Agreed, it must of been some other nationality.

The people our mate witnessed are the ethnic Kurds from Turkey, who have been allowed as asylum seekers by the RoC government (with open arms!). Funny how some GCs call them Kurds who were discriminated against, and others address them as "scruffy Turks".

Many Kurds were/are allowed into South using the premise "Your enemy is my friend", NOW LEARN TO LIVE WITH THEM MY FRIEND! :D

Note: Just wait until they start throwing bombs as well, it is a lot more fun! :lol:

All in all there are 50-60 Kurds BigOz. From those 50-60, 5 Kurds are on payroll by their international organisation, they run some offices and from time to time distribute leaflets etc. The rest are asylum seekers. In total we have around 2,000 foreigners from all countries of the word asking for asylum. It's a big problem for us, and the EU knows it and assists financially, but there is nothing we can do.That's the EU law.

P.S. I was walking down Leicester Square going towards Trafalgar Square only last week. There were thousands of people hurrying around. The majority were foreigners. So what? This is the contemporary world. We cannot go back.


anybody offended your country Lord Howard? :P

Nicosia
I walked down to Ledra street, and there were people sitting on the floor, all over the place, looking rough and basically dirty. It looked like a slum. There were loads of Turks, but not Turkish-Cypriots, Turks from mainland Turkey. and it just bought the place down. Turkish Cypriots, im fine with, and can relate to them, and have no problem with, but when you start seeing Turks in the south, it makes me really angry. The turks are much better off, beacause they are moving south into Civilisation, whilst just leaving the North back in time.

Limassol
Limassol was full of people of Indian and Chinese Orgin, or from countries around there, and as my uncle described it, its full of tramps now.

Why are Turkey allowed to illegally occupy half the island, then there aloud into the south. If anything the North should be open to the Greek Cypriots-and Turkish Cypriots, but mainland Turks should not be aloud in.
The island is better off staying in half.


Christakoudin, are you some member of Xrysi Aygi, trying to recruit other members through the forum, and you say all the above?

Yes, another racist post to start off a thread.

Exactly. Thank goodness for migration and mixing of peoples. We live, we learn. A multicultural open-minded world beats a racist narrow-minded world any day.

You've every reason to fear bigotry, but no reason to fear difference.

The offer of asylum : a virtue to be celebrated. So long as asylum is needed by oppressed people we should be proud to offer it.

Just a thought, maybe Cyprus seems so crowded now because we have lost virtually half of it.

But I would like to say (ever so carefully, since this thread seems to have racist undertones and as a geneticist I know better) that we should celebrate open borders and I thought that's where the world was headed before the fly in the ointment took hold.

Again,οut of curiosity to all civilized contemporary people of the forum, why all nations don't just open their borders for all?

The 'we live, we learn' reflective, probably, of a hopefulness rather than an accurate description of fact !

I'd follow chimera's 'we' when calling for open borders.
