I have this idea for a documentary. A bus with 12 people (6 GC and 6 TC of ages of 60 plus) from different villages travelling in the south and visiting the 6 TC villages with each TC reminiscing his/her youth days (good and bad) and how things were in their village at that time.
Then off to the north to do the same thing for the GCs. This could be a 2 day trip with lunch stopovers and even all spend a night in a hotel. The south visit could be in Turkish with Greek and English subtitles and the north visit in Greek with Turkish and English subtitles or even the whole thing with English narration with Greek and Turkish subtitles and a host who can master both languages.
This will be a great way to show the world how well we can get along, when left alone.

What do you think? Will it work? Any more input of ideas? Will the north administration allow such a shoot?

Do u think the south administration will also allow such a shoot?
in both sides u have to get permission from the administration offices.
it will be a good idea to make such a documentary.to see the results depends on the people you are going to choose. i would like to work on such a good project.also i can talk about your project with BRTK director boards. Why not. even u can write direcly to brtk general director Hüseyin Gürşan.Or u can get in touch with the private tv channels from north.e.g:Genc Tv or Kıbrıs Tv.
good luck........

BRTK does not even have a license to broadcast... it is a pirate station!

you are sick minded man...... try to see the realities....... i am not going to write down again history about bayrak...... search it from well known websites.even we are sending a reports to CNN....... LO LOLOOO

It doesn't matter weather you interview the pope or you send reports to the moon, you still do not hold a valid ITU license...

Remember all transimissions that are "licensed" under the pseudo state at the north are illegal by default... that is why you cannot get anything unless it is coming from turkey...

You do not have a valid mail address for god sake... MERSIN 10, Turkey...


And it is Turkey's fault that you end up in this abomination... They are keeping you hostages for your own protection and you are biting... how blind can you be?

StrahD. Hello, your website is infected. Please check it out.
Do you own the airways. If you dont want to listen to it, well dont. No body is forcing you.
We have a pirate on the forum, we have a pirate as moderator, at least Bayrak is honest. You are welcome NOT to listen. Savvy?

[Pyrpolizer]

in both sides u have to get permission from the administration offices.

NOT in the free areas! Not anywhere else in EUROPE.

it is not like that my dear friend.i passed many times from the border with camera.i know how we have been questioned.u can get with amator cameras their is no problem..... when they checked your car at the check point ...... lot's of questions i have to answer.....

Lots of questions perhaps. But have they taken your proffesional camera? Have they arrested your crew? Have they told you to get a written licence to make a film? Have they told you you needed police escort to film an event?
In the end have they FORBITTEN you to film anything you wanted?

[Strahd]

Neither me nor you nor anyone "owns" the airwaves. They are a natural resource that we decided to regulate through the UN organization called the ITU. Unfotunately because the pseudo state is not a recognised administration but a "mickey mouse" state your pseudo authorities are not legitimate and thus cannot license any radio transmission from the Republic of Cyprus. That is the reason you do not have an address, you do not have an international dialing code, your pseudo FIR only communicates with Turkey...

and all that because of Turkey... and you still praise them! Bravo!

[denizaksulu]

You are welcome StrahD. You want to silence TCs using all international regulations etc. We will not be silenced. I can listen to Bayrak anywhere I like. Even on the Web. Eat your heart out. It only shows the immoralty that pervades your administration. What are you going to prevent us doing next? Breath fresh air, because your International lobby forbids us. Wake up, damn it. Sorry, I forgot myself. I nearly cursed. I am laughing , ha ha haa

You are so ignorant and so brainwashed... We want and we have given to you so many incentives to speak, however you prefer to be silenced by the Turkish state than cry out!

Bayrak can and is welcome to apply and get a license from the Ministry of Communication and works. I am pretty sure this application would be celebrated by the rest of the Cypriots as a sign! That bayrak the station that have been blacklisted by the Turkish military has now get a legal license to transmit from the Republic of Cyprus. It will be the begining of the end of the turkish protectorate that currently advocates your life. You will be free.

[Pyrpolizer]

I would suggest we concentrate on things that are really unethical than illegal on legalistic terms. For example a TC is not doing anything unethical by living in a GC property neither a GC refugee does anything unethical by living in a TC property although strictly speaking they are both illegal.

