Deluded troll, what does this video have to do with Macedonia, by the way?However, a large number of Greeks were, are and will always be Macedonians!Alexander the Great was a Greek from Macedonia, thus a Macedonian!The Former YugoSLAV Republic of "Makedonija" should stop stealing the (ancient) Greek/Hellenic history of Makedonia!Long live Greece and its Macedonia!
the truth about the DNA of Cyprus
great information, photos, and music dealing with the history and genetics and background of this interesting European Island and place called "Cyprus".
And another thing, the pictures of the fair people in this video are total
propaganda, there are a few Cypriots like that but the massive majority of
Cypriots are very dark. If you are expecting to meet many Greek Cypriots
like the ones in this video you will be greatly dissapointed because it's
total bollocks that Cypriots mostly look like that.
+nerim z yes that's great, there are fair Cypriots like your relatives, we've already established that. The point is that the majority of Cypriots are dark skinned with dark eyes and dark hair. The minority are like the ones in the video. It is completely false to represent Cypriots with a load of blonde fair skinned people when there is only a small percentage. It's like putting a video here of only ginger people and saying that they represent what all English people look like. We know that the percentage of ginger people in England is a minority so it would be a false representation. This video is the same.
+Maximus25N whilst i agree and many cypriots are quite dark skinned, almost arab looking, my grandfather's side are all either green or blue eyed and quite fair, two cousins blonde with it, , My two aunts green eyed but my mother and all three of us brown/ hazel eyes.
+Geo Rock yes it's true, they don't like being dark, that is actually racist though. I was seeing a Cypriot girl and one day i came back from the beach and she wouldn't stop going on about how dark id gone, like it was a bad thing to be dark. The real problem is that Cypriots think it is bad to be dark!
+Maximus25N Youre not understanding. As a whole, all over the world brown eyes are a dominant gene as compared to lite. Brown eyes are dominant no matter the race...but taking that into consideration many Cypriots do have lite eyes. And as far as skin color goes, anyone living in the part of the world would be dark over time due to sun exposure and how strong the sun is there. Most Cypriots dont go to the beach til after 3 cause they dont like being dark and they dont like roasting in that hot burning sun.
but you said most Cypriots have lite/hazel eyes a minute ago, now you have said most have brown, make your mind up. The actual truth is that most Cypriots have dark skin and brown eyes.
+Maximus25N Yeah im Cypriot, 4/6 of my family have lite/hazel mix eyes. My family including grandparents as a majority have hazel eyes. The majority is always brown considering brown eyes are dominant. But considering the race as a whole, yes there are many Cypriots with lite eyes.
+Maximus25N Not all Cypriots are dark skinned. Some are olive complected but not dark as you describe. Whether they are in the sun which would make them dark is another story. Some of the pictures provided which look more Germanic/Irish do exist in Cyprus and is very common. Most Cypriots have lite/hazel eyes.
I am a Greek Cypriot who grew up in the UK. This whole thing about Cyprus
being Greek has left me with nothing but an identity crisis. My parents
always told me I was Greek. If anyone asked where we were from we would say
we were Greek. I grew up believing I was Greek, but then I was confused
when everyone else would constantly mistake me for being Asian or Arab. To
be fair, in the UK, there are so many Asians, that if you are dark you
automatically get pigeon holed as one of them. I never liked being mistaken
for an Asian, because I felt like I was Greek....that is always what I was
told. I use to blame everyone else's ignorance, and think they were stupid
because they couldn't tell the difference between an Asian and a Greek. Now
I am older and more wise and I realize that they were not stupid at all. I
am not Greek, I am Cypriot. I am from an island in the middle east, and my
looks are exactly as they should be for someone from a middle eastern
island. We tell ourselves we are Greeks. Our culture is Greek. Our language
is Greek. Genetically though we are not greeks. I DO look Asian or middle
Eastern. I am NOT caucasian looking at all. All my ancestors have come from
Cyprus and as far as I know they were "Greek Cypriot". I am living proof
that we are much more Arab looking than European looking. I am living proof
that we are not ethnic Greeks. if I had grown up being told I was middle
eastern rather than being told i am Greek, things would have made a lot
more sense to me. I am a middle eastern man not European, not Greek and I
am from Cyprus. We have nothing to do with Greece, it's just an ancient
culture that the middle eastern people of Cyprus followed and it has stuck
with us to this day. People from Cyprus who insist they are white and Greek
have a complex i'm afraid, because they are neither, they are middle
easterners who follow Greek culture. That answers all questions about greek
cypriot identity and who they truly are. If you don't agree, you should
take one look at me, a true Greek Cypriot blood, and you would understand.
+HistoryArchiver yes it's true. I'm not Greek but some of my blood probably is Greek. Some of my blood, maybe is Arab, maybe African who knows, but I am not going to go around saying I have Arab blood because I have no evidence of that and I have no connection with the Arab world and it suggest that I do. But you are right I am Cypriot, not Greek.
+Maximus25N that's why I was saying that there is a mixture. There are some Cypriots who look Greek European (as you can see the photos in the video) and some Cypriots who look like you. "Arab/Asian/Middle-Eastern" looking. You're not "ethnic Greek" as far as blood. Greeks look white, some are darker white, but NOT "Asian" looking really. So the point again is that Cyprus has a mixture...and variations. So you should stop saying that you're "Greek". Just say you're Cypriot, with Arab blood etc. People will understand that better. And that's really the truth, it seems, from what you're saying.

Cyprus-Britains grim Legacy - The Full Documentary
This UK tv Channel 4 documentary was transmitted in 1984. I recorded it back then and glad that I saved it for the past 31 years. Should be of interest to anyone ...
Grivas was the wrong person for such venture. He was a collaborator during
the German occupation of Greece and was responsible for many murders in
cold blood. He targeted resistance fighters and took an oath of allegiance
to Hitler. The British knew about his treasonous past. Still they used him
when they landed. They found him useful to fight against the partisans who
were till then supported by Churchill - being he only effective fighting
force in Greece during the occupation. However, as they were against the
return of the foreign king, suddenly they became the enemy. The foreign
kings that the British and Americans imposed on the Greek people were
ousted eventually after about 20 years.
Anyone who is watching this remember to take into account how one sided
this is, the Turks of Cyprus faced an excessive amount of persecution from
the Greeks both mainland and Cypriot and this documentary leaves out a lot
of that just to portray the Greeks as the only victims
+Rebekah Ali Handa EOKA did not target any Turks before Dektash and his misguided followers began to make demands for "taksim". The British succeeded in turning the confict in to a Greek-Turkish issue. Naturally, as the memory of brutal Ottoman rule was still vivid in the memory of many elderly Greeks, it was not difficult to make simple-minded individuals from either side turn against each other.
FUCK the Turks and FUCK the British....... Lets not forget that thug and
war criminal Kissinger who played his part in 1974. FUCK Kissinger and may
this scum of a German Jew rot in hell for the blood that stains his
hands.... and the murderous regimes which he supported and encouraged.
