      I always see comments here about how TCs will be allowed to fly the Turkish flag (like what GCs do with the Greek flag) and have portraits/statues of Ataturk up in the event of a reunification.

      And my question is, will that actually be the case? Will there not be a subset of people who are adamant that we not do that?

      Will this also not give fuel to the Mainland Turks who like to parrot the ‚GCs don’t care about TCs‘ narrative?

      Καλά έγινε, ο πατέρας του έθνους τους, ο σφαγέας του έθνους μας. (μαζί με τους αρμένιδες τζαι ασσύριους)

      > Distaste at Mustafa Kemal Ataturk among Pontic Greeks is sourced from the Greco-Turkish war, during which both sides committed sundry atrocities against one another, including massacres, torturing and the burning of towns and villages.

      > Amid those atrocities, Nikos Kapetanidis, a journalist from the Black Sea city of Rize who published a newspaper in Trabzon, was convicted and sentenced to death during the Amasya trials, which were carried out by the Turkish national movement, which at a national level was led by Kemal, in 1921 in the eponymous Black Sea town.

      > Kapetanidis was one of hundreds to be sentenced to death in Amasya, convicted of agitating for a Greek-led breakaway of the Black Sea region.

      Interesting.

      It should be renamed if it upsets the residents of the area who are refugees.

      It would be best to replace it with the name of another notable Turkish Cypriot from history. The other option is to give it a neutral name.

      Good, desrved and long overdue. A refugee neighbourhood does not need a street honouring the symbol of the same Turkish nationalist story used to excuse their uprooting. Let the usual Ankara fanboys cry about erasing history while GC villages, churches and names in the occupied areas get wiped like they never existed. Rename it twice if it annoys them that much
