That's heartbreaking - oddly none of our relatives have issues with Turkish Cypriots (who they see as cypriot) but with Turkey. My partner resents now that when he says he is Cypriot he is now always asked which type.
-
I never lived in the Uk when they didn't ask. It happened to me from the first day I moved here. Somebody on the train from the airport asked me and my mum what type of Cypriots we are and she said "Christian" and he didn't clarify.
-
This kind of upset me and told me it's Islamophobia more than anything in her opinion. I still think she should not have even replied. But my mum, who lived through the invasion, was quite different back then on certain progressive issues.
-
My mum wasn't going to be allowed into Austria until they could see it clearly stated "Greek Cypriot" on her passport once.
-
So yeah, it's pretty much always been tricky. When my grandad visited the UK (on USA passport) had to deal with shops/hotels that said "No Cyps".

Thank you! :)

You know as a child & even after 2003 I still thought of Turkish Cypriots as not Cypriots. That's how culturally entrenched all this BS is. They are very much under attack now and in the past. I meet some in the UK and they tell me they are losing their culture in the TRNC.

The whole thing is a mess. And god knows if ever there will be a solution....

Definitely not one in the way the ELAMites, the Church, etc., wants.
