you don't know Zan so don't quote things you don't understand.

Cybc2 has a show everyday with TC singers/dancers and the like. I wouldn't expect you to know from the UK but I'd also expect you to find out from us locals first what is going on in the island before you assume thngs,

Where in any of the national teams are there any TCs. The simple reason that there are singers is that they have the potential to make someone money. I have always said that if we left this mess to the buisnesses it would get sorted in days.

unfortunately due to our exposure with international football i wouldn't think any tc players would be good enough to get in the national team right now. That doesn't mean there haven't been tc players that played for gc teams such as Nea Salamina who had 2 players but they got threatened by the then denktash govt to pack it in.

I think we're also sending a tc wrestler to the next olympics. Listen if there's anyone good enough then its not going to be the GC's stopping them from playing with the national teams but the unwillingness to play under the national team of the TC's.

Agree to a point. That is what I was trying to get you to say. We have a catch22 situation so we can only promote our culture, whether it is different or not, our selves.

actually i think what you were saying is

"Turkish cypriot dancers, painters, writers, poets and speakers. Sports persons, photographers, etc etc. Ones that are not allowed to shine in the RoC."
you went into "I blame the ROC for my bad hair day" mode.

Why not just call it a Turkish Cypriot festival??

So is this a festival to promote a pseudo state in the north or promote Turkish Cypriot culture.

Zan, your pettyness and desperation for blaming the RoC of being anti-Turkish Cypriot hit an all time low (or should it be high) in this post.

You can talk! You love to sit there and try to lay all the blame on TCs while desperately trying to squirm your way out of anything done by the GCs.

You know, so many people act naively when it suits them. Snake can you not just read between the lines sometimes in conjunction with the little you know about the Cyprob and see that both sides have to act in certain ways for a reason. How many times have the Greeks blocked anything that the TCs have done to promote the TRNC in the UK. We could not even put up a flag in a football arena without a war breaking out. You guys are trying to strangle us out of existence. Now imagine in your mind that we have a little bit of hutspa (?) in that we will not lay down and die as you would like. We find that we can be resourceful and cunning and we hold an event with the words North Cyprus because we cannot say the TRNC. Is it all becoming clearer now or did you already know this and that is what is upsetting you. Has the fact that you have been taught that all TCs are stupid being blown out of the water and you are going to explode with confusion.



DT

Yes I did exactly as you have stated because I took offence to your "What culture" comment. I think know you went into how can I piss off Zan and make my point about the " TRNC does not exist". Quits?
