It would seem from this that GC dislike TC and they know it where as TC dislike GC but do not know it

I think, it's time for Turkish Cypriots to start visiting mosques and get some hatred

[Piratis]

The results indicate that while Greek Cypriots were consistent in their views on the other community in both the explicit and implicit tests, Turkish Cypriots, although they claimed a greater “liking” for Greek Cypriots during explicit questioning, revealed subconscious negative feelings towards Greek Cypriots that they did not appear to be aware of, probably a result of built-up negative associations over many years.

Maybe the title should be the the TCs said that they liked GCs more...

In any case, I think it is natural for a GC to have more negative feelings when the TCs are the ones who are illegally occupying his home and property today.

More bla bla blas from Piratis...

I see you didnt mention the part of the report where it says that the level in prejudism has has fallen between the two communities.

The survey is interesting, but unfortunately the sample is not representative - it is only young people 17 to 22.

In fact, from the results now coming out of the new bicommunal survey, I would say that the picture is totally different with the older people - in which age group the GCs are more affectionate to TCs than the other way round.

Also, on the whole, the GCs are more willing to accept TCs as their neighbors, and consider re-unification with the TCs a stronger motive for a solution, than the TCs do.

I'll try and post some charts later, if I have time.

Mr Lordos,

This IS what I believe the real problem is and will be.

As individuals, within our respective societies, we can rant and rave and post inflamatory comments, some with sincere belief and others in error.

Howver, I am not confidant about our ability to bring about a solution to the CYPROB, HOWEVER WE MAY VIEW IT.

I belive a "solution " will be agreed by the politicians and businessmen and, US, UN, EU, TR, GR et al. Whatever it is it will be unfair and ordinary people will suffer. It will cause pain and anguish to all.

But what will be will be.

The real problem as I see it is how to unite as brothers to build a stronger society AFTER the "solution".

Our children and youngster are NOT receiving the right messages from their elders, nor the media, nor their priests nor their politicians.

We need to teach the children. NOW. They are the future.

I think this is the best words I ever see.
Real solution will come with people.
Not with agreements.

This might be of some interest?

Erol,

When I was a teenager we met a young TC at the beach. He wanted to avoid us. My mother talked to him in English.He said he was a student at Lycee. Yet he always wanted to go and would hardly speak to us. He did not feel comfortable.He finally said goodbye and left.
That incident was printed in my mind. I could not understand why he avoided us.
Now AFTER so many years I understand.
I hope you can understand the findings of the survey too, and the relation of my story to that.
