Do you hate Greece?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Do you hate Greece?

Postby Venizelist » Wed Mar 07, 2007 4:20 am

Hi. I am a Greek from Greece and from what i'm reading from these forums so far, many Greek Cypriots here claim they have nothing to do with Greece and some even hate Greece. If a thread like this has already been made then I am sorry but I was just wondering... Do you Greek Cypriots hate Greece?

Although I haven't travelled to every corner of Greece I've been to a fair few places and found that some Greeks think of Cypriots as Gypsies and not true Greeks -- now in Athens I found that the majority of Greeks despise Cypriots and make it very plain that they are not really welcome.

This and one or two other reasons is why I could never understand the Cypriots wish of a union with Greece.

Really? When I went to Greece I never got that feeling...but I guess I was lucky that I didn't meet anyone that felt that way...

Of course I'm proud of my Greek Heritage, just as much as I am proud of my Cypriot heritage...I am of course a Cypriot first and foremost, but also Greek, and as I said I'm very proud of that! :)

And of course I don't hate Greece, I visited recently and thought that it was a beautiful country, and we met many nice people, who treated us as though we'd been friends for years...there was a certain familiarity I felt when I went, the same familiarity I felt when I visited the North of Cyprus and met many Turkish Cypriots...(Who also treated us as though we were old friends...)

If Greek Junta didnt come to Cyprus at 1974(ENOSIS) now GCs will not be in this situation. They could even rule the whole island without TCs because i m sure untill now only few TCs could be left because of the way of RoC control.

GREECE DONE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE BY ATTACKING CYPRUS 1974
AND I M SURE MANY GC FEEL INSIDE VERY BAD ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THEY PAID A HEAVY PENALTY FOR IT !!!!
BEING HONEST TCs might like GREECE but GCs dont think so.
