I know many and am one myself and i dont think anyone from the richest to the poorest would ever want to go over there again to live!. The only ppl that want re-unification are the poor TC's that are stuck over there with the Turks.
Joanna, I do not know who you really are, and I do not even know if you are truly a GC. Assuming that you are indeed a GC, I must tell you that the ideas you expressed above are completely foolish and even treacherous, from a GC perspective. You say "we stay as we are!" What do you mean by that? Do you mean, to retain the present status quo for ever, i.e. a territory part of our homeland to remain under foreign occupation, billions of pounds worth of GC properties illegally usurped in the north, thousands of GC refugees in the settlement camps remaining property-less for ever, and a non recognized self-proclaimed entity in the north claiming to represent the TC community? Is this what you are suggesting? Do you realize that if this de facto anomaly, injustice and illegality, is to be maintained for ever as a result of our own Greek Cypriot will, pursuit and initiatives, it will eventually become de jure? Is that what you are suggesting? Are you suggesting the eventual legalization of the results of an illegal aggression, theft and ethnic cleansing against 1/3 of the GC population, and the final and complete Turkification of more than 1/3 of our historical homeland, in which we have 500 ancient GC churches, monuments and monasteries, and the most important remnants of our 3,500 years long and old historiocultural heritage to be lost for ever? Are you suggesting that we, with our signatures and actions, gift to Turkey our very identity and existence as a society, just because it invaded and usurped our country, something which if we had the means and the power we would have gone to a war even tomorrow morning, in order to take it back because it belongs to us more than to anybody else?
If you are a GC, you must indeed be a very corrupted mind of an individual, with no morals and dignity, for you do not respect your very history, identity and dignity. You are a tired, demoralized and surrendered mind, if you think and speak in the way you do, and this is so shameful on your behalf! And what if in 20 years time, Turkey finds another such lame excuse and takes over the rest of Cyprus? Will we also gift it to them after 30 years, like you suggest we do now with the occupied northern part? Come on, tell us what you suggest!
Saying that a few brave GCs have applied requesting pure secrecy, they have accepted financial compensation and 1 has even got his property back. Time for people power me thinks, if GCs had half a brain they would all apply for their rights either to get them or expose this committee to the EU has being a non functioning local remedy.
