Have you rung the police station to report him then,what was he taking pictures of.We often stop the car and take photo's of anything and anyone,hoping to get a good picture for next years Flower Show at Ozankoy.Never really thought we might be looking suspicious.It's a worry for the swallows who's houses are empty for months on end,we must all be vigalant.

Dear Alice Cypwine. You are obviously looking through the wrong looking glass. The land in the North will shortly be declaired Turkish Cypriot and kept in reparation for the atrocities committed by the murderers in the south. When wil you lot get it that we are not going to be bullied by you lot ever again

'NOT SINCE THE GREED GOT THE BETTER OF THEM'

So much so that they felt the need to alter/falsify title deeds in favour of GC's thus denying true ownership rights to TC's.

Well said Mr Vince!!



I was at work the other day and a lecturer was trying to think of some topics to get discussion going in groups for students who were studying in the summer for access into University(As an Ice breaker)

He was printing off various things off the Internet and passing them to me for comments. I suggested that he use the North/South Cyprus issue by giving them cribs sheets of facts/issues/dilemmas for each side to debate.

Split them into groups. Give them time to digest the arguments and plan before the debate.



I was amazed that he did not even know that there was two sides to this argument! He knew only the Greek Cypriot perspective!

Luckily, the people I work with have open minds and when I sat and spent some time explaining the issues, dilemmas etc he became completely engrossed. A debate will now happen on the Cyprus issue.



I think that is an indication of what is actually known out there by people who do not have an interest one way or another....No

borodave,

If they stop the GC's from coming, no doubt the GC's will stop the TC's going South.

If that happens a lot grey imports into the TRNC, eg the food that is labeled Iceland and other UK food stuffs, would dry up. Then there will be big complaints. Also the Oranges and Lemons that are sent to the South would stop and thousands of tons would goto waste. Closing the border will cause more harm than good.

Dear Cypwine, regarding your message 22.



How can you say that the TC's have 102% more rights to be here than me, for example. If you listened to your GC's friends they would, if they were honest, refute the TC's right to exist. This was demonstrated during the period leading up to 1974 when the Turkish Army upheld the Constitution of Cyprus by intervention to avoid both Civil War between the Greek speaking side and ethnic cleasing of the Turk speaking minority. Turkey did not invade Cyprus. As a defending power of Cyprus, as enshrined in its constitution, Turkey stopped the wholescale slaughter of both GC's and TC's. There has been 35 years of peace and quiet since. Check your history and tell me when Cyprus last has 35 years of peace.



Yes there are too many soldiers here but their presence make me feel secure because the GC's still have designs of this part of this island. Untill the GC's proclaime that they want peace and mutual respect then the Turkish army will stay

As far as I can see, the Greeks have never beaten the Turks in battle since the Trojan War, and then they were sneeky hiding inside a horse. I think that Greeks and by association GC's have an historical inferiority comlex going all the way back to the Trojan Wars. The most beatifull woman in the world we are told, left her Greek husband for a Turk. Do Turkish men have something that Greek men admire? or envy?

I've said it before but here goes again.



If the Greek Cypriots had behaved themselves before 1974 and not treated the Turkish Cypriots like second class citizens, and eventually started a programme of ethnic cleansing against the Turkish Cypriots, then the Turkish Army would not have had to come in to protect them, and the Greek Cypriots would he living happily ever after in their properties north of the Atilla Line.

cypwine,

how very tragic, I feel for you....



My parents cannot go back to their village because it was demolished and set fire to. All that remains is some rubble and the trees and grass that have grown in that area.



When the villagers petitioned the E.U about our lost village the greek cypriots insisted that they had documents that it was a place where animals where kept- no people lived there.



They soon proved differently, and now the villagers have again petitioned for our rights.



No matter what you say or think YOU are all brainwashed and turk haters.

Both North and South need to come to understand this..This is a divided island,The North is Known as the TRNC..



and it seems that is how it will remain..a Part of Turkey..Because Turkey came to save the people living here..

Free health care

EU identity cards

Employment

social security

cheaper flights (larnaca).



your statement shows how much you know about cyprus try asking a turkish cypriot if they agree in stopping greeks crossing.

Hundreds of Greek Cypriots stayed in the Karpas and of course there were the Maronites who stayed on in Kormakitis.



Many Turkish Cypriots stayed south of the Atilla line, mainly in Limassol and Pafos.

Cypwine,



Like everyone on here has said the GCs will not be getting everything they want and will have to face facts that the "good old days" are well over for you.



I'm sure before the 1974 intervention by Turkey there were attrocities comitted by GCs.



You sure did start something and Turkey sure did finish what you started.



Get over it, the vast majority of GCs are never going to get more than the compensation the ECHR has decreed should be fairly paid by the local North Cyprus property comission.



This Orams case is just a political game of cat and mouse. There is no way every GC with a beef will get their legal fees paid by the ROC as it is not posible as the ROC couldn't aford it.



Whatever the outcome of the Orams case it will only serve to give a little more hot air for the GCs. I can't see it opening the floodgates for every GC to go to the ECJ to start claims as the average GC can't afford £100k+ minimum for legal fees to get the case to a full court hearing.

Mr Vince

Good point

I suggest to get a good picture of what happened in 1974 read the book: The Genocide Files (I undertand it is not available in the South). The term 'troubles' does not indicate the gravity of the situation in relation to the Genocide which took place. As I understand it, had the term Genocide been used (as it has recently in other conflicts in the Balkans) then International law and International Agencies would have been involved, so the term Genocide was not used.

