| What a great news report. Must be such an odd feeling to be fce-to-face with a person who is living in your house. |

I am all eyes and ears about your explanation as to how you can brand this one-sided nonsense as "excellent reporting". Specifically, when it states that the island was divided in 1974 when in reality it was divided since 1964, when it gives Andri`s perception of the border but mentions nothing of Cavide`s, when it talks about Andri`s displacement a few hours south in Cyprus but mentions nothing about how and where Cavide was living for the 11 years before Andri was displaced, when Andri`s church is visited but Cahide`s mosque is not even mentioned? It`ll tell you about how Andri mourns her losses but does not even bother to ask if Cavide has any. You`ll hear how Andri feels that where Cahide lives is her home but you will hear nothing about how Cavide felt about getting chased into and living in an enclave for years embargoed from even infant medicine and left without running water. It will tell you about how Greek Cypriots were displaced but did you hear any description of events before 1974 in Cyprus in this "excellent reporting"? It will tell you that the Turkish soldiers intervened in 1974, but you hear nothing about the Greek Cypriot National Guard units patrolling around and/or attacking Cavide`s enclave with thousands of Greek troops invited to the island before any Turkish troop was there.
I am all for searching and finding that common ground in Cyprus for a solution, but I assure you that we will find none with a partial mindset reflected in this junk. On a final note, as a Turkish Cypriot myself, I feel humiliated and degraded to say the least to see videos like this getting applauded by other Turkish Cypriots. |

Don't waste your breath. These forums have been reduced to "intellectuals" who argue back and forth, yet do not get off their collective asses to do, or, influence ANYTHING. It's the same old regurgitated material. Good will without action.
