Yes you are correct Bill. Unfortunately the trade embargoes driven and enforced by the the GC administration in the south also effects GC's in the North too. As a result, both GC's and TC's endure the same burdens of economical stragulation by the south which impacts upon the whole infrastructure of the North...simple common sense really.
No that wasn't what I meant at all ~ whilst TC's enjoy what I would call a relatively free and easy life in the south unfortunately the same can not in any way be said about the GC's living in the north as they live a very miserable and oppressed existence.
Your economic problems have been forced on you by turkey ~ I'm not going to go further with this statement because in simple terms both GC's and TC's are to blame for turkeys intervention and your present situation ~ to be honest you both got what you deserved.
As far as economics are concerned you aren't doing to badly judging by the amount of new mercs owned by Turkish Cypriots I see crossing over to the south .
What with all the GC land that has been sold by the TC's using illegal trnc deeds to naive and gullible foreigners and the land that has been sold on the south side to GC's plus the economic support from turkey to be honest you are not that bad off really ~ the same applies as it does in the rest of the world the poor get poorer and the rich get richer
~ it's no good parading your poor whilst there are rich about too.
I notice there has been a couple of large TC houses situated on very large plots pulled down in my area recently and they will no doubt be replaced by huge blocks of flats very soon ~ so there are a couple of TC families that have had a huge boost to their bank balance recently ~ no doubt they don't live in Cyprus so you won't be seeing the money in the north
