Halil,

Please excuse my ignorance, but just what does the "TRNC" produces, that will be in big demand outside the "TRNC". I was under the impression, bost things are brought into the "TRNC", from Turkey. This is a serious question. I can see promoting tourism, but what else is there.

Thanks.

I have no opinion on this , as i am a Brit living here.
But I do think that the no vote, was what shot the south in the foot..

they now have the idea, that if europe wont help, we will take up friendship
with the arab countries.

As I said, I have leanings to either side ..
