Thought I'd come back on to comment on this particular thread. Nice to see a ferry link established between TRNC and a country other than Turkey, though Syria loves playing Machivellian politics to benefit its interests.

It's just the beginning Dean and after what Olli Rehn said that it is not illegal for any country to establish a link and that the "RoC" is on it's own me thinks that other countries will follow after a little while.

Is this what Oli Rehn said???

Even on the things someone thought of hearing him saying, does that mean he is the ultimate authority who can decide???

Isn't he only responsible for the enlargement of EU?

There is only one thing I agree with you. That it is just the beginning. The beginning of your understanding and digesting that as long as you continue carrying your illegalities, the stealing of half the GCs of their lands and properties, and their ethnic cleansing and substitution by settlers THERE IS NO WAY OUT OR YOU.

If it makes you happy pyro, keep on whinging and whining and calling everyone a liar but don't forget, you are on your own this time.

Take 5 Eric. Greek ones!

Hi guys!Do anybody know some more information about the ferry? Web pages would be great.
I want to know about time table, prices etc.

Thanks.

P.S. Do not attack me because i intend to go somewher from TRNC...
I know that certain people would like to hermeticaly close the North part of Cyprus - no ships, no planes, no roaming, no turists, and probably no air and food. And then just wait till the all the poeple from north disapear...

Its cause we don't want you to disappear thats why we're keeping your ports closed

If we open them up at the rate the TC's are going you'll all be gone in a month!

Those who leave are Turks and those who come are Turks

Oh thanks Eric, I now feel much better. So Turks go to Syria, Turks come back from it. Aller-retour in other words.
Peripato na poume

Wicked! So when can we actually go to Syria?

[Nikitas]

Just saw the news on RIK Sat, said the ferry was cancelled due to high winds today. They showed a clip of it, it is a small ship. Are you sure it is ok to go over 80 miles of open sea in that little slipper?

Perhaps a small ferry is less politically overt than a larger vessel...

There is international law and then there is the law of the country.

International law are the laws between countries. It is the laws that Turkey violates by occupying part of Cyprus.

Which ports are legal within Cyprus or any country is not something decided by international law, but by the country itself.

So basically Republic of Cyprus, the one and only legal state in Cyprus, can declare any port within its territory as legal port of entry (and everything else is illegal).

It is not the first time that ships from Arab countries bring illegal immigrants to EU with ships that enter the territory of an EU country illegally.

The fact that countries like Turkey and Syria help this illegality to be committed is not new either. Turkey pushes thousands of illegal immigrants through its borders with Greece and Bulgaria into EU every year in an effort to create a problem to EU. The same is what they do in Cyprus. About 9 in 10 of illegal Arab immigrants that arrive to Cyprus do so thought the occupied areas.

Or maybe you expected 1000s of Syrian tourists?

Piratis my friend,. Are you a 'legal' man? I have never yet met a man as profligerate as you in the use of the word'legal' (illegal) . Its gone to your head. Give it a rest. We will be recognised soon. Get used to that.

Deniz . . Have I missed something?
Why are you suddenly so confident you will be recognised soon?
I have seen nothing in the media to suggest such a change.

[growuptcs]

The only way Turks are recognized are as misfits to society without any means of doing anything in a legal manner. With the majority of adults not wanting to change anything just like children with attitudes.

Utu,

I am worried about the people who will ride on these little slippers (that is what we call small ferries here in Greece where I live). They are considered too small to sail in conditions above force 7. The stretch between Cyprus and Syria is open to southern winds and as soon as the ships clear the Karpasia peninsula they are vulnerable to north winds too. Eighty miles is no small distance, look at the map of Greece, the island of the eastern Aegean are 60 miles from Piraeus and a trip on a big ship, a 20 000 tonnner, in seas over force 6 is not at all comfortable.

The use of what are in essence water buses between the ports lends credence to Piratis' view that people transport is the only goal in this link. But no matter the purpose of the trips, the people should be safe.

Ho lets cancel the crossings, wouldnt that be exactly what GCs want, you appear to be crying crocodile tears, these excuses even if genuine will never be accepted as such.
