I happen to be in #Greece where I've just found out that #Turkey has accepted the kind offer of the Republic of #Cyprus to help the Turkish Cypriots and others. A huge BRAVO to all involved!!! May #PEACE prevail in this geography from now on. Enough suffering for all... 🙏🌿🕊

Today marks a huge milestone in my life. The anniversary of the best decision I ever took! When my ex announced he did not want to assume any responsibility at all, I decided to take all of it alone, giving birth on this date & becoming a single mom in a small community w/taboos.

Today was a historic day as I registered my child to a Greek speaking public school for next year. There was a question in the form about what kind of Cypriot she is: GC, TC, etc. I asked my closest person if I could not choose all. He reminded me that I had to pick one by law...

Günaydın, καλημέρα! There can be no celebration over people's suffering. We are all human beings who have been suffering in this island. There should be no distinction as "us" vs. "them". We must wake up to find collective σωτηρία, or we will sleep forever in collective ızdırap.

The problem in #Cyprus actually starts from the minute we are born. We need to be classified by law as some kind of a Cypriot. And then we need to declare it officially once we reach mandatory schooling age. Can't we just be Cypriots?...

This small island has lost 50 of its children (48 Turkish Cypriots and 2 Greek Cypriots) in the past 1 month at incidents in Turkey & Greece. The amount of pain is not proportional to the number of deaths. It has never been in the island's history. All Cypriots suffer equally...

Today is #WorldGlaucomaDay . In fact the whole week is #glaucomaweek , to raise awareness on this leading cause of 👁️ loss, often mistakenly thought to affect old age only. We're fighting it the past 3yrs w/my 4yo w/routine check-ups every 2wks & a surgery every year so far... 💪🧿

The hashtag that all Turkish speaking Cypriots are using tonight is #isiaskatillerinem üebbet which means that we want life sentence for those responsible for the Isias Hotel where so many of our compatriots were trapped and killed!

I invited my father out to lunch today and he felt like it was father's day. I kept telling him no, that's next Sunday, but he kept on insisting... Perhaps he was right after all, as he was indeed holding in his hands the most precious gift that I have ever given to him... 🙏🧿💞

My biggest dream has become my biggest reality in life. All I ever wanted was a little girl like her; nothing more, nothing less... So grateful, you finally came into my life. Has been a tough year, but here we stand, stronger together. Happy very 1st birthday, Olivia!... 🙏🎈😇
