Are these the words of a Cypriot wanting to live in peace and harmony?

For clarification purposes, I have identified some common traits which I think are strongly suggestive of someone holding views which are destructive to Cyprus and hopes for re-unification ...



1. Using nomenclature such as 'North Cyprus' or 'South Cyprus' (plus variations intent on creating a myth of two countries).



2. Ignoring/preventing the right of administration of the RoC Government's laws and policies over the whole island.



3. Referring to chiefs of the TC leadership as "President" or "Prime Minister".



4. Describing EOKA as a 'terrorist' organisation.



Of course, there are a few more ....



Let's identify these destructive elements and eliminate them, towards gaining freedom, peace and unity ....

... I'm willing!



*** Expressions of negative emotions, justified by experience, are a consequence and not a cause of the present problems (which is Turkey) and would be eliminated when the right solution is implemented.

It seems to me that the majority of TCs & GCs do not actually want reunification. Reunification seems to mean different things to TCs & GCs in any case. Even between TCs there is a difference in understanding of what it means.



At best any Cypriot either Greek or Turkish wants some "settlement" to the Cyprus Problem for his/her own personal Economic gain, but not for any global good. At worst they want it as they are forced in to it by UN/EU/USA.



As David Hannay (ex UK Special Representative for Cyprus) once said, both sides see it as a "Zero Sum Game". If TC wins then GC loses, and vice-versa. They can see no common win-win.
