i AM listening to the people who experienced it pitsilos, hence why im here trying to compare the stories and pointing out the inconsistencies, and by the way, i have TONNES of ppl to ask to, and i do not only mean childhood reminiscences but plenty of people who were old enough to be fighting during those times and are still very well alive to tell the stories... and to be honest, when asked, no one is so keen on bypassing the state they were in (like piratis) prior to the invasion...i cant help but feel that these so called "hardships" were not very comparable between the 2 groups..

look shahmaran, i just gave you my account and thats that, you can believe whatever you want.

I lived one street away from the tcs, and one street awy from the gypsies in limassol.

further more there was a reason as to why we left cyprus.

I also told you the gcs and tcs together were building bomb shelters together during 63, and there was no animosity, i just haven't experience what you have been told.

one thing was for sure it was tough to make ends meet

anyway i am off to bed

take care

Shahmaran, there is a big difference between the murder of Greek Cypriot civilians and the murder of TC police officers who were working under British colonial rule - and dont give me this crap that a murder is a murder. In a perfect and simple world yes - but these Turkish Cypriot policemen were working towards partition of the island and in effect working towards keeping Cypriots under foreign rule.

You also quoted a pro-British Empire website - these superiority complex morons are the type of people who would call Nelson Mandela a terrorist because he was fighting for the freedom of Black people in South Africa.

where did i quote a website? we are talking about the the fact that people are claming the days before 74 to be pretty "normal" and appearantly, given some time it would all have been "fine"...

Free Cyprus - I dont see how you can accuse London Greek Radio of dividing the Cypriot community. They broadcast the news in Turkish also and even advertise some Turkish businesses.

Im not going to renounce my ethnicity of being Greek because some people are so small minded that they think I cant accept being a Greek and a Cypriot also - as well as accepting both those factors and being able to live in peice with Turkish Cypriots in a single democratic - one man one vote - state. The only Turkish Cypriots I have trouble with are the ones who want to continually step upon Greek Cypriot human rights and cannot respect the fact I should be allowed to live in peace anywhere in my homeland. I also have problems with Greek Cypriots who cannot let Turkish Cypriots do the same...but in truth, I havent seen many of those Greek Cypriots on this website or when I have been in Cyprus. Infact, even the traditonally right of centre, APOEL supporting Greek Cypriots tell me the same thing, that they dont have trouble with Turkish Cypriots if they want all Cypriots to have the same and equal rights - infact the trouble they have is with the Turkish military and colonial presence on the island.

I suppose im lucky, being brought up in a large Cypriot community in London has shown me that the Cypriot community can live together. The main problem I see right now - and this is not shifting the blame for the sake of it - is that there is a huge nationalistic problem with Turkish Cypriots who have a blind allegiance with the Turkish government and are starting to think like the 'Deep State' in Turkey.
