A MEDITERRANEAN FIRE

A MEDITERRANEAN FIRE

This fire has been burning since thousands of years in the east of the warmest, calmest and most secret sea.History states that first signs of line in cyprus were already present in the stone age, B:C 4000.This means, the fire of the mediterranean has been passed on from generation tao generation, until it has finally reached our present time.
This very old fire is now burning n us, who have given their soulds to cyprus, in the hearts of the population of today.
Who are thyis people?
Everyone who identifies their own faith with the faith of cyprus, simply everyone!
Turks…Greeks…Armenians…Maronites…Small minorities…Gypsies…
Even people who have moved to cyprus, whether to its North or to its sounth, after 1974, who have protected its individuality and added new movement to its history.
The mediterranean fire, which has been burning warmly and sometimes wildly, since 6000 years or perhaps even longer, has reached a never before seen popularity.
However, the simple truth is the following: today’s Cypriots are the last sparks of the once so strangly blazing fire.
Already the Cypriots living in the stone age, the brone age, the iron age, who later called themselves “Alashiyans”, and the hittites have had an enormous influence on cyprus development.These people have created history, and such additions have carried on and are stil continuing.
The mosaic formed by Egyptians, Akalarians, Dorlarians, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Persians, Macedonians, Ptolomeans, Byzantines, Romanians, Temple knights, Lusignans, Venetians, Turks and English is incredibly confusing.
The relatıonship between Turks and Greeks is the last, but most fragile link making up the chain of cypriot history.Both cultures deeply love cyprus and envy each other for their territories.If only they loved each other as much as they loved cyprus, and hence would no fall for the traps of its politics.If this could be reached, the Mediterranean fire could also burn brightly in the 20 th century and thus spread the warmth of happiness
