Cypriot Maronite Arabic- Sanna Part 1

Cypriot Maronite Arabic, still spoken by most of the 130 elderly Maronite Catholics in Kormakiti (Korucam) in northern Cyprus, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Brought to the island by Maronite fleeing Lebanon at least 700 to 1400 years ago, a very unique group of people.
For those who are from Cyprus, I would understand what you have against the Turks. But to have something against these people is wrong! It is believed that Cyprus, and Malta were first inhabited by the Phoenicians. Till this day half of the Maltese population has Phoenician DNA. On the other hand, Cyprus does not unfortunately, a very low percentage. This is because the Greeks and many other kinds of people have invaded the island time and time again when on the hand Malta has only seen a hand full of invasions threw out the millenniums, luckily.
The Cypriot Maronites come from Lebanon, rather your a Muslim or Christian Lebanese, you are Phoenician and should not be sucked into the media and loose your culture to Arabism. So the Cypriot Maronites fled Lebanon to Cyprus the same way our Phoenician ancestors have done so and how we still do! For example: the summer war. I care deeply for Cyprus and all the inhabitants that belong on the island (meaning get out Turkey)! As for the Cypriot Maronite Community, they should be very proud; speaking a slightly mixed language although still holds the principles of the Phoenician dialect and Aramaic language! It is heavily practiced in the Maronite church threw prayer and communities; this is how it survived for so long.

M. Drousiotis : The case of the Ambient Atmosphere - Μ. Δρουσιώτη " Η Περιρρέουσα Ατμόσφαιρα"


In October 2004, President of the Republic Tassos Papadopoulos publicly charged that people and organisations in Cyprus were paid by the United States through UNOPS to promote the ‘yes’ vote in the referendum of 24 April 2004.
For an entire month, this was the leading item on the news. At the end of this whole debate, all that was retained by public opinion was that, indeed, some people in Cyprus took money from the US in order to support the Annan plan.
The bribing of people and organisations in the period before the referendum is often cited as an argument by both journalists and politicians, as if this was an unquestionable reality.
The present investigation, based on all available primary sources and an evaluation of the information broadcast by the TV channels and published in newspapers, proves that this ‘reality’ was constructed by the government’s propaganda machine, the television channels and government-friendly press.

Τον Οκτώβριο του 2004, ο πρόεδρος της Δημοκρατίας Τάσσος Παπαδόπουλος, κατάγγειλε δημόσια ότι άτομα και οργανισμοί στην Κύπρο χρηματοδοτήθηκαν από τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, μέσω της UNOPS, για να προωθήσουν το «ναι» στο δημοψήφισμα της 24ης Απριλίου 2004.
Για ένα ολόκληρο μήνα, το ζήτημα αυτό ήταν πρώτο θέμα στην επικαιρότητα. Ύστερα από όλη αυτή τη συζήτηση, εκείνο που έμεινε στην κοινή γνώμη είναι πως, πράγματι, κάποιοι στην Κύπρο πήραν χρήματα από τις ΗΠΑ για να υποστηρίξουν το σχέδιο Ανάν.
Ο χρηματισμός ατόμων και οργανισμών, την περίοδο προ του δημοψηφίσματος, εγείρεται συχνά ως επιχείρημα από δημοσιογράφους και πολιτικούς. ως να πρόκειται για αδιαμφισβήτητη πραγματικότητα.
Η έρευνα αυτή αποδεικνύει ότι η «πραγματικότητα» αυτή είναι κατασκευασμένη από το μηχανισμό προπαγάνδας της κυβέρνησης, τα τηλεοπτικά κανάλια και τον φιλοκυβερνητικό τύπο.
