      I see nothing wrong there. We Turks did come from Mongolia. And yes, Cyprus has been Greek since the late bronze age.

      There’s nothing wrong with Greek Cypriots identifying as Greek or Turkish Cypriots identifying as Turkish. What I find ridiculous is how certain people here insist on pushing their own idea of their Cypriot identity as if it’s the only correct path, while mocking or criticising anyone who sees themselves differently. At the end of the day, that’s just a personal belief, not a universal truth. Trying to erase history and tell others what they’re “allowed” to feel or identify as is arrogance, plain and simple.

      And honestly, this match was the first time I saw peace and Tranquility between teams and their supporters in an actual competitive match, let people enjoy the moment, and ignore whatever the Facebook boomers have to say.

      Because if we get rid of our identity and all sing kubaya, it will definitely force the Turkish army to end its occupation.

      You people are beyond saving.

      Why is it weird for Turkish Cypriots to identify as Turkish but not Greek Cypriots it identify as Greek? Double standard much?

      1. The anthem is not one of the reasons why we have the Cyprus Problem if that’s what your implying in the first screenshot.
      2. Perennial Internet users, including on here, are not the best gauge for you to understand why things are the way they are in Cyprus or anywhere else.

      Performative nationalism on social media is as much of a symptom of the Cyprus problem as it is an expression of its cause. When a random Greek or Turk spams flags and bold statements, the implicit notion is not simply that they’re expressing their ideology, but that they intend to clash with an expected response by their ideological rivals.

      There was actually a compelling study on football fans in Cyprus some time ago where it’s argued that the use of symbols like swastikas or the hammer and sickle are often done to provoke and antagonize their perceived „other“. This social media posturing is more or less an expression of that, only more people engage in it because there are little to no serious repercussions for being obnoxious or even extremist online.
