GR
If you don't want to respond to my questions then don't. No problem.

You started by questioning my allegations

No, GR I asked a question about the allegations, I wanted to learn more.

Then, given the problem of loss and destruction of cultural heritage I asked what could be done to lessen that loss and destruction, including from RoC. Surely that is a perfectly reasonable question ?

Your reference to international conventions was irrelevant to my question about what could be done to support conservation in n Cyprus. Your nine-year old story on Dikmen was hardly hot off the presses, and your topic title was provocative and misleading. So when it comes to raising problem after problem and fuelling animosities you are the undoubted master. But when it comes to seeing what can be done to help or ease the situation you are nowhere to be seen.

Why don't you start a thread on that and find out.

No, GR. I don't think so, since I'm learning a lot from other posters who post fruitful and constructive information on this thread.

Why don’t you tell us in your own words who/what is responsible for the destruction of occupied Cyprus’ cultural heritage if not those I blame in my posts?

Better yet, since you initiated this thread, why don't you explain your purpose for resurrecting an article that's 10 years old.

Well the Turks invaded 33 years ago, should we ignore that as outdated?

[Filitsa]

Apples and oranges, phoenix. And if I read Get Real!'s post correctly, he implicated his Turkish compatriotes, not the invaders.

Apples and oranges, phoenix.

Yes, those are both FRUITS and what I am referring to are both CRIMES! . . . Filitsa.

The article I made reference to gives a good account of one criminal’s illegal activities and the subsequent efforts made over a decade by various authorities across the globe to return some of these artifacts to Cyprus.

It is by no means the one and only criminal engaged in such activity, in fact the destruction of occupied Cyprus’ cultural heritage is an ONGOING illegality even today as many otherwise law-abiding citizens in the north have in their possession stolen artifacts displayed and/or hidden away in their homes.

So I'm correct in my understanding that the purpose of this thread is to implicate Turks and Turkish Cypriots as criminals. Thank you for the clarification.

Shows you that he is more interested in gaining the island not so the open arms we are told await us in a unified Cyprus. Then they tell us that the Turks are bad for us

Yes, I already understand, thank you. You clearly desire to portray Turks and Turkish Cypriots as criminals.

I was replying to your post about the relevance of something being 10 years old and whether it was still important . . . which of course it is.

Whatever the start point of the thread . . . It is my view that both the TCs and Turkey are responsible for these crimes.

Filitsa . . both times that I replied to your posts, you then went on to add further commentary. That is subterfuge, so please don't post till you've said what is on your mind. Highly unethical practice!
