Greek minister: half of Cyprus is Turkish

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/02/21/greek-minister-half-of-cyprus-is-turkish/

.

...yes, had the coupists been successful Cyprus would have been "Greek" and the other half "Turkish". What is ignored by "Hellenists" and "Turks" is that beyond these dogmas exists a world beyond them, which Cypriots (have already) embraced.

But the coupists failed. Greek Cypriots who supported it were very few. Thus it is fair to say Cypriots are not few as "They" would have the rest of us believe, and they speak as much as they are silenced/silent, never once betraying the notion of "being" Cypriot, never once voting overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates at the polls even after so many decades of being so unnaturally torn apart Turkish or Greek, they hold in this way together above "This".

...indeed, Cypriots are divided, who i ask keeps it this way?

...yes Lordo, fifty years later Cypriots are still ignored, by the invader and the coupists without support who failed.

...and let's remember that had Putin been truthful Ukrainians would not be defending their very existence. Russia has no reason to have attacked the Ukraine but for the sake of "Ukrainians", who as a "Russian" he has defined.

What is the Problem is the same; intentions count.

...unlike "You" the Danes are not looking for some tribute, something to gain; they stand on Principle as Patriots toward a cause that is Universal, and at a time not of their own choosing but because it is necessary.

..."winning" i suppose, is what counts. If you are "Turkish" in Cyprus or if you are "Greek" your lives have the added burden of being hateful toward each other and ignorant to your victims, those of us on this island defending Universal Principles.

But, as an enterprise it seems quite profitable for both of "You"; what with the Cypriots (the other half) still struggling with what was usurped from them, their Individual Rights: to "be" Cypriots and to be loving persons as such.

...such as it is 'we' are still here. (whatever "You" say about each other)

While things are (un)changing "things" do not go on for ever, those silenced or silent will speak.

Turkish Cypriots encouraged to vote in European election

https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/02/16/turkish-cypriots-encouraged-to-vote-in-european-election/ 

.

Such an election should expose our political parties to the same criticism, who represents Cypriots best Turkish and/or Greek? Who unlike "Them" ("Cypriot Turk" and "Greek") espouse a Cypriot identity.

...what has AKEL done toward this end since the last election where their candidate, (for the first time) a Turkish Cypriot, was chosen by Cypriots to represent 'us'.

...i ask, where is DISY? Have they, since then, cultured any dialog with Parties in the occupied territories who support a Cypriot way? What makes them a Party all Cypriots may choose?

In any case, i do not despair; i remember, who has kept the notion of Cypriots existing: the voters who even after decades of this corruption for/of power do not betray themselves, leaderless in affect the other half as i like to call them as Cypriots, who do not succumb to "Thisness" defending Universal Principles instead.

The Cyprus problem gets lost in translation

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/02/11/the-cyprus-problem-gets-lost-in-translation/#comment-6389181870

.

...indeed, the Cyprus Problem got lost in translation.

It is as though "Greekness" and/or "Turkishness" are important, that "They" are more important than the Individual Rights and/or Identity of Cypriots that was usurped from them.

It is as though 'we' will be sacrificed, those of us who defend Universal Principles, those of us lost in this "translation'' neither "Greek'' or "Turkish", the other half if you will which for decades as voters have never betrayed the notion of their 'Cypriotness'; voting never once overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates, those who have remained civil and reasoned despite the fact that having voted for Cypriot representation for so long, they have so little of it.

...what is the problem in Cyprus: it is not about Greeks vs. Turks, or about "Turks" vs. "Greeks", it is about "Greeks"/"Turks" vs Turks/Greeks; this is the Problem. And, if you think about it, it is the same problem affecting Turkey in its Constitutional reform, the Ukraine as it is evolving, (and dare i say it the conflict of the "Jews"/"Arabs").

Booking.com warns tourists entering Cyprus from the north

...what is a quick buck is not in their mission and such integrity counts.

Cypriot lives matter; (still) the larger half if you will, Greek and Turkish who are neither "Greek" or "Turkish".

A signal of doom from last British governor to Cyprus

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/02/04/a-signal-of-doom-from-last-british-governor-to-cyprus/

.

...indeed i do recall, the coup and how it ended; imagine how things would be like had "They" succeeded.

...indeed, i do not despair because despite the "Greeks" and "Turks" who do everything to bend 'us' like chattel, they fail. If it were not for Cypriots Greek and Turkish who see life differently, Cypriots would be no more.

One day, i imagine that Cypriots will overcome their fears and instead taking to their beaches for picnics, and under their Flag, the one that is rightfully theirs, the Flag of Cyprus, share souvla: who would be against it ask yourselves.

...if our leadership continues to represent themselves as the "Greek" representative or the "Turkish" representative, what is left i ask for the People wanting change, somehow to be represented as Cypriots (first), but to represent themselves accordingly, thus exposing "Their" weaknesses, with their own demonstrations of unity and strength.

