Self-flagellation

Hi, dhimmi no more !

Thanks for your kind comment. You remarked :

"As for Democrat Greek" or what ever he calls himself, he cannot be a Greek and he is more likely than not another Turkish propagandist as he uses the usual topoi that Turkish propagandists use and here is the test for him ask him was there really an Armenian Genocide? and let us see what the answer would be".

I am afraid he is in fact a Greek and not a Turk (even though most Turks are former Greeks converted by force to Islam). Unfortunately enough, I have met several Greek people like him and it's rather sad and discouraging to see their irrational self-flagellation and confessions of "mea culpa" where there is clearly no guilt of theirs involved at all.But with the psychological state they are in arguing with them is all in vain.

I guess that in addition to a misplaced reflex of a Christian soul we have here the EU/UN and its propaganda machinery at work.In the media you often hear the recurrent half-true or quite untrue arguments like "We have started it", 'the bad Greeks tried to overthrow Makarios", "the Turks suffered so much because of us...","Had we been obedient and nice to the Turk,all would have been different" etc, etc. This discourse that goes unchallenged by rational arguments makes some people accept it at its face value and the effects are as you have seen them with our "Democrat Greek". His mind is disturbed by such propaganda, his will to resist is broken and the Turk can only rejoice and wait for more Greeks and outsiders to accept that fraudulent line of argument.

The EU/UN panacea solution to the Cyrus problem is based on the historically false premise of equal fault. Now as Turks NEVER admit their fault (especially when they are exposed) and invariably blame the victims for their own crimes what we have are some repenting Greeks and a mass of sullen, angry and self-righteous Turks that demand more and more concessions.The impression is that they demand the Greeks repent and pay also for the Turkish conquest of 38% of the island and expulsion of the Greeks from their homes !

The official quest for the solution of the Cyprus issue is an incredibly tedious comedy of intentional errors and delusions. It creates many jobs for UN bureauctats, generates unjustified hopes and media bubbles which burst as soon as they come in touch with reality.But the old bubbles are immediately replaced with other bubbles and this parody has been going on for 37 years now !
