I have stated as a Cypriot that I support reunification into a unitary state but it has to be one where it really does not matter what kind of Cypriot your are. Not just in 'theory' or 'on paper' but in actuality, in terms of actual outcomes. The reality is that within Cyprus , historically and today there is such a thing as 'Greek privilege'. That, all else being equal, you will have as a GC more advantage over a Cypriot that is not Greek. This is easy to not notice when you are GC, easy to deny but its real and if we are to create a Cyprus where it really does not matter what kind of Cypriot you are, it something that GC need to get a grip on imo.

Good post but...

For as long as the CY ministry of education remains hijacked by Greece, Cypriot nationalism cannot survive.

Greece holds our country by the balls by pushing its propaganda on our youngsters throughout primary and secondary schooling.

They ensure that all pupils evolve into “faithful little Greeks” who see Cyprus as nothing but a small extension of Greece.

The treason in Cyprus is complete with CY politicians happily betraying their country in this way… they too being the products of past Greek-propaganda schooling.

There is no cure from this disease other than the dissolution of the sickly RoC and for a new system to be established; one that is free of any Greek or Turkish interferences, via international law.

Now look what you've done....you've awoken the homo erectus garos. Still, at least the Australopithecus should provide good entertainment in response.

Well you know me... I tell it like it is!

The only reason you and I evaded the Greek propaganda machine is because we had private schooling in the English language where Greece wasn’t even mentioned let alone have any influence on us.

We evolved into free thinkers who prefer to research from multiple sources as opposed to being fed and accepting of one-sided fairy-tales.

But we need these plebs to keep the factories running. Personally I don't care if they think they're related to Daffy Duck.

Excuse me Erolz for jumping in but this does not belong on such a thread.

Since it is though, I think it is incorrect to state that historically and today there is such a thing as Greek privilege in Cyprus.

You are borrowing this crap from American politics. Where white privileged was invented to further a bollox political argument for black folks.

But since you are borrowing it, it would be more accurate to call it historical and present day Turkish privilege.

I have never met or come to know a group of people, or a community who have attitudes and beliefs that they should have such a privileged status in Cyprus because of their ethnicity such as yours.

Who don't accept democracy, who follow and idolize Ataturk and think the Ottoman empire is still alive and well and demand more than their fair share of everything.

I am just telling it like it is.

[erolz66]

Maximus please do go ahead and tell it as you see it, I would not want anything else.

The fact is in places like the UK statistically your outcomes are worse on a vast range of things if you are from a minority. The evidence is incontrovertible from where I am sitting. If you want a country where it does not matter what your ethnicity is then you need to deal with this, unless you are saying that they are worse because people of certain ethnicities are worse. You may choose to deny the evidence, I personally do not. Not in the UK and not in Cyprus.

[repulsewarrior]

Maximus, you have a point, but "Greeks" in this regard are no different to "Turks". Greeks and Turks who are Cypriot can attest to that.

...if there was a "like" button i would be pushing it for erolz' comment; well said erolz.

[Maximus]

Appreciate you Erolz,

But why are you mad at Paphitis for calling you a Turk,

Are you a different ethnicity or not?

What is this different ethnicity if not Turkish?

I am getting confused.

Did you stop and think yet that you are just the product of the British education system?

An education conducted in Cyprus in the English language, isn’t necessarily a British one!
