Another article that totally ignores what happened between 63 and 74 when the GC’s illegally kicked the TC’s out of the power sharing government and renewed their campaign to drive them from the island. Is this from bias or total ignorance?

Let us hope that if Cyprus is indeed in the world spotlight the truth will eventually come out.

Troodo..Unfortunately in situations such as this,the TRUTH will be manipulated to validate the most profitable outcome..

Quotation from the 2nd article:



"That communal problem originated in 1570, when the Ottoman Empire conquered the island and its almost entirely Greek-speaking Orthodox Christian population."



And what about before 1570. Was it always Greek 'owned' until the Ottoman's moved in?

Hi Pippie,



Depends on how far you want to go back,perhapps the Paleothic period (stone age) when dwarf elephants and pygmy hippos roamed freely,

Whao! Whoa! buddyboy!



Are you saying that all you have to do is raid a country (lets call it a Sovrieign state,) a dose of rape and



pillage kill off a few of the males, impregnate the females, and call it yours.





Its a bit more complex than that. Ever heard of Internationally accepted reparations? Compensation, and



Peace treaties.......EVER HEARD OF FORGIVENESS?



This my friend is serious. So much hurt, and so much to forgive.(on both sides)



Are the Cypriots up to it. In my Opinion Yes! It will take statesmen of International calibre, but it is within the



grasp of The Cypriot People. It is nothing to do with the Turks or the Greeks. IT IS CYPRIOT!



The UNHCR are 100% behind you. They seek a better world for us all. Now is the time for Cypriot people



to stride the world stage. It is in your hands !Forgive. TRY to forget, and try to build a better world for your



children.



I fear this may be your last opportunity. Oh I almost forgot. Th

Dutch Crusader,



OK now? Small minded backbiting will never make you the man you hope to be.



You really put your clog into it this time!
