Reportfrom Cyprus , your summing up is a little off the mark .


"""Facts are, that Cyprus has been a disputed island for centuries, with anyone within a spitting distance laying claim to it you can see where the timeline came from here:

What you should have ended with is this : Facts are Cyprus has been conquered by many foreign nations who denied the natives their right to their island. The Cypriots , G/Cs , T/Cs , Armenians and recently arrived British , Russian and other Eastern Europeans have a legitimate right to be equal citizens under the law. What they do not have a right to do is to pay allegiance to a nation that the vast majority of Cypriots , some 80% consider as an invading power. There has to be an acceptance of Universal norms and codes of behaviour.

You see Natty? Respect your opinion, as always, miltiades.

1) What was so wrong with GC's wanting enosis with Greece?

Well Natty, even according to Piratis, who claims, that overwhelming majority of Greek Cypriots today, do not wish to unite with Greece in a form of a Enosis, so perhaps the Turkish Cypriots had the foresight back in the 60's, that Enosis was not in the best interest of Cyprus.

I don't however hear our GC's friends saying "thank you" to the TC's, for preventing a terrible mistake that the Enosis would have been, that they ( the GC's ) do not want it today.

Thanks reportfromcyprus, much appreciated!

I've been a member of this forum for a long time now, yet I'm still so confused about many things...although I guess I'm not the only one...

BTW, When I said I didn't support 'the independent idea' I meant the 'the enosis idea'...Just to clear that up...

You are definitely not the only one with questions, but one of the few who is willing to ask questions and keep an open mind, I think.

The more I discuss all these issues in the forum, the more I realise that we must somehow visualise a new future instead of wallowing in the pain and anger of the past.

Small correction on my post; the Rumelians came over from Anatolia in 8500 BC, not 6500 BC.

I can't even remember what I ate for supper last night, and you're worried about, whether it was 8500 BC or 6500 BC. !!!

Ohhhh Pleeease.

You had spaghetti bolognaise.

[Kikapu]

You had spaghetti bolognaise.

I haven't had that awful dish, since I left school in the 70's.

Wait a minute, it's coming to me..wait wait..yes, I remember. I had, split Red Lentil soup, bread and black olives.

If that doesn't have Cypriot written all over it, I don't know what else would.

[reportfromcyprus]

Yum, send me the recipe and I'll post it in rfc's cooking corner.

[reportfromcyprus]

Hey, what's wrong with spaghetti bolognaise, you biased against italians? Remember the roman empire, they could make a comeback, they already colonised cyprus once...

[andri_cy]

Well RFC when you eat that dish once a week for years, you probably will get done with it, Italian or not....lol
