If we declared tomorrow that half of the contracts would be awarded to Turkish Cypriot and mainland Turkish construction firms, the town would be given back the same day. Politics is noble, but business is lucrative.


Do you mean we as in GCs? bloody cheek you do not have control over it so we decide and can have 100% of the contracts if we ever decide to open it up...why give it back theres no incentive.

Varosha/Maras is an ideal symbol of the bitterness between the two sides. If any move to reconciliation is to start, it should be there. However, how is that to occur? And if the north cedes its control of the area to the south, are there going to be any residual steps? Goodwill has to be there on both sides, but there is still a dearth of that particular quality - both in Cyprus, and in this forum.

VP, when partition occurs and you take that tail of Cyprus for your own 10% Turkish state, will you also accept the position of Muhtar for Galinoporni (Kaleburnu) village in the Karpas peninsula?

Why cant the GCs start the goodwill cycle by allowing a level playing field?

The Karpaz region is beautiful we do not have any problems accepting that virgin area....but what will you do if the % is not as you think it is and GCs boost our 18% to 25% or even 29% or discoveries are made that TC land was stolen from TCs and should be returned. I believe you will be sick to your stomache and want to die rather than let TCs have anything on this island. You come accross as someone who is ooking for revenge the first opportunity you get so TCs woudl be wise to take note that Kifeas represents the majority of GCs.

there is NO trnc hence no trnc laws. Its like asking someone to live in disneyland under disneyland management with mickey mouse dollar bills as a currency. WHat happens when your shareholders (turkey) decide to sell the place to new management? You can't live in such a temporary state no matter how long temporary seems right now.

I wonder how you even manage to hang any pictures on the walls...
