[PEACE]

As you know Ay. Mamas church in Morphou was bombed ! I'm condemning this terrorist attack.I think the ones who are responsible from the attack are not human but they can be creatures that have no human feeling.

Denktas and his fanatic group don't approve the religional ceremony in Ay. Mamas church.After Denktas's fanatic declaration bombing event happened.

Interesting part is bombs are not sold in markets! We know who has bomb and guns etc. in North Cyprus.So we know who is responsible from the attack but we can't say the name cos we haven't got any proof.


Please don't fall into this trap and be patient. This is a trap to create a conflict between Turkish and Greek Cypriots.

I wish during Ay. Mamas ceremony there won't be any unusual event !

I would like to add my voice to the above. It should serve to make us realise what is at stake and what we have to do to overcome those who wish to perpetuate division.

I am not a religious person and I did not intend to go to Morphou on Wednesday. However, after the attack and the efforts of our government to avert the GC´s from attending, I and the rest of my family and friends will be there. I feel the bombing has worked like a booberang and thousands of peace loving people will be in Morphou.

[Turker]

I condemn the attack. They can not even be creatures because creatures have feelings unlike them.

They don't have a right to breath in our air of freedom and life.

I also agree with the above posts and give thanks to the Turkish Cypriots for helping to bridge the gap between the communities, it's just a pity that for some people peace isn't good enough.

The speach by Neophytos at Ayios Mamas on Wednesday night should be read by all peace-loving Cypriots. It is an enlightened speach delivered by a high priest who has always kept distance from his colleques who preach hatred and resentment. Neophytos is a priest who is following the examples of the Ecoumenical Patriarch Bartholomiou and the Albanian one (I forget his name). I would vote for him to become the next Archbishop of Cyprus but at the moment it seems like a one horse race with multi millionnaire Nikiforos of Kykkos leading the race.

About 2 thousand GC's participated in the service on Wednesday, despite the scaremongering of our government to keep the people away. Talat was there too and he gave a lesson of political shrewdness (by his appearance in the church yard) to everyone. He was loudly applauded by many GC's, by the way.

He was applauded by many idiots and traitors you mean.

Here is what Talat said about the event:

TURKISH Cypriot ‘prime minister’ says he believes allowing a Greek Orthodox liturgy to take place at the Ayios Mammas church in Morph this week has done more for the Turkish Cypriot cause than any high-cost promotion campaign could even have done.

“It shows the world that the Turkish Cypriots are tolerant, democratic and sensible. It also shows that those who say north Cyprus is occupied are wrong,”

Denctash said about the event:

that those Turkish Cypriots not willing to defend their ‘state’ “were prepared to become slaves to Greeks.”

Do you still argue that the government was wrong when they said that the occupation regime would use the event against us? Do you still argue that what you do is not treason (or at least stupid) and it doesn't support the partition of our country? Even your friend Talat says so! Give him another applause

The irony of the story is that after all this hard work that you do against our country, if something negative happens to our cause it will be Papadopoulos fault!

This is your first thread on this topic Piratis. I think its very dishonest of you to put into Talat's mouth words uttered by Denktash. May be you made a mistake, you should correct it. Before I address your points, what was your view on the liturgy? Did Neophytos commit a foul or did he do well?

[Piratis]

Ok, I corrected the second quote, it was a mistake and not intentional since I gave the address of the original article also.

This doesn't change anything though. It just shows that the aim of both Talat and Denctash is exactly the same with the only difference that Talat is more diplomatic and fits the image that the Erdogan government wants to project. They both have as aim the partition, and this is obvious from what they both said.

So, are you going to use the excuse of the second quote to avoid answering the question?

Before I address your points, what was your view on the liturgy? Did Neophytos commit a foul or did he do well?

I believe it was a foul, and is always a foul to pass to the occupied areas by showing an ID or any other document. I can understand the refugees to go see their homes, I can't judge them. But the rest that go there to eat, play at the casinos, or just for fun are totally unexcused. The same goes for politicians. No politician should go by showing an id, and this is more than a foul.

Now if the politicians were not there, and the applauses to Talat didn't happen, then I could excuse the deeply religious people to go. As we all know though many people that went there were not religious at all, so church for them could be very easily avoided because as we saw such events are not considered by Turkish Cypriots as something that brings friendship but as something that recognizes their illegal state. Talat said it clearly: "Greek Orthodox liturgy to take place at the Ayios Mammas church in Morph this week has done more for the Turkish Cypriot cause than any high-cost promotion campaign could even have done."
This is exactly what I was telling you for all this time but you didn't believe me.
