Thank you Lana, you beat me to it by few minutes with your quote.
Please allow me to write this first.
Let me first of all say, how disappointed I feel in Viewpoint's point of view. I can tell from his "mean spirited" way, that he feels the same way about me. But that's OK, because I do not "march" to other peoples tunes. I do not side with any one group nor do I pretend to like or hate someone, just because others might. I have on this forum, spoken the truth which at times favoured the TC's and other times favoured the GC's. Since I had experienced the 1963-64 era first hand, I had argued on many occasions against the GC's.
I can't go through life blaming people of today for mistakes of yestarday, caused by others. I left Cyprus as one country, and that's all I know. Therefore "Viewpoint", just to answer you directly, Cyprus is where my roots are and that's were my loyalties lie, as well as in it's citizens. You wished me all the bad lucks in the world to happen. Who knows, perhaps you will get your wish. It will be my gift to you, so that you can have more reasons to argue your case against the GC's. When ever I'm asked as to where I'm from, I always say Cyprus, because that's the truth. If I want to visit Cyprus, it means 100% of Cyprus and not just part of it. You may choose to live just in the North and some GC's may only want to live in the South, but don't tell me where I should go and not to go.
I have always respected Bananiot's views, eventhough he has been accused everything under the sun by some forum members as being a paid agent of Turks and all the other BS, and all the TC's seems to enjoy his version of Cyprus events of the past, and possible outcome in the future. I'm sure "Viewpoint" respects Bananiot very much, so let me ask our friend Bananiot as to what he thinks of what I want to do, by visiting Cyprus and staying in the South, portion of my time. Does he approve or not.
Just to keep this thread in the rules Lana has outlined above, let me ask "Viewpoint". Will you recommend I stay in Girne/Kyrinia for me to see most parts of the North by doing day trips from there, or would you recommend other places.?
Live and let live people......
