7% that was given back), others were hoping that we can sign a plan and later on the TCs will have the goodwill to accept big changes in the plan, others didn't have a clue what the plan was about and they just thought it was a unification plan etc.
