OK done
for info
R N C is replaced with Republic of Northern Cyprus. I tend to use this one, to try and not 'upset' any compatriots who think if I use T R N C I am saying (part of) Cyprus is Turkish. |

Perhaps we should have the following abbreviations as well:
HRSC = Hellenic Republic of South Cyprus (for Bananiot)
HRWC = Hellenic Republic of Whole Cyprus (for Kifeas)
BPD = British Protectorate of Dhekelia (for Moosey)
BPA = British Protectorate of Akrotiri (again, for Moosey)

| if the T R N C abbreviation is to be removed due to the pressure of the greek lobby groups in the forum, i insist and i believe it is only fair that the R o C abbreviation is removed as well, because I do not want it to display as the Republic of Cyprus everytime i type r o c, as if I give to it so much importance. |

Er no one is asking for any of these to be removed ? Or were you joking ?
I _choose_ to use Republic of Northern Cyprus rather than Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, because in the past some people have claimed that by using Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus I am saying that I think part of Cyprus is Turkish and belongs to Turkey - which is not what I am saying. So to avoid this possible 'misinterpretation' I stared to use Republic of Northern Cyprus. By choice. Others may choose any lable they prefer. |

I was expecting an overreaction from the side of Greek Cypriots but clearly all is calm for now. Effectivelly the "t r n c" expressions in their posts have all been replaced with Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, with nice capital letters, and I thought they would protest to that. |

no it wasnt I just though it would be only fair the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is displayed in the same way the Republic of Cyprus is.
I though it was unfair that Greek Cypriots could rights t r n c, with small insignificant letters, and i could not write r o c with small letters to retaliate ;-) |
