Here is our Euro:

as you can see it has both Greek and Turkish on it. Will TCs adopt it? Or they will continue using Turkish liras?

is that an "stavroz" around the guys neck?

I am sorry my dear Shah...that statue have nothing to do with religion...its an old statue from Cyprus prehistory...and to be more specific was found in a village in Pafo, Pomos, around 3000 before Jesus even born!!!

[LENA]

Oh I forgot...the necklace on the statues neck...its a human at the same shape of the statue shape. The necklace is human not a cross!!!

[Pyrpolizer]

haaaa..

A human within human. Good for a prehistoric karagozliki.
Lena mou do you know what the things on the legs are?

[shahmaran]

you are right my dear Lena, it does look like a man around his neck, i wonder what the Turkish name is for Pomos... and whats a karagozliki?

the whole this is a stavroz and an insult to us there in no way shape or form does it represent us. Should be something more neutral, would gcs accept it being a cresent and star?

That is not a cross but part of our ancient history. Read from this TC website to get informed about the period http://www.cypnet.co.uk/ncyprus/history/03.htm . Should we forget about our whole Cypriot history because there is some small Turkish minority that doesn't feel Cypriot and doesn't like our history? In Turkey there is Christian minority and they have the crescent in their flag! Why don't you complain about that?

This was your chance to show your represent all Cypriots but yet again you have failed and shown us who you really represent the GCs.

[Sotos]

How can something that is 5000 years old represent only the GCs? Christianity came just 2000 years ago! It represents Cypriots. But you do not identify with it because you are not Cypriot. You are a Turkish settler that doesn't identify with our history!

[Pyrpolizer]

Let's admit it guys.
This thing is ugly and actually tells Europe the best we the Cypriots can present are our pre-historic "ape like" sculptures.
Secondly the small "cross looking" necklace and the "cross looking" sculpture are provocative to the TCs. No excuses, no buts, no ifs.

And third prepeare yourselves in case of a solution to pay a few million out of your pocket for a new Cypriot Euro coin, as most certainly the TCs will not accept it.

I do not identify myself with the bible either does that make me any less of a human. If your leaders wanted to produce a coin which represented Cypriots they could have chosen something more netural, but alas they have taken another step towards maintaining their alienating stance.
