Those are not elements of an embargo, they are elements of recognition.

No they are not...They are the rights of the people living on the island and not your right to treat them as second class citizens.

Remember the fracas with the TaeKwonDo team? They wanted to participate as the national team ot the TRNC. That was the problem, not the participation per se. I have not followed the later sporting events problems but assume the reasons were similar.

The TCs do not even enjoy observer status at the UN headquarters in New York. Nor does the World Bank or the Monetary Fund recognise it as a candidate for loans. Lack of international aid along with other economic sanctions , is one of the reasons why per capita income in the North is one-third that of the GDP of the south.

Everybody is celebrating the future.

What a garbage response!

You know, GR, reacting to posts in that kind of matter shows that you are simply taking refuge in bluster, rather than directly responding to the issue, which makes you look rather foolish. In any case, The RoC depends upon the UN reinforcing the view that the TRNC is an outlaw entity, which is of course used by the RoC to justify the imposition of isolation strategies in the form of embargoes and boycotts, though in the language of 'so-called' to show that it is the north's own fault. The UN Sec-Gen, by stating that there is no 'so-called' in these isolations, has shown that the UN does not agree with the RoC strategy. If you think that this observation is wrong, then tell me - and the other readers - why, without having to resort to a smear campaign, which seems to be your usual strategy as of late. Disagreeing with me is one thing. Dis-ing me because of my observations and opinions is another.

Ditto!!!

You are totally right there a few members who use sarcasm and I know it all you know nothing attitude to try and strengthen their weak arguments, this inflames many of us to reduce the whole debate into snide remarks. Could I suggest we tell these people to stick to arguing the points without trying to divert us all into a slanging match. I to from time to time sucked in by these stupid idiots but I will try to keep a certain standard if everyone else agrees to stick by the rules of not using sarcastic and verbal diarrhoea to cover up their lack of understanding.

You asked a question and it would have been rude of me to ignore it. You got your answer. The act gave us the embargoes....If you cannot follow the thread then what can I say.....Errrr! Try harder

President Mehmet Ali Talat has underlined the need to immediately lift the international isolation imposed on the Turkish Cypriot People, as voiced by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon.

Welcoming the UN Chief’s latest report to the UN Security Council, the President said `such a move will not only contribute to the efforts aimed at uniting the Turkish Cypriot people with the rest of the world but also to the efforts aimed at providing a solution to the Cyprus problem`.

The President’s words came during the opening ceremony of a branch of an international company in Lefkosa this morning.
Addressing the opening ceremony, President Talat said the opening of branches of international companies in the Republic will help the Turkish Cypriot People unite with the rest of the world.

The President said the lifting of the international isolation of the Turkish Cypriot people will not only help the Turkish Cypriot People unite with the rest of the world but will also contribute to the efforts aimed at bringing about a solution to the Cyprus problem.

`International companies are uniting the Turkish Cypriot people with the rest of the world and contributing to the solution of the Cyprus problem by opening branches in our country` he said, expressing the hope that such investments will continue in the future.
