You are my enemy in terms of your ideology and way of thinking and not someone I want to harm. But again how stupid of me to not have thought that you will once again twist things and present them as it suits your cause. It is views like these (from both sides) that have destroyed our country...and all these to the benefit of motherland Turkey and co.
Quoting what happend is not promoting hatred on its own, its the spin and twist that goes with it that is propaganda. I am sure that if a TC kid decides to beat a GC kid because they argued about who is going to play a game first, people with the same agenda as you will jump again and say "see what happens when we mix? better to stay apart!"
In the past nationalist from both sides played this game - TMT even went as far as bombing a TC shop (property?) in order to blame the other side and spread propaganda that led to intercommunal fights in nicosia - as a result the green line split my home town in two sectors - and don't ask me for independent sources this time - all you have to do is search for Denktash's admittance of the insidence.
As for Tpap he is an elected president and what makes you so sure that pressure is not applied to him - there is pressure and quite a lot to get back to negotiations, this is provided that Talat and Turkey agree. But I do not think that any GC will ever apply pressure to Tpap to recognise trnc and to allow direct flights.
I will ignore your comment about utopianists...
Look askimwos you appear to be a level headed individual and I would like to express to you that my views are not that far from the average TC. As you know when we meet face to face people from both sides are very polite and cordial they very rarely disclose their true feelings or ideals for fear of hurting or upseting the other side. This forum allows us the opportunity to bring down those barriers and express our true thoughts, concerns and fears. If I quote facts as I see them and these make you feel uncomfortable then rather than attacking me surely you should question what it is you are doing that has this impact on the other side or alternatively try to clarify the situation without using degrading and belittling rhetoric.
Also for the record and your information the TCs view Papadop as you view Denktas, so any solution with him in the equation would be a non starter, once you get rid of him and elect someone who can even stomach sitting opposite a TC leader is the day we move forward. Otherwise he is taking you all on merry ride to nowhere which you will have see sooner or later.
