ALERT: Making public admissions and/or apologies may hurt you…

As much as you may have good intentions to make victims of past political events feel better by publicly expressing admissions of blame and/or apologies on behalf of past perpetrators, I STRONGLY URGE all my compatriots to please refrain from doing so because unfortunately you concurrently arm the enemies of Cyprus; those that aim to compromise the sovereignty of your country, with valuable propaganda material that can and may be used against your country to attain exactly the opposite of what you aim with such expressions.

Regards, GR.

I know what you're saying GR, because even today, some US Presidents are afraid to say "we did wrong during slavery", or "killing of most Native Americans" few hundred years ago was wrong. The Japanese do not want to admit to kidnapping 200,000 Korean women during the WWII and used as "sex slaves" for the Japanese troops. They are instead labeled as "Comfort Girls" as if they were volunteering Prostitutes. Just to who's "comfort" were they there for.??

We, in Cyprus do not admit to our faults either, with our head high to accept our shame. Instead we always point the finger to the other side. Aside from very few, who accepts of wrong doings of their own side, the rest are bunch of chicken shits. They wait for the other side to admit wrong doings first, so that they can jump on the "band wagon" to place blame, instead of admitting their shame, so in effect, neither side wants to go first, because they know what is waiting for them.

I agree with my friend Cypezokyli that we should accept our faults. The question is, who wants to go first. I believe all wrong doings should be written down by both sides, turned over to a trusted country, much like Switzerland to study all the admissions, and if anything is missing, it should be added from credible sources, such as the UN or Human Rights groups, should add all information unilaterally to each sides reports, then made public at the same time of both sides report. Perhaps this way, we can all hold our heads in shame at the same time.

Lets call it the "Day of Shame and Day of Moving Forward" event. This will for once and for all, will leave the past behind, once everything is now in the open. No more "hidden skeletons" to haunt us. No more mistrust. No more excuses. No more lame excuses. And no more lame, lame excuses.

HYPOCRITES RAUSEN !!!

You made my day Karma!
That was funny in all the meanings of the word used - (what I took to be a mis-spelling please correct me if I am wrong)
1. risen
2. rosen (as turn to pink)
3. rasen (a long, loose, black gown with wide sleeves, worn by the clergy in Greek Orthodox Church)
4. rusen (detour)

When used in conjunction with the first word they all have a valid meaning!

Please no more censorship. Lets face the truth, purge our consciosness and go forth and learn to deal with it. If you have to fear to tell the truth that is proof that you live in a fascist society. I hope that is not the case.

for what its worth i disagree as well. I have and will continue to acknowledge the mistakes made by GC's in the past present and future.

If somone is willling to take that as proof of inoccense of the other side then its their own narrow minded, opportunistic, wasn't breast fed as a child mental imbalances that they have to deal with.
