After all there is not an educated person in the world, who does not accept that Cypriot and Greek history, have many converging points and population exchanges over thousands of years.
Let's not rush to deny our Greek history just because the Turks tell us it ain't necessarily so!
So what makes you think that just because there were "population exchanges over thousands of years" the Greeks have the right to strip the Cypriots of their unique identity that spans 10,000 years? A history OLDER that that of the Greeks or the Turks?
I do not advocate stripping Cypriot history and would argue with any Greek that Cypriot history is older and equally rich in its contribution to Western Civilisation.
What I do not like is the denial of any shared history just because the Turks want to weaken us by stripping-away some Cypriot history ... the bits associated with Greeks.
It is when they foolishly associate themselves with others that they do a fine job of stripping themselves of their true inheritance!
