| Unknown Cynic philosopher |
The photo depicts the statue of an unknown Cynic philosopher from the Capitoline Museum in Rome. Roman-era copy of an earlier Greek statue from the 3rd century BC.
If you are sipping coffee & have a few minutes available, scroll down to the bottom in order to move in chronological order. It turns out our sophisto-cynic is also a prophet, as he semi-predicted the tCypriot protests. Will his other predictions also come true?

I totally agree with you they only represent 120,000 TCs, and majority Turkish settlers 300,000 plus want to stay with Turkey.
However, you are overlooking something, 120,000 TCs have the deeds to Cyprus, others don't.

Erdogan is used to delivering bags of rice and bulgur to villagers in Turkey in order to buy their votes. He has also delivered washing machines, dish washers to villages that have no electricity.
He thought TCs can be bought the same way.
Most of the money they channell to north goes onto settlers anyway.
There are hardly any TCs students at schools as most of us send our children to private schools, hardly anyone visits the hospitals most of us use private hospitals.
TCs have different social structure to Turks from Turkey, we have different values, this is why most Turkish settlers can't blend into Turkish Cypriot way of life.
I can say that we have more incommon with GCs than Turks in Turkey.

Real issue in North Cyprus is influx of thousands of illegal settlers from Turkey with the blessing of Mr Erdogan.
These people have brought many problems to this country, they are rapein and thieving, molesting children, beating up their wifes, kidnapping, arm robberies, drugs etc....
Public services are collapsing.
Hospitals are running out of medications, as many of the settlers friends and families are coming over from Turkey to get free treatment.
Hospitals A&E departments are not able to cope with the demand.

Correction to Loriot's comment;- Most TCs can't wait to get rid of the chains holding them down in the north.
When we were with the Greeks we knew that we were second class citizens but now we have dropped down to 6th and 7th behind Hataylilar Cemniyeti, Kara Denizliler Cemniyeti, Trabzonlular Cemniyeti, Konyalilar Cemniyeti and many others.

There is no free social benefits from the south only for those people that currently working in the south.
Free medical care in the south is correct.
Hospitals in the North is below EU standards. Also hospitals in the north is swamped with paitence from Turkey seeking free health care.
Majority of the TCs use private hospitals in the north for medical care or private hospitals in Turkey.
I think it is right for Turkey to give financial aid to north after all they maintain 40,000 troops, military don't pay for utilities and thousands of its citizens are using public services with out contributing anything into the administrations coffers.

Cyprus Mail | Eroglu in Ankara for heart surgery Published on December 19, 2010
Anyone following the TCs press would have known about Eroglu's tv speech.
He was saying that UN agrees with him that he is not going wait for ever and he should be going his separate way.
Eroglu's intention from day 1 was find an excuse and put an end to negotiations, have a referendum majority of North population is made up of Turks from Turkey and become a province of Turkey.
Today Mr Soyer former 'prime minister' admitted that TCs are 120,000 and the remaining 600,000 made up of people from Turkey including 200,000 illegal immigrants. Only 40,000 people are registered for tax purposes.
Eventuality in Cyprus.
Unitary state all Cypriots living under one nationality and one flag.
Individuals rights protected by constitution.
@JRB from Limassol
I agree most Cypriots want a solution except misguided few.
Solution MUST take away the influence of other countries involved in Cyprus issue and everybody knows what this means.
Loriot,
You know that I am right and you still insist that majority of the TCs are against settlement.
Last bayram majority of the TCs spent their holidays in South Cyprus some with Greek friends.
As they probably feel more at home in Greek South than Turkish North.
Majority of the Turkish Cypriots are in favour of settlement and live in a unitary state.
It is regrettable that majority of the people living in North Cyprus are from Turkey, most of these people are manipulated by Turkish Embassy and Turkish Cypriot politicians like Eroglu, Tore, and many others.
So I would disregard this opinion poll as it doesn't represent facts.
Most rightwing TCs will disagree with me but deep down they know that I am right.
This has nothing to do with education it is common sense.
How can a small community dictate to a majority ?
After all we are a small community in Cyprus, who can disagree with this ?
TC can only be a junior partners in a future comprehensive settlement.
We only form 20% of the population and it is madness to demand equal rights in a future partnership.

If it is then it should be spent in Turkey to better the lives of Turkish people and not in Cyprus, enriching already very rich elite in Cyprus.
307 years of ottoman rule brought to both Greek and Turkish communities misery, deprivation, hunger and rebellion to the island.
Upto 1839 Cyprus was never treated by the ottomans as a part of ottoman province.
Ottomans used to auction the governor's position and the highest bidder would become ottoman governnor of Cyprus.
