On Cypriots and Taking Responsibility

Todays - 13 of OCtober 2006 - version of the World's Best Newspaper,Cyprus Mail - carried an editorial dealng with the recent French decision to mak it a crime to deny that the Armenians were subjected to a genocide in the early part of the twentieth century. Somewhat predictable, "Cyprus Mail" felt this was entirely appropriate.

Turkey, they felt, needs to own up to its many crimes, including those against Cyprus and, in particular the Greek Cypriots.

The Greek Cypriots, on the other hand, have never entertained any idea of admitting any responsibility for the current situation.

No responsibility for anything at all, in fact.

That is why the same newspaper, on the same date, reported a number of storms and great precipitation as a a result of Greek rains...It is alsways someone else who is at fault.
