  6. As much as I dislike Turks, I can’t say that I feel sorry for these Cypriots. Screw those guys. I’ve been to Cyprus three times, and there’s always been instances of young Greek Cypriot nationalists beating up tourists on the beaches of even 5-star hotels (since beaches can’t be private in Cyprus). They would come out of nowhere, interfere with beach activity like volleyball, start a fight, mug people for their money and belongings, and then the tourist would just leave to not escalate things. And the police never shows up, at least I’ve never seen them arrive after such incidents.

  7. Bunch of cave fucks, i hope she sues the fuck out of them and teach them a lesson. Even tho people like that are probably braindead, i hope she follows up against them and give them what they deserve

  9. So now we have cypriots beating up cypriots. Great well done. There’s probably a good 400k of cypriots left in the whole island but let’s attack each other now. Wonderful times

  14. As a Turk i was in Paphos a week ago and was so suprised how good the people be with me and most of them were greeks and they didn’t even bother that i was a Turk, they treated me the same as them.

    Never thought i wouldeve seen something like this..

  16. Sounds like they tried to pick her up and turned to violence when rejected. Shame that because of shits like this, all women have to have carry fear with them of something like this happening.

  19. Making my blood boil… All the efforts for reconciliation from both sides, just… Wasted. All because some stupid fucking apes cannot control themselves. And guess which stories make the news. Take a wild fucking guess which stories paint a picture for the general population even if they’re committed by a minority!
    Jesus fucking Christ… I’m sick and tired of this country. Maybe it’s just unsalvageable…

  20. One can easily assume by reading the comments that these animals’ actions don’t represent the rest of (most) greekcypriots’ views. Sadly, like cockroaches, extremists can be found under many rocks. The greek cypriot government instantly condemned them and what they did. Prosecution is moving fastly and the news quickly got on it by condemning the crime as well. Hatred and its expressions disgust most of us, as it should and I’m happy to see that this the case socially. Intererestingly I note that I’ve heard many right wing greekcypriots and their representatives getting pissed with what they did, rather than passively aggressively not commenting, or even siding with them, which someone would expect. But, sadly noticing the far right wing silently growing.
    I see this as another opportunity to stand against fundamentalism as united cypriots.
    Deeply sorry and ashamed as a greek cypriot.
    May they rot in prison.

  21. Apparently this girl and her guy friends went to Ayia Napa carrying a bat.

    We should wait for all evidence before we judge.

    But since people are guessing what happened, here is my guess: Two groups of stupid teenagers had a fight, which is common for Ayia Napa, and this girl was injured as a result of the fall. Just another night in Ayia Napa, but because she is a TC it became headline news.

  23. This is from her facebook page I translated for you guys

    This was one day ago:

    “On Friday evening, I went to Ayia Napaya on the Greek side to have fun with my friend(f). On the way back, I was harassed by 3 Greek men.I tried to refuse them but when they realized that i was speaking turkish they started punching me. Then they threw me down from a wall about 2 meters high. I don’t remember because I fainted, but those who saw me there called the ambulance, but when I went to the hospital they said I was fine. I went to the Greek police and filed a lawsuit. My front two teeth were broken, the left side of my face was crushed, swollen and bruised. Then I came to the Turkish side and had my teeth done by Dr. Emine Karaşahin. Then I went to Famagusta state hospital. They told me that my finger was broken, but they said that I could not get a battering report because the incident took place in the south. Then I went to Famagusta Police and they said they could not help me and that I should go to Nicosia police. The Greek police asked me for a report that I had seen a doctor. I called Dr. Mustafa Kalfaoğlu on his personal phone because he was close with my family and I thought he could help me. But he told me in a very bad tone that he could not deal with these things. While I was trying to explain that I could not get a report from the hospital, he interrupted me and hung up the phone briefly (by being a douchebag). I am a victim and how can I expect the Greek government to defend me when my own Turkish nation does not defend me? In this country, the life of a person is even more insignificant than Turkish money, shame on you all”

    And she posted this today:

    “I rebelled with the shock of the incident, but it was the first time in my life that I had to face such incident. I do not want this incident to turn into any tension and hostility between the two communities. The Greek Cypriot police intervened as soon as the complaint was made and arrested the attackers. I would like to thank all the authorities, both in the south and in the north, who took care of the incident.”

  24. This cannot be tolerated. The RoC must take this seriously not only to maintain relations but also because we have to stop violence against women. We need to reevaluate how we treat each other in every direction, age, gender, language, etc. Why is kindness so hard for some people?

  25. As disgusting as the initial articles and post seem, as usual, there is more to the story. The initial description made it seem like two guys randomly beat up a random girl out of nowhere, but video footage shows that everyone involved played a role in escalating the situation and the resulting outcome.

    There were more people involved on both sides, and some people from the girls’ side went back to their car and took out what seems to be a bat or a weapon, and then returned to the group, who were in a raised area. This sparked more physicality and the girl ended up being pushed back too far and off the narrow path they were standing on.

    There is no excuse for their actions, or for the actions of the authorities the girl contacted and did nothing, but the media really doesn’t give an accurate picture.

    Hopefully both policing authorities can finally work together to ensure justice is served where it should, and that the girl’s injuries heal swiftly.

    More than that though, mainstream media needs to be more transparent with their descriptions, rather than sensationalising articles for clicks. It really is unbearable.
