   You are not the first Greek Cypriot to contradict yourself, Lambrou.
With your previous posting you implied that you recieved a lot of replies
from Turkish Cypriots and you even attempted to draw some conclusions. Now 
you claim that you got an open-minded response at last.  Are you not making
a clown out of your own self Lambrou?

Of course, the future is full of hopes, Lambrou. 

>TRUE. Cyprus is owned by the Cypriots. The Greek, Turkish, Latins Cypriots.

Can you prove me that there is a single Cypriot nation with a common language,
culture, religion, ethnic background, and everything else?

This has never been observed in the Greek Cypriot sector of Cyprus in its 
history. There has always been more Enosis (Union of Cyprus with Greece) minded
Greek Cypriots, more hate-the-Turkish-Cypriot-minorty minded Greek Cypriots,
and more Cyprus-is-Greek minded Greek Cypriots in Cyprus until today. That is
why we have two separate republics today.

There are two distinct states in Cyprus; the Turkish Republic of Northern 
Cyprus and the Greek Cypriot controlled sector of South Cyprus. Can you
prove the opposite? Those UN resolutions made in Greek Cypriot favour are
nothing but death warranties for the Turkish Cypriots. They are the end
results of continuous and fake Greek Cypriot propaganda. If those resolutions
were implemented word by word, Cyprus would be a Greek island long ago.
For your information, the latest resolution concerning Cyprus was purposely
passed to make some propaganda material for Vasiliu to get re-elected in
the upcoming elections, did you know that? 
  Vasiliu is the leader of Greek Cypriots, and even though he may be 
recognized as the so-called illegal 'President' of Cyprus, he is only
representing the Greek Cypriots in the GC controlled sector of South 
Cyprus.

Liar! The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is one of the most beautiful
countries in the Mediterranean, and Lambrou knows that like his name also,
but his brain is so conditioned that he has to lie in order to be accepted
in his community and among his peers. Too bad.

In fact, the negotiations are taking place between the Turkish Republic
of Northern Cyprus Government and Greek Cypriot dominated South Cyprus
administration. It would be equally fair if we say, the representatives of
North and South Cyprus.

Lambrou sounds like it was only the Greek Cypriots who lost their homes.
Thousands of Turkish Cypriots have been refugees more than once in their
homeland, Cyprus. Somehow this fact is always ignored...
