EU Changed Green Line trading regulations. No custom fees

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

I emphatically deny this but I've got a long drive from Kyrenia and dying to go to the toilet... :?

"Did you know back in 1974 the Turks didnt even know what a toilet was."

A couple of interesting questions come to mind.

1. Prior to 1974, how did Turkish Cypriots urinate and defecate?

2. Who taught the Turkish Cypriots about toilets post 1974?


A further question to the author of the above obscenity. Have you ever, in your whole life, even once, spoken to a Turkish Cypriot?

Tim,

Maybe to George, a toilet where one squats is not a toilet, but the one where one sits, is. In the old days and TC's being Muslims, I tend to think most of the toilets were the squatting types. That's the type we had in the 60's in Kücük Kaymakli anyway.

Perhaps George can clarify to us in what he meant.

Perhaps, indeed, he can clarify what he meant. I lived in Turkey in the late eighties when the kind of toilet that you describe was in common use, and have frequently squatted on them myself. As far as I am concenred, an alaturka toilet is still a toilet.

George, I can assure you the TCs did know what a toilet was, back in 1974, just like the GCs did! I suggest you do not make comments that you do not know for a fact they are true, for you only reveille your potential racist sentiments!


I remember a TC friend of my older brother telling us ages ago that when the settlers came from Turkey into Greek Cypriot houses, most of them didnt know what some of the everyday appliances were. Aparantly they didnt know what a washing machine was and even tried to bathe their children in them.

I was in Egypt in April for couple of weeks and did a lot of squatting in public toilets too.

I would recommend a mirror to be put on the door however, so that one can better aim while squatting.!! :lol:

Slowly, slowly they asre getting something.!!!1

Suddently one morning they will loose (TCS) all again- reason? They have just AN INLEGAL STATE.Beacuse of G/CS? Beacuase of EU? Beacause of Greece?

NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY HV A "STATE" CREATED AFTER AN INVASION and this is just against the UN regulations. So simple- so clear- so diificult for them to undersdand.

There is not limit, as no one controls what you buy, the GCs do not generally shop in the TRNC, they have a unified policy to not support the economy of the north. They even bring their own sandwiches and drinks so as not to spend any money that would go towards supporting the TRNC.

That means , no limit , that you can buy whatever value from the ROC and return to the "TRNC" ??
Can you offer a reason as to why should any citizen of the RoC should want to prop up the economy of the "TRNC" under the present circumstances ??


Yes we can and do buy whatever we want, we evenhave people who buy their bread, tables chairs in the south and carry them accross wither by hand or in cars vans etc.

We do not think of it has helping the enemy and shop freely wheras you do, thats the big idfference between GCs and TCs, if we are the enemy then do not cross, stay in south Cyprus where you belong. But if you cross into the TRNC using your id card then surely you must need a drink of water or a toilet, or do you supress those urges and shit when you get home :lol:


VP, although you have been looting our properties in the north since day one of the illegal Turkish occupation, and although your illegal apartheid racist regime and illegal "constitution" deny almost every single human right to the GC refugees from the north of Cyprus; we still have given you EU citizenship via RoC passports, jobs to work in the south for higher salaries (even though you do not allow even one single GC to go for a mere cane-fishing in the north -as a hobby, without "arresting" him,) we have given our consent to the EU to allow the exporting of "your" goods via the green line, without taxes and duties (even though most of them we know you bring them from Turkey or produce them in the GC properties you illegally usurped,) and many more benefits; YOU have the audacity and the ingratitude to complain that you do shopping in the south while we do not? WE do all these and we do not say that we are helping the enemy, (and as a proof, your per capita income has tripled since Turkey opened the cage in which it had you locked for 30 years,) and YOU come here to complain that we see you like the enemy, while in fact it is you that does exactly this, and you even had your pseudo-police "arresting" and throwing in prison for 48 hours a GC that cut a flower from his own garden in Karmi village?

We even gave you electricity, when you run out of it in the middle of the cold winter, and we didn’t think you were the enemy –even though we knew you would have shared it with the illegal Turkish troops in the north, and as a “thank you” the next day you went ahead and provocatively lit that stupid “flag” on the mountain, obviously in order to demonstrate your “gratitude” and “civility!” YOUR insolence has surpassed that of a monkey, in case you haven't realized it yet! I wonder when you will grow up!


Just to point out that that looting was not exclusive to one community. We vacated our property just outside the old city of Famagusta on the evening of 20th July and made our way in the old City.

When we re-emerged nearly a month later while the outside was totally under GC control, the majority of TC properties were ransacked and looted.

VP why are you such a twat. You keep making these stupid statements. We take our own drink and food when we travel to the North.

Did you know back in 1974 the Turks didnt even know what a toilet was. When you theiving peasants started looting GC properties you saw the toilets and thought they were for washing. Just go to show how backward you people are.

If we are the enemy as you put it why do thousands of you work for GC's in the south. Why dont you close up the borders again if you are that scared of us and continue living in isolation with you turkish brothers.



And may I also add, that in addition to the looting, the kind souls who did the looting/ransacking also decided to leave their excrement in most rooms of the house (dammit, we even had 2 toilets they could have used :wink: )