Dear Mr Vince re 25



If you check out Annan, TCs living on island were given more rights than GCs and non locals. They are called abrogations and they were temporary "breaches" of HR norms to allow TCs to feel "safe" with "only" 950 TR troops on island .



It stopped GCs from moving where they liked in the "TC zone"



It allowed( for example ) local TCs to take priority for rehousing or to be allowed to stay longer - whilst an alternative property was found.

=> Your sense of humour is completely different from the Cypriot Turk Police. I can assure you that they come (and fast!) when you call them. I suggest every expat note down the phone number of your local police - and call them when you think it necessary ("out of fear and panic", of course... Haha! ).



P.S. I've got the impression that the Cypriot Turkish Police really loves to kick Greek speaking Cypriots (with cameras in non-touristic areas) out of TRNC! Well, the Police has my full support.

Hi Hans

Maybe they could deport them to Turkey, that might put the sh*t up them.

Mr Vince,

Troy is located in Turkey.



These are exerpts from wikipedia..



In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans after Paris of Troy stole Helen from her husband Menelaus, the king of Sparta.The war is among the most important events in Greek mythology.The Ancient Greeks thought the Trojan War was a historical event that had taken place in the 13th or 12th century BC, and believed that Troy was located in modern day Turkey near the Dardanelles. By modern times both the war and the city were widely believed to be non-historical. In 1870, however, German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated a site in this area which he identified as Troy; this claim is now accepted by most scholars



The link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_War





From what I know of Turkish history there were no turks in Turkey in those times....

As I said the last time I was in Troy it was in Turkey. It therefore stands to reason that the decendants of the people living in Troy are in fact Turks.





MMMMMM mesage 70



It would be nice to have the Turkish troops numbers reduced to the same number south of the BORDER. However do you think that that would deter any GC from starting up again? Friend of mine who live in Larnaca argue that there are only 30 Greek soldiers in ROC rump.??????

Do you not agree that to have a postponement of ones Human Rights in order to have positive discrimination in favour of TC's is an appalling inditment of what TC's had to suffer at the hands of their so called neighbours, and these are the neighbours who want us back within their control.

Dear Mr Vince



re msg 80



>>It would be nice to have the Turkish troops numbers reduced to the same number south of the BORDER<<



?? Do you mean to the same number of Greek ( real Grek not CG ) troops?? The make up is mainly Officers and training NCOs .. Really I do not know the true number but it is likely to be in the hundreds..not thousands..



Many Greeks serving in CY bring their own cars and you will not see too many LHD Greek reg'd cars..



>>Do you not agree that to have a postponement of ones Human Rights<<



I see it rather differently.. and if you cast your memory back 5 years - Annan Vote - TCs and a sizeable number of Turks who were allowed to vote felt it was a "risk" worth taking...



Don't get me wrong - of COURSE there were ( and still are ) extremist GCs who wanted TCs off the island.. but this is like saying to the Irish we can't have true peace because of the wishes of a few deluded folk who think they can achieve pure one sided ethnicity on a tiny islan

My Son is stationed in Cyprus and has a car with Greek number plates. He travels to the north a lot for diving. He has had a lot of problems with people attacking his car even though he has Union Jack flags and St George Stickers on it - Don't judge the person by the car!

Dear Katy



re msg 82



Do you mean your son has RoC reg'd number plated car or GREEK ?... There is a HECK of a difference...



I have driven over MANY times in RoC plated tourist ( red plate) and normal ( white front / yellow back) cars and NEVER, EVER had a bad experience - other than a silly comment from a young man - when passing down a Street in N.Nicosia.. WE just smiled back and said "Merhaba" and his friends joshed him...



Really, I don't doubt it happened... but your son was unlucky :(

=> In TRNC, I suppose? Expats, Cypriot Turks, Turks? When? Where? Until you provide us with the details I think your statement is unsubstantiated and worth nothing.

Yes, thick as I suspected.



It is the government that has suggested people call the police and take the car number, until they can pass the appropriate laws through parliament to stop theses opportunists’ from the southern state.



laws to prevent people taking photographs? do i also sense a panic within the government



by the way opportunists is wrong why dont you try international reconised title deed holders and legal owners according to the european courts.

Mr Vince,



you stated "As I said the last time I was in Troy it was in Turkey. It therefore stands to reason that the decendants of the people living in Troy are in fact Turks."



I dont see anyone here or elsewhere contending the fact that ancient Troy was in Turley.



IMy opinion is that the indigenous people of Turkey and anatolia did mix up to a point but Im sure the Trojans are not modern day turks.



My original posting was to refute your posting re msg 30

"As far as I can see, the Greeks have never beaten the Turks in battle since the Trojan War, and then they were sneeky hiding inside a horse. I think that Greeks and by association GC's have an historical inferiority comlex going all the way back to the Trojan Wars. The most beatifull woman in the world we are told, left her Greek husband for a Turk. Do Turkish men have something that Greek men admire? or envy?"



This was not a greco turkish war and Helen did not run off with a turkish male.



Sorry if Ive offended you

re message 55 Katymaken.

28 pages of text and pictures of the 1972 publication "The British Empire" are devoted to the "Cyprus Problem".

A sentence from this publication quotes " in 1964 anti-British feeling was inflamed by Labour leader Harold Wilson`s remark that Greek attacks on Turks were "supervised genocide"."