Cyprus is Cypriot let's not forget because of its voters; despite decades torn unnaturally they have never once betrayed this notion of "being" Cypriot, never once having voted overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates.

Enosis is the only solution but Cypriots must take back the word and in practical terms give it a Cypriot meaning.

Nicosia must ‘avoid generalisations’ on Cyprus problem

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/01/31/nicosia-must-avoid-generalisations-on-cyprus-problem/

.

...such an insulting man, he dares to suggest that somehow "Hellenism" in Cyprus has been the cornerstone of our prosperity and health, which without it we could not survive. I fear the "Greeks" frankly, just as much as i do, the "Turks". And for Greeks, Turks, and Cypriots, "They" are a bane to our existence with their dogmas and their zeal.

...indeed, i ask, will 'we' be betrayed again; (i.e.: the coup, the financial crash), for "Greece's" greater glory, will it come down to that in the negotiations that will follow soon with Turkey?

Enosis, i see enosis as the only solution. Cypriots taking back the word from "Them" by giving it a Cypriot meaning.

...yes, let's avoid "generalisations", Cypriots are not "Greeks", nor are they "Turkish", as Greeks and Turks like other Individuals everywhere on this planet they seek something more: to live without fear, to be judged on their merit and not on "who" they are, to have equal opportunity at finding happiness; to ''be'' Human above all.

A State is needed; not a "Greek" state and a "Turkish" state, although such Constituencies at another level of Government would be welcome. A BBF in Turkey, i will add, like in Cyprus is needed. Greece may think about that wanting to be helpful toward 'us', and to secure for themselves among neighbours the same peaceful relations.

Interesting ain it?

...for the record, i think you are mistaken.

With respect RW tell me which bits you disagree with?

By all means take them apart point by point.

1. Aggressors, are you comparing "Russians", (never mind "Ukrainians"; they are 'gone' now just like the "Greeks"), with "Jews"? And who are the "Americans", think carefully; and who are they rooting for?

2. Who are you talking about, really? The "Russians" the "Jews", the "Americans", or to bring it closer to home, the "Turks"?

3. Don't kid yourself Lordo, Nazis are everywhere, and they are a scourge wherever they are; but yes in that regard i will agree with you that there are Nazis who are "Jews".

4. ...and who has signed an agreement with the intention of keeping it? Those of us who would sign an agreement and keep it in any case are unnaturally torn apart by the mythic reality that "They" would have us believe, that 'we' are few.

5. Who tried to call a "ceasefire"; all these decades? Let's be serious, "They" hold the agenda, wherever there is this problem (it seems i am the only one left to remember when "it" was called The Problem), in any case it's 'us' the other half who will pay their (and these) costs; whether as Individuals, having defended Universal Principles for Freedom and Rights that go with a Human Condition, or, questioning these values without Liberty as Persons in affect "Forbidden" to associate.

Both Cyprus and Israel are very good examples of a Democracy under threat where it has been demonstrated again and again (over decades) that no extremists have ever won an overwhelming majority. (Particularly in Israel, (with its present situation) let us remember who Bibi really is, he has a lot of history and in any case his power is not on solid foundations to say the least.) It is for this reason Lordo, that i do not despair; perhaps i have more faith than you in Humanity. I believe in 'us' and the power of us as Hateful beings, yes, but (unlike you perhaps) not against each other, Lest we Forget, there are bigger enemies to focus upon like disease and hunger worth such ruthlessness. No, it is by kindness, reason, that what is prevailing as misery is overcome, by embracing such a future unknown, to "be" Loving, by changing intentions making changes, by overcoming the fear we have among 'us' and within ourselves, uniting, ending Ignorance ("This" plunder) as well.

...a BBF is good for Israel, a BBF is good for Palestine too, just like a BBF is good for Ukraine and, in Turkey, (some good examples); in Cyprus it should (have been) be easy because it is an island after-all and its population is (very) small.

...you are mistaken, like having picked a "side" from the stock that has been around for a while, selling it like "new", like in a bizarre where one can say anything to draw a buyers' attention, like "it" is better than "another" when in reality "they" are the same (actually for "both" hidden from the clients the one 'thing' feared the most in such a marketplace, which is Modern and more reasoned, what has the better pattern).

‘Measures for Turkish Cypriots are an admission of guilt’

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/02/01/measures-for-turkish-cypriots-are-an-admission-of-guilt/

.

...Eide said it, Cypriots if left to solve their problem alone, would have solved it long ago.

Let's remember who keeps Cypriots together despite the decades of having been unnaturally divided; their Individual Rights usurped from them by those who call each other "Greeks" and "Turks".

...it is 'us' that has prevented this island from being torn in two, the voters Turkish and Greek who have never voted in any election overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates. This is something worth thinking about.
