What is it with these people.Time to move on me thinks.Just a bunch of bigotted dinoaurs.

Paul.

[iancrumpy]

In one way it is to the TCs' advantage when such comments are made, because it enables more of the international community to realise what sort of people the TCs have to deal with.

[rocking]

Nothing changes you would think he is talking of the massacre in Syria.

[dodger]

Exactly rocking.

Paul.

[scarlets]

they are very sad, bitter and uneducated people. If only they spent more time sorting out their internal and financial problems their country would be in a better state

[Mel7348]

It amazes me that the Greek Orthodox Church purports to be Christian. Seems to me they are more interested in wordly wealth, political power and social control.

I'm no theologian, but I doubt Jesus was about all that !!!.

[dodger]

The worrying this is though.People actually listen and take on board what these bigots say.How is Cyprus expected to move forward when they have luddites for mouth pieces.

Whats done is done.And lets move on.Britain.Germany.Poland.Russia.Italy.etc,etc.All have previous.God knows we (Britain) are one of the worst offenders for wars over the centuries.

But it doesnt stop us trading with countries that we have had previous troubles with.It seems to me that its time that someone should get around to talking to these holier than thou characters and put them in their respective places.

Paul.

[deputydawg]

I think it will take a lot to shake their faith, Dodger, as that was gun running and using their churches as arsenals and refuge for killers.

[dodger]

Take your point D.D.

Paul.

Message 4 well said i could not of put it better myself :

Sundance

[Marions]

HAVE POSTED A BIT OF A RESPONSE, but it is awaiting the approval of a moderator. Pity that the original statement by the church was not moderated before it was either spoken or put into print!

[dippersgirl]

Message 6, exactly my thinking. Mostly they don't even know that so many other people in the world have suffered far worse
Also something to do with living on an island, makes people very self centred

[Sandman]

I had hoped Makarious was no longer with us but sadly his presence prevails !!

[ozonkoyboy]

The usual stuff, they shout and the world listens. What a propaganda machine the South has. He is out achieve the same thing as Makarious wanted, nothing short of removing the turkish from Cyprus
.............. I'm afraid yet another nail in the peace coffin
For the sake of common sense end it now
I know its like asking a shark not to bite you but there is alway hope

[Deniz1]

I know about greek sharks I was married to one for 17 years or was not as it turned out he was a bigamist.

[dodger]

Why does such a small country like Southern Cyprus carry so much clout.

Paul.

[iancrumpy]

I don't know if they carry that much "clout" Dodger, but it seems to me that there will always be at least a few receptive ears for them in the west, merely because they are Caucasian Christians. Considering the attrocities they committed against the TCs, for me it's the main reason as to why the international community sided with them.

[dodger]

Time that the rest of the world removed the blinkers then Ian.

Paul.
