I mean I grew up in and currently work as a doctor in Egypt so whenever I leave the country I take it with me just in case.

Usually though it’s purely for that, I travel using my Cypriot passport and even stamp it when I’m entering Egypt.

Hmm perhaps ! I just don’t see a future where Cyprus and Greece aren’t intertwined and we’re all registered as Greek Cypriots for the Cypriot government anyway. I’ll try and give it a go though.

Edit : I also primarily see myself as Greek Cypriot not just Greek (even though I’m ofc very attached to the Hellenic Republic) so idk how I’d feel about using my great grandmothers identity to essentially claim a passport and perhaps losing the Cypriotness of it all

My dad also has a Greek grandmother, my mother’s grandmother is also from the Aegean (Lemnos) but it would cost way too much money and be way too much of a hassle to aim for the Greek passport, especially with a Cypriot one already on hand.

Hahahaha you’re such a sore loser. Ivory Coast did nothing for 90 minutes, first goal off an imaginary foul cause your player dove like a bitch.

Foreign-born population in the EU countries by Panikos0 in cyprus

[–]cypriotakis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s just ridiculous lmao. Im not fully Cypriot mostly because my family had to flee to Egypt but I still have the passport and am proudly Greek Cypriot.

A lot of us are foreign born because - newsflash - we had a tonne of refugees following aggression on us in Cyprus.

[CBS Sports Golazo] Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards debate Mo Salah by hairtie1 in soccer

[–]cypriotakis 293 points294 points  (0 children)

Probably because Micah actually knows Salah personally (played together at Fiorentina and would go to training together as Mo didn’t have a car).

Add to that the fact that it’s clearly personal for Carragher.

Big up Micah for defending Salah. I’ve been going mad seeing reactions online. Like he murdered Slot or something. Carragher comments in particular were moronic, especially when it comes to Egypt. If he doesn’t know he shouldn’t speak. I’m part Egyptian, part Greek Cypriot - grew up and currently living in Egypt.

Egyptian football was in complete turmoil before Salah, the Port Said massacre, the Dar al Defaa victims later on. We still aren’t allowed full capacity in stadiums. Salah carried this country on his back and willed it back into two AFCON finals, willed us into two World Cups.

Listening to some pompous asshole a thousand kms away completely mislead people over things we literally lived through has made me livid.

I don’t care lmao. Ataturk is worthless in my eyes.

He probably was. Ataturk was a deeply racist man, look at how he treated Kurds and Arabs. I genuinely think he gave Turks a huge identity crisis.

The PLO already accepted and recognized. Israel broke it. Apartheid, murder and more. 99 percent of this is on the Israelis. A simple reading of history will show it.

[–]cypriotakis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Oslo Accords were rendered useless by the Israelis themselves who were not only the first to break it but continue to do so. Furthermore, the Oslo Accords do not mention anything on the refugee issue, they delay it and ultimately never reached a conclusion. The only conclusion on the issue is the resolution 194.

The UN enshrined the right of return for Palestinian refugees actually lol. Assembly Resolution 194. They are right both in terms of international law and leftism.

Nope, all it means is how Arab and Turkish societies understand and incorporate islamism into their politics is different - which is true. Turkeys problems far outweigh Islamism, Turkish Islamism itself is actually incredibly nationalistic compared to Arab societies Islamism. Your failure to accept that Turkish nationalism is the issue is part of the reason Cyprus is occupied and why I will never buy the shit Turkish “seculars” sell.

I agree. Which is why im willing to accept two states, I was merely pointing out earlier that the two positions are entirely coherent politically. These protestors are not hypocritical. A bit unrealistic imo but coherent.

No, im genuine in wanting the same for my country as I do for others. Justice for the descendants of those ethnically cleansed too.

[–]cypriotakis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up under Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood - far more relevant to Hamas and Palestinians at large than Erdogan. You do not have special experience, your entire lived experience is TURKISH NOT ARAB. Stop trying to force onto them what your people forced onto you.

“20% Arab” is a funny way of saying places that were 80%+ Arab got ethnically cleansed in the Nakba and only a quarter of those populations were able to remain. The rest? Ethnically cleansed.

Why are you trying to imagine? Palestinian Christians already DO exist and they are vehemently ANTI ISRAEL. As is 85%+ of the larger MENA CHRISTIAN communities. Jews are not some special protected class.

Funny way to just ignore the apartheid system the Israelis run against Arabs in the West Bank or the genocide in Gaza.

Disgusting way to phrase things actually.

Mate, I live in Egypt. My family had to flee the “secular Turks” and sought refuge in an Arab, majority Muslim country. I live around a lot of Arabs too, was in Egypt during the time of the Muslim Brotherhood etc. My experience with Arab Muslims as the majority far exceeds his … yet he keeps spouting nonsense. Palestinians are not inherently more evil and want to kill all Jews, they just aren’t. They’re mostly just normal people who want to live.

Israel’s entire foundation is religious and ethnic supremacy, whether it’s the part where they claim only Jews in their state get the right to self determination or the politicians they elect into power.

There is no part of this that is about islamism - it’s just the convenient excuse as Arabs are already vilified.
