Brief Remarks on Cypriot Identity with Marios Prodromou: Member, World Genius Directory (2)
*Please see the footnotes, bibliography, and citation style listing after the interview.*
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What is Cypriot identity?
Marios Prodromou[1],[2]*: There are Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots. Duality exists among Cypriot identity.
Jacobsen: How is Cypriot identity seen to the Turks?
Prodromou: They call themselves Turkish-Cypriots and have the same rights as Greek-Cypriots.
Jacobsen: How is Cypriot identity seen to the Greeks?
Prodromou: Same as above.
Jacobsen: How has intercommunal violence played out in terms of self-identity of Cypriots?
Prodromou: The past has left a lot of scars on both communities.
Jacobsen: What is the origin of Cypriot self-consciousness outside of, if not parallel with, the nation-state?
Prodromou: If you are born in a Greek family you receive an ID card as a Greek-Cypriot. If you are born in a Turkish family your ID card would say Turkish-Cypriot. Both categories have the same rights and you can get a Cyprus Passport and travel freely in the EU
Jacobsen: How is Christian identity tied to Cypriot identity?
Prodromou: Nearly all Greek-Cypriots are Christian
Jacobsen: How does this play out in practical terms for the well-off and the poor alike with Cypriot heritage?
Prodromou: The church wins.
Jacobsen: Are there many remnants of British identity leftover in Cypriot identity?
Prodromou: We have a third class of British-Cypriots. Most of them get a Cyprus ID card but keep their British Passport. I fall into this category.
Jacobsen: For Famagusta, Kyrenia, Lamaca, Limassol, NIcosia, and Paphos, are there district differences in ways in which the Cypriot self-identity expresses itself in social and cultural life? If so, how? If not, why not?
Prodromou: No. Cyprus is a population of less than a million. 90 mins drive from one side of the island to another. People mix with one another every day.
Jacobsen: What is the core philosophy inherent in the identity of a Cypriot?
Prodromou: The love for Cyprus. An island with a lot of history. The island of love and of Aphrodite and Dionysos.
Jacobsen: Thank you for the opportunity and your time, Marios.
Prodromou: Thank you too, Scott, it’s been a real pleasure.

*High range testing (HRT) should be taken with honest skepticism grounded in the limited empirical development of the field at present, even in spite of honest and sincere efforts. If a higher general intelligence score, then the greater the variability in, and margin of error in, the general intelligence scores because of the greater rarity in the population.
