@kikapu:
I understand your confussion , when one day tell you they starve from embargoes and the other day telling you the BMW agent has broken the record sales.
Well allow me to tell you my observations:
when denktash opened the gates I went there and I was trying to talk with as many as I could. Not only TCs but even Turks from Turkey.
At that time every TC I spoke was telling how dramatically low their number dropped it was estimated they were less than 80,000. Everybody was ready to leave... as they were too many unemployed.
Then the referendum came, then Cyprus's EU accession, and soon after the construction boom and selling of GC properties, and unemployement among TCs dropped dramatically after 6000 started crossing every day for work. It is true that you can see too many brand new Mercedeces and BMWs around in the occupied, and that makes you wonder if the Tcs are really poor. Of course you can also observe the rusted and fainted paint, second hand Renaults imported from Turkey, but the number of new cars is indeed noticeable. Needless to say that too many Tcs expats seem to be coming back en masse.
so from the opening of the gates by Denktash until today I think the standard of living of TCs has doubled.
Imo what contributed mostly to that is the selling of Gc properties.Imo again this is a fatal mistake that will make the Cyprus problem totally unsolvable, and have a huge impact on the next generation of TCs. This is a very-very unfortunate development....
Now if you take the matter politically this "new era" gave rise to the partitionists. In fact the feeling is "we are doing fine, look within 3 years we doubled our standard of living, all we miss is recognition, hence direct flights and tourists and we will surpass the GCs in no time. All of you stay together, support our cause and sooner or later we will have our own state. WE DO NOT NEED THE GCs ANYMORE"
This is the situation today as I see it.
Still crying that the embargoes did not starve us out ey!
Why do you keep going on about us saying one thing and then another. Was it not you that was foaming at the mouth a while back and posting the GDP of the TRNC/KKTC and saying we are doomed. If you can change your story then why are amazed that others do. I think if you care to think back, or at all for that matter, we did say that things were changing there fast but we stil;l need the embargoes lifted so we can visit our country faster and cheaper.....Hahahahahahaha!
Kikapu has indeed a very good memory. I almost forgot about VPs satelite connection.
But you Zan, Oh my poor Zany, you have such a confused memory!!!
I NEVER posted the crap you wrote. You confused me with someone else.
Oh Yeh! I keep forgetting there was more than one of you for a while..............You need to do some research on his posts so that you can claim them as your own......
All you have to do is just tell me who the other one was ZANY. So far we heard I was Kikapu. My, my, either me is getting totally crazy or you.
