I didn't call you a criminal,Zan,and you know I never would.
I said the settlers will become TCs when they stop hiding like criminals in one corner of Cyprus.Or words to that effect.
I picked that topic "How long before the settlers are TCs" because I think it is very important.Sooner or later (probably much later) we will need to find an answer to that question. I was making the point that to become a TC you have to feel deep down in your heart that you are a Cypriot foremost.And that you want to live with other Cypriots whatever their background,in the whole of the island.That is my true personal belief.It will never change,and all my efforts will go towards trying to explain that to whoever wants to listen. It is my firm belief that we can't achieve "peace" in Cyprus by arming ourselves to the teeth and retreating behind our castle walls.The best we can do under those conditions is an uneasy siezefire,essentially what we have now. That is not good enough for me>I want better for my country and compatriots.
And I have high expectations and demands of those who want to share Cyprus with me.The settlers will have to shape up or ship out.Via the most humane way possible .
