As per your previous post to where I was in 1963. The answer is this I am 39 years old now VP do your math and you see where I was. But I was around in 1974 and very close to it all. Infact I bet my bottom dollar that I was closer to every bomb that Turkey dropped than you were.
I don't expect you people to understand but can you at least for once be respectful.
When have I been disrespectful? you are free to return to your homeland tomorrow you are the one who chooses not to.
I wish I could return to my land VP. It's been sold through a dodgy title deed. I can't return to my father's house. There's a displaced member of the northern community there who's been given another type of dodgy deed. I can't go and live in my father-law's house cos there's a settler from RoT there with another dubious deed.
.. and do you know the funny thing, my family left Cy between 1949 and 1952. We had nothing to do with the nonsenses of 58-60, or of 63-65 or of 74!
So thanks a lot for the advice, for the invitation to return but I think I'm f----d!
No, that's not true I should say I've been f....d!
Bill outside of living in your family home (which one I am sure we will resolve) you are free to come live in the TRNC, the the barrier you face is more psychological than anything else. There are many GCs who have rented homes in Kyrenia and do live here without hinderence.
Thanks for your further advice VP. I don't really think I have a psychological problem, in that I have always found the northern community as welcoming/friendly as any other Cypriots but I am sure you will understand that I'd rather live/visit/retire to my own or parents' property.
I am reminded that my wife's late grandmother has also left her a nice little piece of a field in a village in the Karpas. I suppose we could always go and buy a tent and camp there. Anyone know of any camping shops?
In any event after some years of looking, my wife and I decided to start making good our family's temporary (as you say, to be resolved) property losses and bought several donums in Larnaca District last year.
Ask not what your country can do for you..... How about you donating your land for the sake of a solution and peace Bill as I have said I will.....Over 40 Donums in the buffer zone...
