Cypriot flag couple feel abandoned by Anastasiades
http://cyprus-mail.com/2016/03/26/turkish-cypriot-flag-couple-feel-abandoned-by-anastasiades/
.
...there is no shame in having a mother-tongue, nor to recognise and respect the fact that for the most part, people are Grecophones, and that Turcophones, as Persons, have the same needs in sustaining a distinct identity (so too Maronites speaking Arabic), in Cyprus; we all speak English.
...a Cypriot identity, in my mind, welcomes diversity, the greater choices, and opportunities, that it brings. Cyprus is a cross-road to three Continents, Cypriots have excelled throughout their History as facilitators of exchange, let's not forget; indeed there is, The bicommunal Technical Committee on Education, started recently, tasked by Mr. Akinci, and Mr. Anastasiades, to find ways that the educational system can become more effective in transforming the fears which divide Cypriots, into identifiable enemies, if you will, like xenophobia, racism, 'ethnicism', extremism, and/or discrimination.
...it would be a good thing for a student to pick a "mother-tongue" from a list and learn it well; everyone in Cyprus should have the opportunity to learn English well, (and other languages,) as well. Beyond that, in my Cyprus, i would hope that our Institutions can accept the challenge that they themselves can continue to grow in aptitude, with a growing number of Official Languages.

...i appreciate the photographs, although it tears my heart apart, i would join you, but i too fear the consequences of my choice could be my life.
I hope that while you travel north, in the area illegally occupied by the Turkish Army, you remember, they are an enemy to all of us, Turkish and Greek alike, who are Cypriot, because they and the regime that goes with it are not here for the benefit of Cyprus, never mind the Cypriots.
...cher rudy, politics aside, buy Cypriot, find them they are not so hard to find, although they are few, don't go (don't buy) to (from) the xenos, make that effort, please.

The Official Erdogan the Clown Thread
http://www.cyprus-forum.com/cyprus40648-110.html#p833943
.
Erdogan is a survivor, if he can't get off at his intended station, he will take the train he calls Democracy further.
It would not surprise me that this man will unify Cyprus, and in the process unify Turkey.
...can you imagine the photograph; Cameron laughing, shocked actually, watching Tsipras, Erdogan, and Anastasiades, embracing with hugs and kisses, while Eide and Akinci stand beside each other, wise smiles i'd say, their hands clasped together in front of them, calmly and with the humility you will find great Statesmen display on such occasions. Freedom for Cyprus, at last.
He has the capacity to make a "New Turkey", but his intentions must change if it is the world from which he seeks esteem.
...a good clown provides us with an insight into ourselves; I'm still rooting for Providence which works in ways that are (to me) so strange.

...we can wait for ISIS or DAESH to save us with something so horrible it galvanises the world, so ready to fight, that they join against what is a real menace, the enmity which has driven us apart. Indeed, it is possible for Russia, USA, China, and a whole host of countries, to be on the same side.
...in my mind Nobility exists. Bombmaking is Nobility, without Grace; Bombmaking is not productive thinking: Bombmaking is a Sin, Lest we Forget.

...what is a "Greek"? Interesting question, big difference between Greek, and "Greek", it seems.
...if of Greek is "Greek", it naturally follows that "Greeks" come from Greeks. Add to it modern Greece, it is easy to get your "Greeks", and your Greeks, confused.

Re: Why did the TMT murder Turkish Cypriots?

...i want to educate, and i want to communicate the observations i have made that are useful. I remember that the audience is the many who do not respond, but read. If there is any effect on the readership, i feel that they deserve the three sides to the story, we are not "Greeks" and "Turks", in this case, because the Cyprus Problem is framed wrongly. Cypriots lose, Cypriots are denied their voice. It is not possible to defend "one" side, against the other "side", Cypriots died as a result of this Ignorance, and it should be obvious to the "Greeks" and the "Turks" that despite their best efforts after all this time, Cypriots still exist.
For it to have "two sides", as in a reasoned debate, the "Greeks", the Turks", the "Maronites", the "Armenians", the "Latins", (and dare i say it, the "English") which have the same needs as Persons, and as a set, the Cypriot Constituencies, they would be equal to the Federal Government, 'bicommunally' speaking (, and by the intention of the Republic's Constitution). This is my opinion.
I believe in Cyprus, and i know that it is a wonderful opportunity for Cypriots to demonstrate the same kind of courage toward the betterment of all Mankind.

Turkey police thwarted against ISIL

.
.
...an interesting perspective, one which all Citizens of Turkey should consider, because there will be a post-Erdogan era.
What with the elections that will likely come soon, my fear is that he will take advantage of the fact that the other political parties are likely exhausted, financially speaking, and those shoe boxes gone missing so to speak, may be emptied in the coming elections somehow.
What with the fatigue Turkish electors have gone through, my fear is that they will take the "safe" bet, for their security, and the economy, seemingly at risk without the guidance of a man more experienced. But Turkey needs new thinking, as does Turkey's friends and neighbours, Erdogan, it seems, only represents "Turks".
