Can anyone let me know what is written on Pendadaktylos

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

i have never seen such a writing nor a quote anywhere, and as funny as it is i wouldnt want to see it, however the quote from Ataturk is valid for all ethnicities who live in Turkey and are proud of their country and can openly express it, unlike Kurds...


Must be a very good statement in Turkey. Whats it doing in Cyprus?

to be honest i dislike these ugly mountain decorations as much as you guys do, i have one staring right at me, which i see every time i look out of my window, literrally 100 meters away, and its been put there by the Turkish army who also occupies half of my back garden (literrally), recently they have added another one, but unfortunately my grandma loves it and she loves the fact that the army is there and doesn't like me complain about it, what can you do hey, cant argue with the elderly.... :roll:

come to think of it i truly hate the propaganda material the RoC has put up in Nicosia just as much, specially that stupid viewing post...

Hi Shah the GCs claimed that I was the only TC living in the TRNC so not a true reflection of the real TCs, you are here in Lefke arent you? so that blows that rubbish out of the water :wink:

you have to go IN the viewing post to see it. Its not the size of Zanzibar like the mountain decorations.

Anyway...what a joy to be a Turk indeed.

to move forward i think we have to agree, at the same time all the shit must come down at the same time as to not give the impression one is giving more than the others.

this is what pisses me off the most. the un appoints commitees and meetings but some times they forget the simpest of things could have the greatest impact. especially for the young generation.

I'm not bothered about the aesthetic properties of the post but rather the whole idea, which by design, is clearly aimed to capture the millions of tourists who visit the RoC and can go back with their naive little minds filled with GC propagandas...
