Nation need something to be proud of

I totally agree with John Russell, regarding a lack of national identity in Cyprus (Sunday Mail, September 13). It pervades almost all society – there’s a lack of pride in things ‘Cypriot’ (and we have a lot to be proud of – our archaeological and architectural heritage for a start – also the amazing amount of talent in today’s performing arts.

But even worse (speaking as a naturalised Cypriot), when Cypriots refer to themselves as Greek… No, we are Cypriots and I am proud to be one.
