«Να είστε πάρα πολύ προσεκτικοί στην ποιότητα του κτιρίου και να θυμάστε ότι κατά καιρούς σημειώνονται σεισμοί στη ‘Βόρεια Κύπρο’. Η Βόρεια Κύπρος δεν είναι αναγκασμένη να τηρεί οποιουσδήποτε Ευρωπαϊκούς ή Διεθνείς νόμους όσον αφορά τα οικοδομικά πρότυπα, γι’ αυτό και το ατσάλι που χρησιμοποιείται στην οικοδόμηση των περισσότερων κτιρίων δεν είναι τόσο χοντρό όσο αυτό που χρησιμοποιείται σε άλλες χώρες όπου τηρούνται οι διεθνείς κανονισμοί».
This is a quote from Fano's advice to foreign buyers of property in the TRNC, it is worth translating:
"Be very careful regarding the quality of the building, remember that nortern Cyprus has earthquakes. Northern Cyprus is not obliged to follow any European or International building codes therefore the steel used in buildings is not as thick as that used in other countries which follow international regulations"..
Really! Would you buy a used car from this guy, let alone a house!!!! His situation as professor cum casino tout really says a lot about the place that proudly uses him as a salesman and propagandist. From what I read he even appears on TV as newscaster. The situation has a certain theatrical flavor to it, it justifies the term "puppet state" more than anything I have read on this forum. I hope they appoint him minister of foreign affairs soon!
