I see the group that has been trying to destroy VP has now turned their guns on me. How I would love to be a fly on the PM wall.
The fighting that was going on at the time......would you say that as the TCs had no idea what was in store and where all this fighting was heading, that the safest place and the easiest way to defend your selves would be to group. What about the houses of the TCs that were burnt to the ground and people relatives led away and killed. What would you do if your village was taken and the men secreted away to a school and machine-gunned down? What would you do if your daughter was put into the equivalent of a concentration camp and nearly died because of malnutrition and disease? What would you do if you heard all these things happening to your fellow TCs and you could hear bullets and bombs going off in the distance? Of course....How silly of me......You would bend over backwards and kiss your Cypriot arse and know that the great GC public were gathering to help you. What would you do when you heard the president of your so-called country pleading with the rest of the world for help? Put on your Cypriot bulletproof vest and sit tight?
When we can get rid of so called Cypriots like you that only know how to acknowledge and then dismiss these FACTS then and only then will this idealist’s dream come to fruition. Until then I suggest you keep to selling kitchenware and leave the factual events to those that can actually handle them.
You just don't get it Zan do you, the events you refer to were a consequence of attitudes formed resulting from centuries of abuse from Turkey towards everything Greek. I'm not trying to justify the events of the 60s but you cannot ignore what happened before. That said, you should stop playing the poor little victim and accept that both sides are equally to blame for the Cyprus Problem and look to the future. The Cyprus Problem will never be solved if both sides keep digging up the past, we see it here on this forum all the time, in fact you have just done it, accusation followed by counter accusation, both sides always trying to score points.
Accept mutual responsibilityfor the current situation and move on

A swift kick in the balls is a good cure for anything. That chap in "My big fat Greek wedding" was wrong it is not windowlene but a more direct action that is the cure all. Even Kifeas has shown more compassion than you towards VPs leaving and that is saying something. If he were to stop shouting and swearing at everyone like you do when he is challenged he would actually get his point across. As for you, you have no point. My dad used to beat my elder brother with a dried up donkeys dick. He is so stubborn he cannot even stay in a room by himself without wanting to explode. He is a TRUE Cypriot just like you. A gaba kafali. He says things that he does not understand and then blames others for it. Well let me tell you that the old Cyprus is dead. Long live the new Cyprus and if they can get people like you to just get out of the way and let them get on with it then there is some hope.
JUST HOW BACKWARD we are is indicated yet again by our Turkish Cypriot compatriots. This week sees the launch of the ‘first’ festival of its kind celebrating ‘Northern Cyprus’. ‘North Cyprus Fest’ is definitely the first high profile event of this nature although it is not the first event to highlight Cypriots in the UK – these date back to a couple of Camden Cypriot Festivals – which were wrongly attacked in the early 90s by various Greek Cypriot nationalists fuelled by their common hatred of anything that brought Cypriots together. The fact that there is no Cypriot Festival in London that represents all of Cyprus is a failing on the part of everyone, particularly successive governments in Cyprus who are more content with living in the past than building a common future. While our present political leadership is bathing itself in the possible glories of ‘oil’ and the recent military pact with France they are lagging seriously behind in building positive images of Cyprus in cultural ways beyond the island. And before anyone points to various mono-cultural exhibitions occurring in Brussels or London, when I say positive images I mean collaboration as a tool against division. The longer we ignore the other side (and vice versa) the more likely it is that in a few years time ‘North Cyprus Fest’ will become the sole representation of Cyprus on a cultural level in London, and it will probably be happening at the Queen Elizabeth Hall by then. The hate game has been going on for way too long. The point is we are doing nothing to raise the cultural profile of Cyprus in a dynamic unified manner, and that is where the real fault lies. No matter how many times the political representatives meet at Ledra Palace, no matter how long Papadopoulos and Talat carry on procrastinating about a possible meeting, the issue is simply what are they all doing in a practical way to build a united Cyprus…

Centuries of abuse from Turkey? funny that, i thought Turkey was merely around 80 years old, if you mean the times when Greeks were just another bitch under the Ottoman rule, then you are nothing special, it wasn't just about "everything Greek", but we are not the people you should be talking to, i think there are still members of the Ottoman family living about in Turkey and Europe, try writing them a letter of complaint about the past, meanwhile if you are going to advise people to stop digging the past, i presume you should be the first one to NOT do it, don't you think?

Another bigot who does not get it, you may have changed your name 80 years ago but as far as the victims of the Ottomans are concerned you are the same people.
