...i was a child. And as i've said before, coming from a "mixed" village, what did i know about "Them" except that they were very dangerous to me.

And unlike the "Greeks" who ran away rather quickly in '74, 'we' stayed until the Turkish Army came and with their partisans had 'us' disappeared and the rest housed outside in schoolyards until the complete removal months later.

...i don't like "Greeks" and i don't like "Turks", they are the same to me; you?

Indeed in Cyprus, to answer your question Lordo, Cypriots Turkish and Greek have not succumb to voting for one of "Their" candidates, never once even after all these decades, overwhelmingly. That says a lot.

...like in Gaza/Israel, a majority (silent or silenced) exists that is not Hateful as "They" are. This is the Problem: "Them" and 'us' knows no international boundaries; in that regard it is not a matter of picking one "side".

("you lot"; in bold? (glad you appreciate the tone and intention) Reread my post, I am quoting mustie, (who speaking as a "Turk" actually, is naturally assuming Cypriots are only few, Turkish or Greek, and insignificant).)
