Hi, I'm Maria from Cyprus.
Hi I am Umut and I am from Cyprus.
Hi I'm Angelos, I am from Cyprus.
We are in the international airport of Nicosia.
It looks like a freezer.
It's creepy huh?
This is my first time here
and I am one of the lucky ones to be here.
It's very strange. It is all dead.
We're not talking about a very long period of time when you think about it.
How many years are we talking about?
In fact, it is a long period of time.
But it's not like its 100 years..
I am Turkish Cypriot and Angelos here is Greek Cypriot.
And we are here for peace.
And to share ideas about the new generation
We are the new generation, I believe
it is our choice now.
We cannot understand why our island is divided so we are questioning this.
And we don't want to leave this question to our children. We want to solve it as soon as possible.
Why should we live together Georgia?
I think one reason is that
Our Grandparents, they can live together
so we can live together
We prefer showing it in sketch
because I believe a picture is more than a thousand words
so we draw 'No Borders'.
I don't want to have to show my visa or my ID to go and see Eliana on the other side.
Common culture. Which is kebab, people singing and dancing.
We have common songs, a common history actually and a common food background. That's our life!.
We want to be the generation to change things and not keep the hatred going on like the older generations.
We want peace and one Cyprus, no bordering lines. So basically we want a union between us.
No tanks, no army.
And the last one- One President.
One President for the whole of Cyprus.
Cypriots!
We buried a hole in the ground in the Green line.
And we buried a box and the box was
..about ten ideas, about the ten different ideas why we should live together and not separately.
So we buried them and after ten years we are going to visit this place.
Even if the community speaks two different languages, we can adapt ourselves.
I can learn more Greek and Illiana can learn more Turkish.
Yeah. We believe in peace.
Come on, just face it. We are friends.
Yeah, we are friends.
And our parents used to be friends.
The truth? Ok, a solution is.. it is possible, I believe.
Why should we live together?
Why shouldn't we live together?
Yeah. Its so simple.
Cypriots!
