The point is that you occupy 1/3rd of our country illegally and you violate the 1960 agreements. If you want to implement the 1960 agreements then you have to agree to implement them fully! Do you? And ECHR has nothing to do with this. This is not about human rights. It is about the 1960 agreements that you refuse! If it was about human rights then we should also have public schools teaching in Russian, English, Polish, Romanian, Arabic etc because there are more of those people in the free areas of Cyprus than the TCs!

Except this country doesn't belong to the Russians, it belongs to youandus which you seem to forget all the time, and proceed to talk even more crap built up on it

The official languages are Turkish, Greek and English.

Officialdom went out of the window in 1974 ... suspension of provisions allowed under occupation ... read the Constitution ...

Well said Iceman. This is a very sick person, it scares me to know such people exist in my beautiful country. God made a mistake with Oracle.

English is NOT an official language of ROC..

Iceman,English IS an official language in Cyprus.Why is Cypriot parliamentary legislation published in English,as are judgements of the Supreme Court of Cyprus? Most Turkish-speaking Cypriots probably don't speak Cypriot Greek,so they use English when speaking to a Greek-speaking Cypriot.

why do you bother cluttering the board with the above useless cut & paste?
Shah made a statement about official languages of ROC and you said "Officialdom went out of the window in 1974"
My response was to this statement of yours....
Show me when Turkish language was proclaimed suspended from being one of the two official languages of ROC.

Thickman ... if under an Emergency (ie due to occupation, ie like NOW) the writ of the constitution is SUSPENDED ... that means there is no Official Turkish language .. can you not intepret simple English ....

[BC Numismatics]

Iceman,then why is the English language retained as a common language then? India has hundreds of languages,so English is retained as an official language in India,as the people of southern India do not speak India's other official language - Hindi,which is similar to Urdu,which is also spoken in India,but is an official language in Pakistan along with English.
