"not perfect" did you say?!

i asked you to elaborate, i didn't ask you to repeat your comments on what "normal" is, so if you don't mind? i would like to hear your side of the story on how life was before Turkey ever so barbarically ruined it for all of us...

And what did you expect? That a country just being liberated from colonialists, and after an intercommunal conflict, everything would be perfect for any side from one day to the next?
What is for sure is that there was no bloodshed, people were living in their homes, going to work etc. In political terms the leaders of the two sides were negotiating to find solutions to the constitution that was forced on us by the British.

Now of course for some greedy TCs, why being an 18% minority in a country, when you can just use mama Turkey to take 37% of the island just for yourself? The second option sounds much better to any unethical TC, thats for sure.

Not really answering the question was life better for the GCs than the TCs? was there discrimination and persecution?

i first learned to swear in turkish way before greek

and i still remember some of these swear words today, i even know how to count to 10, and we talking about 40 years ago when we left cyprus

i would say we were integrating quite well. we just needed a generation and everything would have been ok.

Is it a sort of new trend?? being just "Cypriot" where were these people in 1963, it appears to be just to little to late.....you can not build a Cypriot people when we do not feel part of the same country.

So are you saying the enosis dream of the GCs had nothing to do with it?
