I think you mean, "Cypriots remember to be Christians" otherwise your caption, Cap, is misplaced.

Why?

I see two men of different religions embracing each other with mutual understanding.

This is people being people.

People being people (first) is fine. But that's not what the thread title and contents suggest.

That's because being Cypriot is an anathema to you.

You would prefer Cypriots remember to be Greeks but certainly not Cypriot which is why you hide behind the Christian thing.

It's all well and good but some Cypriots will remember to be Turkish too, if that is what you want!

Happy Easter to you on yours.

Sorry GiG, I'm afraid this is, to me and my other half, a wonderful sight. Regardless of faith or ethnic background, mutual respect on a holy day can only be a massive step.

It takes very great and humble people to change the world, more of this should happen in Cyprus.
I've been following this story in a few places, and I find it deeply moving, but then I'm fairly compassionate to those who make an effort to live together instead of against each other.

Nice sermon. But, not necessary - and it doesn't follow the thread. The title refers specifically to being Cypriot.

Your pedant has failed on this occasion.

CYPRIOTS remember to be CYPRIOTS.

In other words, not Turkish Cypriot, not Greek Cypriot, not Greek, not Turk.

Mutually Cypriot. As it should be. The title is fine.
