More GC propaganda, to try to excuse themselves for all the TC monuments they have destroyed or neglected.

Go and see Kyrenia Castle for yourself to see the truth.

I believe the GC's have received lots of funding to repair and replace whereas due to political embargoes etc we get very little. Perhaps Juliet you can protest to the RoC to allow more money to flow in for these needed projects?

What goes on all the time in the UK? GC thugs wrecking TC cemeteries?

I really think you have lost the plot. And if you had any in the first then your credibility has reached -50 on the 'sensibility of postings' scale.

Dear AJ re msg 9

Limas(s)ol has PLENTY of Syrian, Iraqi, Saudi and Lebanese folk who either live or have property. They attend Mosques - if that is their religion, and they get buried in the cemeteries.



Cyprus enjoys very good relations with Arabic countries.



Not for the first time, recently, you have got it "wrong" re the attitude of Cypriots - esp in Limas(s)ol - who are amongst the most multi- culturally experienced..



I'd say they are far more tolerant than most nationalities who have such high numbers of foreigners.



Unfortunately every "village" has it's idiots.. but don't try and make capital or label the majority as thugs..



The "rump" RoC takes a VERY hard line with any GC who is found abusing a TC.. they can't afford the bad publicity, and the press is open enough that the incidents get reported..



That's why we are discussing it.

RE msg 1, juliet : (...) why have these not been looked after in the last 34 years!? (...)



===> You talk malicious rubbish, Juliet. Spreading rumours like you do is more damaging to the TRNC and its monuments than the sea and the weather do to Kyrenia Castle. But hey, that's your main aim, isn't it? Why don't you take the time to have a look yourself; you don't need 34 years - 3,4 hours are enough. I happen to know a thing or two about the past and present of the monuments you mention and also about the international institutions working hard on the preservation. But I won't give *you* any details - your gossip might tricker the authorities in the South to ruin another well meant initiative in the North.

Juliet and all,



A very good friend of mine used to be a Tour Guide at the Castle. I have spoken to him regarding this article, and he has said, unfortunately, it is right.



I live in Dublin (Ireland), so in all honesty, I don't know... But I trust the opinion of my friend who has a deep love for history and ancient buildings.



Perhaps a less passionate approach needs to be taken, and a more practical approach of conservation needs to be looked at.



Thanks,

AJ, as I said, I am living (and from) Dublin, so therefore (as I am not in NC), I am interested in your opinion on my friend's take on the article (see Message 23).

I honestly don't know the state of the Castle, but as in my previous message, I trust my friend's opinion (the former Castle Guide).

Have you been to the Castle lately? I'm not being confrontational at all, but with all due respect, as in most of the world, Heritage sites are often last thought of for funding and protection...

Kyrenia Castle is beautiful and is part of the landscape of NC. It needs to be protected and proactively conserved.

I've asked my friend to take a look at it in the next few weeks, so then, I will have a more informative opinion.

Thanks, Y

Preservation of Cyprus historical building a such as Kyrenia Castle is vitally important and unfortunately underfunded at present.



Perhaps in the spirit of cooperation more EU and even ROC funding could be contributed and expertise provided to help do so.

Yep I am a regular visitor to Girne castle if only to show visitors and family the wonderful heritage of Cyprus. If you are not aware of the collaboration between GC's and TC's with respect to the worlds oldest shipwreck that is housed in the castle and the EU funding that has been given for the upkeep of the castle then you need to re-aquaint yourself with what is going on in the TRNC.

Hi AJ, yes, I remember the tour of the oldest shipwreck in the world. Or that is what I was told.

I honestly don't need to 're-acquaint myself' with what is going on there. I live here, so I don't pretend to know more than I do. But when a friend of mine, who, I repeat, was a Tour Guide at the Castle (the subject of this conversation, I trust?) ie The Castle?), tells me they are concerned about the Castle, I listen to them.

I will re-acquaint myself with TRNC when I am in a fortunate position to do so. In the meantime, reality for me.

how to restore and preserve monuments and churches in north cyprus





end the spiteful blockade so as to show true sincerity in the current talks



make some compromises so that an agreement is possible



accept the guarantor stays to protect the people because you lot scare them



accept the idea of compensation for ALL cypriots who fled their homes



respect your co-islanders and show understanding not confrontation



after a certain period of simmering embrace the new bizonal state:



monuments now being restored as if by magic, any vandals arrested



easy?

Why have you all got your knickers in a twist over the Juliet's posting the member legitimatley drew attention to the need for increased funding for preservation works to ancient monuments.

The TRNC is trying to do that within the limited budget they have available thats ok nothing wrong.

Nige it was that drew attention to the desecration of cemetry and it was explained that it was a one off by thugs very sad but probablly true.

Also true that some GC cemetrys here have been desecrated.

So whats the problem?

Do you really think either the TRNC government or the ROC government employes people to post on boards either side of the cease fire line.

its was not long ago that poor old marky marky was accused of being an agent provocoteur with a name like Demetrious.

I am sorry ut if a post dosent fit withing your parameters either ignore it or argue constructivley without resorting to insults.

Having said that i still think my good adversery the Sad Crusader smells of cheese.

VERY interesting posts and valid posts from Hippo and Yvonne, but what is the new game ?



Shoot the messenger .... some folk on here need to take your blinkers off.. !!



Andre: What "spiteful blockade" .. do you mean the UN Security Council Resolution?



Did you know the EU spends MORE money per capita in "north" Cyprus than in the "rump" RoC?



Clarets: How do you draw "xenophobic" tendencies from Juliets posts ?



It would appear Juliet is correct, but what to do? It is pointless us behaving like badly behaved playground kids..



