Answer 1

Stop doing this. One week ago you were pretending to be a Turk and threatened Greeks with invading the Greek islands.
You just play between the Greek and the Turkish section trying to rise a conflict. Get a real life, and find something else to play with....

Answer 2

Kurds are freedom warring parties and that they have been battling for freedom for years. Turkey has come into the middle East 800 years in the past, Kurds come into the middle East 8000 years in the past. Turks and Muslim Arabs hate Kurds because of the fact Kurds weren't initially muslim, yet they do no longer hate Kurds because of the fact of that it because of the fact the Kurdish land has rather some oil.. it is why they hate Kurds and kills, tortures, kurds. Kurds combat for their freedom because of the fact they want help and are battling suitable now with ISIS and turkey.

Answer 3

Yea some cypriots said everbody knows some refugee in their country.
I ll reply to this like that: Everybody in North Cyprus knows a family member whose life was destroyed because of the mass killings of EOKA...
Maybe its time to stop acting like innocent angels.
I understand folks from Turkey had gone too far but imagine this; Nobody after 1974 got killed in that island. (except for that guy who is trying to take down the Turkish flag on the Turkish side, they cut me off and give my organs to dogs if I do the same thing in South Side)

Answer 4

After the Greek disaster under Veniselos, hundreds of thousands of Greeks, named "prosfigi" and "madziri", have flooded Aegean (occupied) Macedonia.
Before that, Macedonians were absolute majority in Macedonia. In 1913 Carnegie Commission have wrote that the new Greek administration in Macedonia is unable to be created cause of the fact NOBODY in the new territories (read Macedonia) can understand Greek language.
After this "prosfigi&madziri" flood, Macedonia have been settled by Greeks, and the new toponymes have been appeared, such as NEW Moudania, NEW Calicratia, NEW Effessos, New this, New that.
All because that the old ones remained in Turkey Anadolia.

Answer 5

This isn't about your issue "supposed" anymore. You just want to spread hate.

My grandfather, a Chinese was beheaded by the Japanese duting WW2 in the Philippines for supporting the country he adopted as his own. You know who turned him in? One of the Filipinos he was supporting! They took him to a shack with no windows, kept him for "interrogation", made him dig his own grave and beheaded him. Not one rebel even tried to rescue him despite the fact he gave them food, shelter and hundreds of thousands which was a lot during those times. After that, since my grandmother was "just" a housewife and knew nothing about business, all my grandfather's business interests were misappropriated by his partners and their employees. Doors were shut on her and it was wartime. Thank goodness she had the presence of mind to hide gold ingots inside bedposts. Today, my mother still passes by some buildings she says were "ours" but was taken from us.

Do I hate the Japanese or the Filipinos? No. That was then, this is now. Do you want to be part of the problem or the solution?

You are a pathetic loser and a war monger. Your parents must be proud of you and you probably are like them.

Answer 6

YES. My dad and grandfather owned houses and fields in a village called Petra in Northern Cyprus. During the Turkish Invasion of 1974 all that land was lost, as was the entire village.

My dad left the island in '74 as a refugee (he was only 16) and went to England with his father.

Even though you can now visit the North of the island, the village is still off-limits because it lies on the Green-Line near a military base. It remains abandoned and dilapidated, but such are the tragedies of war...

Answer 7

20 July 1974 – Turkey launches its invasion of northern Cyprus.The effect of the division was catastrophic for all concerned. Thousands of Greek Cypriots had been killed, wounded or missing. A further two hundred thousand Greek Cypriots had been displaced. In addition to the entire north coast (Kerynia, Morfou) and the Karpas peninsula, the Greek Cypriots were also forced to flee the eastern port city of Famagusta. The vast majority of the Turkish occupied area was predominantly owned by Greek Cypriots prior to 1974. In the process about 160,000 - 200,000 Greek Cypriots who made up 82% of the population in the north became refugees, many of them forced out of their homes (violations of Human Rights by the Turkish army have been acknowledged by the European Court of Human Rights), the rest fleeing at the word of the approaching Turkish army. Since 1974, the ceasefire line separates the two communities on the island, and is commonly referred to as the Green Line.So the answer to your question is 160,000 - 200,000 Greek Cypriots became refugees.

we lost more from it than we gained

I dont want to live such a thing

p.s hey lamp lady, dont put your nose where you are not supposed to this is Greek section

Answer 10

Jean Charles why would you pollute the sections with your hostile questions? Well are you one of those people whose only happiness is seeing people angry or fighting?
That means you will be sad in Turkish and Greek sections because WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIGHT! We are civilized humans (contrary to you) and we will continue writing and having fun and we don't really care about you.
What is your point with all those questions? What are you going to solve writing these kinds of questions in Y!A?
You know what you need is to socialize more...

Answer 11

i agree with andreas. i come from cyprus that u foreigners know as a greek island or even worse a turkish island. they havent taken anything from my relatives thankfully but it is not possible to make friends and ask them if they've been robed and tell you no. everybody here knows somebodies that are refugees.. it is a painful story and today is the memorable day that everything started. on july 20 the turkish people came to our islands to fight and kill cypriots..
