...and there is a Greek connection; if there is Universal Truth, if Love is an infinite power and a gift to us as Human beings, aren't these the notions that make us "Greek"?

indeed, a question for Gig, how does this square with "Greek", the GD, if "Greek" in the Modern world means Christian?

What are you talking about? Avoid limiting the field just because some are so narrow-minded that they let their own prejudices flow.

GIG, if these people represent the majority of the Cypriots, we do deserve worse than occupation of half of our country (IMO).

Hold your assessment. They have more in common with each other than with the majority of Cypriots. They tend to be either born abroad or recently moved to Cyprus but cannot integrate; or, equally bad, only have an economic interest in Cyprus. Such people's views should not be allowed to affect the future of Cyprus. Our views, Kurupetos, are the true views of the majority natives of Cyprus, born of its beautiful soil.

Unfortunately, Cap's promotion of all being OK has allowed others leeway to venture in the exact same spot.

- This is the DEEP SH*T-PURPLE-pigs the blackmail - in this thread topic - of allowing us use of our own churches was in preparation for ...

FINAL PREPARATIONS are being made for a controversial concert by rock band Deep Purple which is slated to take place next weekend at the Near East University in Turkish occupied northern Cyprus.

[Get Real!]

Cypriot is an ethnicity!

"Like"

Seriously, if the constitution would have been enforced, you would end up in prison for saying something like that.

Therein lies its fallacy… forced foreign ideals can only be upheld through threats and violence.

How special you must feel knowing you were born where you belong.

Tell me, do you not think Cyprus' sons and daughters who had no choice but to be born elsewhere, belong in Cyprus? Those who have hundreds, if not thousands of years of pure Cypriot blood coursing through their veins? Those who are so magnetised to the island, they try anything to go 'home' but can't, even though they've spent 40 years in another land?

I'm curious....

well said!

...do you have to be "Greek", to be Greek?

No problem with anyone born abroad. Nor anyone from abroad residing in Cyprus.

Since you don't quite understand what was being said, I'll explain. The problems lies with those who have not adopted the will of the native majority of the island but instead try to revise it, redefine it and above all set Cyprus on a course with their foreign-persuasions rather than follow Cyprus' native persuasion. Objectively looking at what some of those who believe they have Cyprus' interests at heart - but actually do not fit in with the majority natives of Cyprus - we find, overwhelmingly, that they have the 3 characteristics I pointed out earlier.

For example, there are Russians who understand Cyprus-nativeness better than a few that call themselves Cypriot but happen to have been born abroad as well (or any of the other two factors mentioned).

...so if i get your point, a Cypriot state cannot exist, only a Greek state can exist, that sounds "Turkish" to me.

[GreekIslandGirl]

That's cos you're of foreign-persuasion, non-native, and Turkish always comes first in your mind. Put there by British colonialism.

Exclude it.

You are GiG exactly the kind of Greek, who democratically sentenced Socrates to death.

[GreekIslandGirl]

That was the desired outcome of Socrates, who taught by example. We still use trial by juries, don't we? Or do Turks have a better system?
