Answer 1

I think there is still a definate raw feeling between the two. my sis worked in cypress and she found the greeks and cypriots still had a prob with each other. Just be happy in yourself you cant change what you are and you had nothing to do with it.

Answer 2

You know that this hate counts a few centuries already.I don't think it will ever disappear.It's the same from both sides.Half of Cyprus is occupied by Turkey so don't expect from Cypriots to feel in another way.You would feel the same for the people who have invaded in your country.For me there are not Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots.There are Cypriots and Turkish .Cyprus is an independent country.I don't want to sound harsh and I apologize if i did.I'm Greek and I never consider Cyprus as part of Greece.Even "Greek-Cypriots" will go mad on me.

Answer 3

How sad is that, the war wasn't your doing, it was such a long time ago, trouble is people have long memories and hatred is passed down the generations in a lot of families and cultures, my father hated the Germans because of the first and second world wars and he expected me to feel the same, thankfully I grew up and have my own opinions on cultures, I think some of the bigots will still feel hatred for war from any culture, the thing to do is to teach yourself, your future children and their children that hate is not the way forward and the wars are in the past.
