A more acceptable term for what I think you mean, is to call it the "Turkish Occupied Side" ....

Can you expand on this please?
What tensions where you aware of as a teenager? .....(in what was supposed to have been the most lovey-dovey part of our history, which a few TCs are demanding we go back to).
He is talking of the years 1963 or thereabouts and not after 1974. PLEASE NOTE!!
Deniz;
she also knows , the wall in Nicosia was built up between 63 and 64.
Nicosia was divided in two sectors since 1963. İt doesn't suit her . that's why they never likes us when we are talking about 63 .
Halil .... please look above, highlighted in red ... The man was talking about 1960 -1963.
Get your facts right propaganda merchant before you pass judgement on me.
Phoenix mou. What is causing the confusion here is your use of the word 'Occupied'. Like what you call, 'Occupied Cyprus'. What Halil and I are saying is that it is wrong to call the Turkish sector of Nicosia 'Occupied' with the same meaning as 'Occupied Cyprus. In 1960 = 63 there was no 'occupied areas, just Turkish sectors and greek sectors, which merely indicated where the majority of each community lived. You had Turkish areas in Larnaka and Paphos too. I think you were far too young then, to understand the geography of the island prior to your being napalmed.
No Deniz ... what is causing the confusion is that both you and halil are jumping in without observing
... and so far the person to whom the questions were addressed has not answered.
So kindly leave it alone .......
Des please answer the above questions of mine, if you can?
OK, Des will answer.
I ask you directly now. Are you calling the Turkish area of Nicosia in 1960 - 63 'occupied areas'? YES or NO.
Deniz .... you really can be tiresome....
Have a look at the original thread, the context reflects the reasons why I posed my questions and corrections henceforth ... now scoooot!
