British Lords observe situation in Northern Cyprus

06.04.2007


A group from the House of Lords visits to see for themselves

Lords Maginnis, Harrison and Ahmet recently came to Northern Cyprus as members of the Friends of Northern Cyprus in order to observe the situation concerning tourism investments in various regions of Northern Cyprus and to meet with President Mehmet Ali Talat. As they were discussing the Cyprus Problem, the Lords stressed the necessity of the Turkish Cypriots making greater efforts to explain the reality of Cyprus to the outside world in a more coordinated way.

Ready to help
Lord Maginnis drew attention to the fact that the Turkish Cypriots had a real problem of communicating with the world while the Greek side has very effective and efficient lobbying activities going on almost constantly.

Stating that they were ready to help the Turkish Cypriots by means of explaining their current situation and the problems related to the Cyprus issue to the European Union and to British authorities, Lord Maginnis also stressed the importance of the Northern Cypriot representative in London having to determine a future strategy and to start undertaking studies in accordance with this strategy. He also emphasised the importance of the Turkish Cypriot side taking a more effective role in external, world politics.

Saying that the Turkish Cypriot side has to inform the world about their side of the Cyprus Problem in response to the information that is presented to the world by the Greek Cypriot side, Lord Maginnis said that the Turkish Cypriot successes in the Orams’ Case and concerning the advertisement issue in Britain lead him to believe that the Turkish Cypriot side will also be able to gain the upper hand in discussions about the Direct Trade Regulations.

After saying that they are aware of the positive, constructive attitude of the Turkish Cypriot side concerning a solution of the Cyprus Problem, Lord Maginnis said that they would send a letter to European Union authorities containing the above mentioned ideas about the Cyprus issue.

Isolations should be lifted
Lord Harrison said that they are willing to do anything they can in order to support the Turkish Cypriots in their rightful action. Saying that they are ready to help the Turkish Cypriots in improving their relations with EU and other countries, he mentioned that the Turkish Cypriot side has to take advantage of every situation.

Lord Ahmet stated that Turkish Cypriot society is important for Britain and that the isolations on the Turkish Cypriots should immediately be lifted. Pointing out the importance of starting the direct flights he said: “We want the problem about the direct flights to be solved in a short period of time. When this problem is solved then there will be many more tourists coming to Northern Cyprus.”

Or are they just selling lies of hope to Turkish speaking Cypriots. Is this not unethical that the British, members of an EU state, supporting the illegal and fake regime of the trnc whislt 900,000 EU/ Cyprus ctitizens are having their human rights violated by the very same regime these British Fuckers are supporting. Then again what is so ethical about Britain anyway. The RoC ought to exell the British embassy from Cyprus Now.

Humanist dont get your knickers in a twist. This is just 3 members of the House of Lords expressing their opinion.
It does NOT represent an entire nations view of the Cyprus issue.
Take a chill pill mate

[Biker]

Lets be honest, anybody saying that

"Turkish Cypriot society is important for Britain..."

Has got to be a complete twat anyway and the whole thing isn't worth mentioning.

Unless of course you're an anal-no-life idiot who spends their life trying to find some minor point to bitch about.

[BOF]

Humanist as has been stated these are but three people in an unelected house......but to be fair they only talk of Turkish Cypriots - no mention of TURKEY?
I thought you were in Favour of re unification with your cypriot brothers ?
Well look around you my friend, Turkey is never going to leave Cyprus and eventually T.C's will dissapear under a wave of settlers and just become Turks. perhaps you need to attack those that have you by the B**ls my friend.

[humanist]

Well Biker, got our nickers in a twist have we???? Welll they do say that truth hurts. If you think that the Cyprus problem is a minor thing to talk about I suggest you look at your priorities Biker, there are 200,000 refugees in Cyprus in 2007, and 800,000 od thousand who do not have access to half of their country, so pls do not patronise me by your British ignorant coments. We have 90,000 turkish speaking cypriots that are economically isolated. Can you even begin to imagine what that is like????? so if that is a small minor point to bitch about then I am happy to wear the label you place on me.

The reality is that the British for their selfish reasons fucked cyprus up and this yet another ploy by the British government to bring partition to this land.

Three dickheads in the house of lords can do a lot of damage. Not once did they mention Unification in the article. I personally do not trust the British government as far as I can throw them and I am weary of their actions. The Blair woman chose to represent the Oram's on a political issue to thuis end I have no trust in Blairs intentions and Britains for that matter,

I want unification yes, and I would support a fair and just plan to lead us to that. However as far as the British go, their intentions are different and they actually lie out of their teeth a couple of months ago it was stated to the Turkish Speaking Leadership that direct flights to the occupied north of cyprus were not an option as the RoC governement makes decisions on legal ports of the Island, so they are either contradicting themselves or leading turkish cyriots to believe that direct flights can and will occur, in any case lying to a group of people who are living the brunt of international economic embargo, how fair is that?

I don't know about these three turds but a former chairman of the "friends of northern cyprus" told me when I met him socially some years ago (he was my MP) that he hoped the Cyprus problem would be sorted soon because it would greatly enhance the value of his house in the north. To be fair to the money grabbing bastard I think he had pre 1974 deeds. He claimed that settlers were necessary to help with the harvest but his knowledge of the Cy Prob was patchy and obviously very one sided. It would be interesting to know how many of these "friends of northern cyprus" have property on the island.

Lord Maginnis is an Ulster representitive...help that tells you the ethics of the man.

As a 'Brit' I despise the British government and agree that this defense of the occupied areas by members of The House of Lords is immoral.

Therefore don't tarnish the 'British' in general with the same actions. We have no say in anything that happens, one of the many reasons we want a new government.

Lord Maginnis is an Ulster representitive...help that tells you the ethics of the man.

Wasn't even aware that this individual was made a LORD , which proves what an archaic system the House of Toffs has turned out to be.