Juliet, I expect if this part of CY got more tourists they'd have more money to re-invest.

I know the EU send alot of money to help renovate the monuments etc in the north, but the castle & walls seem to be getting missed out for some strange reason......!!!

Dear Clarets



I know you are a wise man.. so PLEASE try and see beyond the "race" thing.. "Juliet" is a Cypriot and her family has property in the north.



If you ask most GCs the std answer you'll get it is "we don't have a problem with Turkish Cypriots - we want the TR army to go home"..



I know she is in the minority here, but as far as most of the world is concerned she is highlighting the plight of an important Cypriot heritage site.. I don't think she prophesies"diplomatic skills" .. nor did I think it was a pre-requistive for membership ;)

Ref message 4

FOREIGN MINISTER AVCI: ‘WE CONDEMN THE RACIST ATTACKS EVEN TO THE GRAVE OF A 3 YEARS OLD BABY’

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Turgay Avci, stated that the attacks to the Turkish Cypriot religious and cultural heritage in the Greek Side have been observed to increase. Avci especially condemned the attacks even to the grave of a 3 years old Turkish Cypriot baby in Asagibinatli village.

Avci underlined that the racist attacks were increasing in the Greek side to Turkish Cypriot religious and cultural heritage in current days and added that in the attacks to Asagibinatli Turkish Cypriot graveyard and gravestones were ruined.

Avci pointed out that the Greek Orthodox Church is poisoning the Greek Cypriot Youngsters with the ideology of racism and this is promoting the lack of confidence between the two peoples in the island and added that rather than teaching young Greek Cypriots peace and sharing, (continued in next posting)

It's not falling down, but could do with some TLC, so please can someone end this thread as, in my humble opinion, I think the title screams 'propaganda'.

There's no need for it to go on, and on, and on, and on....

The Castle, please God, will be fine, if taken care of my the Heritage Societies out there. No need to continue to talk about it, more like time for action.

Just let's put it to rest.

what was that you said to someone about them doing themselves a disservice?!



Suggest you do a little more research before reaching for the "bias" label..



This poster is WELL aware of atrocities committed by both sides...and has visited many of the places north and south..



IF you took the time to do a little research, you might even have realised that this poster had spent not a little time with inter communal groups who dealt with reconciliation initiatives.



If you want to continue "quote" one sided publications and use it as an example of why TCs and GCs can never live together - carry on - One day I hope you will come to realise that isn't "helping" NOW.



Folks that really DO think out of the box aren't living in the horrors and mistakes of the past.. !

If you care to look at my vocation,you would no doubt realise that I deal with the results of atrocities when they occur,along with those of my profession.I have seen and dealt with more "atrocities" than you have had "hot dinners".

I am as keen on initiatives to build a lasting peace on this island as you claim to be.You really must do YOUR homework,before you assume that I have some vested interest in ignoring the horrors of the past....they should not be ignored,nor forgotten.Not to learn from history.....is folly indeed!

If you are SERIOUSLY able to have looked at the CY Q from both sides of the coin, you would NOT be harping on about this divisive and BLATENTLY one-sided book.



It is especially surprising considering your vocation, that you would "accuse" folk of "not thinking out of the box" or be darn right rude to Juliet.



I even doubt you know what I have seen experienced re physical actions of violence in some sort of "cause" - be it in N.Ireland , Middle East, Ukraine, Russia..



The moment one person commits an act in the name of their cause, they normally create the need for revenge.



Exceptional people.. and I don't count myself as one - but I've met 'em - don't need to bring up the horrors of the past . Especially, if you remember, this is about Kyrenia Castle's state of dis-repair

Hipps.

'Aj I am suprised at you an educated pearson posting such a raceily loaded post.'

Not my words Hipps and the article is freely available in the press. Just using it to make a point.

Dear mmmmm,you exhibit your arrogance in a way I find quite perplexing.You obviously do not understand the concept of binocular vision,and view things with a curiously neuropaenic,glaucomatous view(I make no apologies for the medical terminology...you will just have to look the meaning of the words up!)Both sides of the coin ,I do see,which cannot obviously be applied to you."Exceptional people,dont need to bring up the horrors of the past",is laughable,but for its unfortunate sadness.Exceptional people are ALWAYS the ones who learn from the past,and I guess you wouldnt know one if you were sat drinking his wine or eating his food.It would appear that you emanate from an undereducated part of the world,where nobody recognises their own shortcomings!

Dear Clarets



Luckily this "dimwit" took Latin "O" level ( at 14 ) along with R.E at the "skool for bakword and diffilkult wee gits"..so no need to look it up.. My Brain and eyesight are just fine, thanks.



I note, again ,that you are incapable of focusing your intellect on the matter in hand - Kyrenia Castle.



So you'll be aware of the pseudo latin phrase.. " noli illegitimi carborundum " ..



Your posts suggest there may well be a negative correlation between common sense and intelligence..

'have board rules not brocken ?'

You tell me, I regard this as intelligent debate (maybe pushing it a bit) but if any of the participating respondents complain then I guess we will have to re-assess the situation.

Just a break from the punch up, my brother works in the "Historic Property" business and lends some of his time as a consultant to English Heritage and he constantly tells me that very little govenment money comes in to renovate castles like Cardiff, kenilworth or Bolsover and if it wasn't for the lottery most of our historic treasures would be like nige's picture...............a pile of rubble.



If we can't look after our own what chance Cyprus.

Clarets, my reply to you hardly exercised any "grey matter" and was speedily responded to ..saw it when I came back from a wonderful romantic evening ..



You and Dee seem to think I must respond to your posts - as if they carry some special importance..
