Who is responsible?
Reading sometimes becomes very tiring. Nazım Beratlı is a Turkish Cypriot medical doctor, journalist, author, researcher and historian. Most of the time I disagree with what he writes, but I love reading his work as I, I must confess, learn a lot from him. In a recent article on the flood in Northern Cyprus last week which claimed the lives of four young people and devastated the recently completed new Kyrenia-Nicosia highway, he wrote that even in “Excerpta cypria,” by Claude Delaval Cobham published in 1908, it was claimed that Cypriots were ignorant and lazy people who had the habit of putting the blame of whatever that went wrong on someone else.