Same with Bayrak. For me a voice of information is just another voice of information. Media always help democracy advance. If todays technology and internet existed in the 60s and if Bayrak was in the 60s as it is today, we wouldn't have a divided country today.

Btw I do remember Bayrak in the 60s.Do you know what they were transmitting in Greek back then?A half an hour comment by a pure Greek hater who each and everyday was threatening the GCs that "one day, yes one day we will catch you and take your teeth out one by one with a plier etc etc". And then you would see GC women coming out in the neighborhood mad and scared to death for what the Bayraki just said

We as human beings have choices. We can read bad books, good books, listen to bad news or good news we dont necessarily act or agree with them. We are not talking about the contents of broadcasts. It is the ability to choose. The first paper I read is the Cyprus Mail. It does not mean I support what it writes. However I do find very good articles in it. Then I read Turkish Language papers and I do not necessarily agree with any of its news items or editorials. But I still like to be informed to feel the mood.
I would not know what idiot pyro was listening to, maybe a stupid hot head. I have no idea as to what his venom was against. Their might have been an incident. But it was wrong and maybe one of the mistakes that was made.
Pouring out venom against each other is pointless, unless the whole idea is to poison the relations between the two communities. We can do without it.

Comments About Use of Media During "the Troubles"
• Ayse. "We got information from the radio about captives and wounded people."
• Teacher. "Because we were restricted from all communication and travel, the radio was our only means of communication."
• Kemal. "We did not use television much because it was only broadcasting for Greeks."
• Hasan. "The media helped me but not enough."
• Sevgi. "To hear the voice of the Turkish mujahit from our radio gave us courage."
•
• Deniz. "We used media only to get information, not for entertainment

Ayse's Story


Q. During this time period (the 1974 war), was there anything special that stands out in your mind about the media (radio, television, newspapers, etc.) or the way media was used in your family or by your friends?
Yes. There was 1 Bayrak Radio. We learned all the events from this radio. And there was one Turkish newspaper. This newspaper published every day and told all about the situation, so I learned what the situation was about the war.
Q. Did you have any thoughts or ideas or feelings or emotions at that time?
Yes. I was affected by these events. These were people that were killed in the war and people that were taken prisoner.
Q. Were these thoughts or ideas or feelings or emotions a problem for you in any way?
Yes. These events psychologically affected me and continued for a long time.
Q. Did the media help you in any way at that time during this period?
Yes. We got information from the radio about captives and wounded people. This newspaper gave some messages. The newspaper and radio took an important role at this time.

Kemal's Story

Q. During this time period (1963-1974), was there anything special that stands out in your mind about the media (radio, television, newspapers, etc.) or the way media was used in your family or by your friends?
Yes. We heard the news from Bayrak radio, Halkin Sesi, Bozkurt, Nacak newspapers. We did not use television much because it was only broadcasting for Greeks.

Deniz's Story
Q. During this time period (the 1974 war), was there anything special that stands out in your mind about the media (radio, television, newspapers, etc.) or the way media was used in your family or by your friends?
During this time period we used media very often. Because we wanted to be informed about our surroundings. For that reason media was very important for us but we didn`t use it for entertainment. We were usually informed by radio and newspapers because these were the only possible media which we can use. We used media only to get information, not for entertainment.
Q. Did you have any thoughts or ideas or feelings or emotions at that time?
I was very happy to own that kind of media. Because despite all kinds of impossibilities, they tried to help us. They continued to publish their newspapers in every condition. This made me very happy.
Q. Did these thoughts or ideas or feelings or emotions help you in any way?
These thoughts or ideas made me to see the truth. In Greek media they always made propaganda against the Turkish Cypriot media. But the hard working behaviour of the Turkish Cypriot media gave the best answer to them. These thoughts helped us to become a conscious people.
Q. Were these thoughts or ideas or feelings or emotions a problem for you in any way?
These thoughts or ideas didn`t cause a problem for me but they raised a question in my mind. This question was "Why do they have more chances than us?" To think about the answer of this question made me sad.


Too many histories u can hear from our people about Bayrak......

I have this idea for a documentary. A bus with 12 people (6 GC and 6 TC of ages of 60 plus) from different villages travelling in the south and visiting the 6 TC villages with each TC reminiscing his/her youth days (good and bad) and how things were in their village at that time.

It might even be a joint venture of PIK and BRTK. Or maybe not.

Why not....... THEY SHOULD DO İT ..........
