The child is obviously a True Cypriot....
Not a GC or a TC but the real McCoy..
What is stopping the ROC simply adding Cypriot to the available options???....
This would solve Kafenes' problem as well....

I am asking this in all ignorance of the legalities of the situation...So please respond only if you know the legal impediment to adding Cypriot to the form.....

If the govt goes ahead and does that then they would be hounded by people like the Zan's and VP's of this place of trying to assimilate the TC's by osmosis. Yet more paranoia.

Well...I think instead of "other" they could have the "Cypriot " option...
People can choose themselves what they want to call themselves....It is disgraceful that Kafenes should have to put up with being called "Other" in his own country...
I am sure Zan can cope with this,he is not crazy...

She is Greek Cypriot and she married a Turkish Cypriot. They live in the RoC. A thousand problems needed to be overcome, some real, most imaginary. Now they have a huge problem.

The lady gave birth to a lovely son. Red tape has it that the boy needs top be "enrolled" as a citizen but Cypriot alone will not do. He needs to be written as a Greek Cypriot or a Turkish Cypriot. These are the only two options.

Bananiot, don't tell that to the GCs! Go and tell that to your Turkish /TC /British friends, for it is them that have insisted in the adoption of this "idea" in Cyprus, since 1960, and it is them that keep insisting that we should retain it in perpetuity, as an integral part of any solution, so that their (Turkish) claim that they constitute a "separate people," is safeguarded!

thank-you Mr. K.!

yes...i come from a "mixed" village. that was a label placed on us by interlocutors. in my village we were Great Cooperators, and self-sustaining, beside having a highly socialised society. anyone who can remember will tell you the same, we were not "Greeks" or "Turks" until this distinction was exploited by people for their own interest, bringing to them an exclusivity from which we were plundered for our Heritance.

Where was the child born..........In the North or in the South.......Could this not be the decider?

There's no North-South distinction which decides on Nationality!

Bananiot says they live in the Republic of Cyprus, so I guess the baby was born in the free areas .... hence he is Cypriot (if the father is truly TC and not some settler pretender!).

As far as I remember under the constitution the baby would take after the father of the child. Meaning the Baby should be classified as a TC by law. But then again all the GC ID cards I have seen all have "Cypriot" as nationality.

There is a very simple solution. The baby will be Genitsaros in Ethnicity.
The propaganta about a Cyprus Ethnicity has no end.

The law in our area, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, even Mongolia!!!says clearly that the childs taking initially the Nationality/Etnicity of their FATHERS!!!!!All others are propaganta of some joutnalists taking under the table money from the famous USA Funds.!!!

Come on,, we can not change a country's consitution because two persons decide to have 10mnts in TV.How many marrieges you know between Greeks and Turks in Cyprus?

[repulsewarrior]

you missed the point.

of course the child is Cypriot. but, being bicommunal, as a person rather than an individual, the services which will be offered to him/her, will they be in one of the two origins we profess to be committed to...

is this the choice?
