i think TCs will use anything that they can get their hands on, i remember when i was younger in Lefke we had Peso equivelant of all the prices in the shops, for the Argentinian UN soldiers that lived around there..

you said earlier that you dont care because you are never going to use it because its not your coins...so...now you use everything?? So why all this discussion about the symbols. You dont care about the other coins right?? You dont argue about that...do you?

Lena mou the partitionists obviously DON'T CARE.

Forget about them. However the TC NON PARTITIONISTS do care, and we should show respect to THEM.

EU is a chrisitan club....merkel said that..not me

THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

Dear Sirs,

THE PROPOSED EURO COINS OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS

I am a Greek Cypriot citizen, and would like to inform you that I strongly reject the images proposed by the Republic of Cyprus for the 1 and 2 Euro coins. The reason is because the idols show an image of a human which on first glance seems to wear a necklace with a Christian Cross. This is a direct provocation to the muslim Turkish Cypriot citizens of the Republic, a violation of their rights under the constitution, and disrespect towards their relegion.

The images are shown here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypriot_euro_coins

Notice the Republic of Cyprus avoids to show these images in their official Web Site here:
http://www.euro.cy/euro/euro.nsf/dmlcoi ... enDocument
(It only shows the back sides- I wonder why?)

I believe the European Cental Bank should reject those 2 proposed images as been provocative and non neutral.

Thanking you for your consideration I remain,

I hope that you are jocking, arent u? Pomos is a is a prehistoric sculpture, the cross is a pagan symbol

No I am not joking AT ALL. I even gave the E-mail address previously for everybody to use it if he likes.

Listen European, I want tre-unification of MY COUNTRY I demand respect for me, the same way I DEMAND RESPECT for others. These others in this case are the TCs.

And i don't care what kind of symbol that is as long as I need a microscope to see it. With bare eye it is A Christian Cross, and I am not going to send missionaries all over the world to explain every person who sees it that "no it is not a cross, it is something else"

its dated from 3000BC!!!! i think we're getting a little too pc here.

I doubt if one person in a million will recognize it as anything to do with Cyprus. Aphrodite I could understand but not this, which I had never heard of before this thread.

Because Shahmaran didn’t know about that it doesn’t mean that nobody does. I was shocked to be honest how well known is Cyprus especially in UK!! Not only where it is in the map and Tourist stuff but also history etc. Ok lets say that that statue was a bad choice because nobody knows about that…and its not about who knows or not but it’s a matter of getting to know with us, with our history etc. You suggested Aphrodite…why Aphrodite is related that much with Cyprus and not with Milo-Greece? Is Aphrodite acceptable by the TCs? Its not a Greek ancient goddess which have nothing to do with their history and religion? Whatever you come up with they will find an argument!

I don’t disagree with you Pyro mou…but how are we going to show them that we respect them? Ok let’s say that the 5000 years old ancient statue might mislead to religion preference. Ok do you really believe that they are going to accept so easy anything else?

[pitsilos]

actually its unfair to mention the word "they"Lena.

what we see is the word of the vips, plural, and thats all. I am sure there are tcs that they are proud of the cyprus history. i advice you actually use the name you are reffering to, in this case, vips, plural, rather than "they"

pyro, i see where you are coming from, but really that is a part of the cyprus history, and really noone has the right to take that away from you, by insting a 3000 year old figurine is offensive.

it seems, to some people in this forum, and i am not pointing fingers here, vips, plural, the history of cyprus either started in the 1550's or in 1960.
