For now, keep the forum as it is...no need for change .

To be fair, i hink most literature on teh cyprus issue is in english, greek or turksih, so the arguement for french section is not so neccessary.

When you talk about a french section, are you meaning to talk about the issues concerning cyprus, or just about learning the language?

It seems that if we have a section in french, it wpould divide the forum somewhat....discriminating against people who only speak english.

cant we have a forum that has all these languages that cypriots speak, i m just thinking about broadening the participation, so you have people from the dispora as well as from cyprus too. when i was in cyprus recently not everyone spoke english. its about accommadating everyones needs.

how about discriminating angainst those who do not speak english, not necessarily cypriots but say Senegalese, Swiss, Belgians, French, or North Africans or Canadians or other ccountries that speak French and who want to participate in our talks or those in Cyprus who only speak Greek or Turkish or whose English is next to zero. :)

Ok, how about a tagalog, swahili, portuguese, quebecquois, Sinhalese, sanskrit or even javan section... Mehmet, english is essentially the only common language that Cypriots have, let's not turn this into a meaningless argument.
