The editor in chief of KIBRIS newspaper writes that the mentality of increasing the population in the occupied part of Cyprus to 500 thousands still exists Under the title The north is under occupation, Basaran Duzgun, editor in chief of Turkish Cypriot daily KIBRIS newspaper (03.05.05), writes, inter alia, the following: Let no one try to discuss this problem by hiding behind his finger, because the issue has a long time ago gone beyond the dimensions of utopian discussions. Almost every day a belly is probed, a man is slaughtered, tens of houses are robbed, and billions of (Turkish liras) are stolen. Let no one try to conceal the problem, because it is an occupation problem. Northern Cyprus is under occupation: Every day that passes the occupation of murderers, thieves, charlatans and rascals is settled even more. It is almost institutionalized and causes problems to more citizens every day, irrespectively of the origin of these citizens. And thus this occupation continues. No power can face this occupation. Neither the police nor the army nor the civilian authority (can face it). Those who have been brought to power with the votes of the people are actually without authority. Discussing the issue with them and trying to bring them to book is in vain, because they do not have even the slightest authority to give orders. When they try to do so they receive the answer we do not take orders from you ... The police are a walk on in this issue. The dimensions of the issue are frightening. Everyday houses are robbed, attempts for murders are conducted. Ships come full and no one can prevent those who come. There is an order of things where even the police cannot interfere in the gangs of robbers that come out from the ships. It is certain that the north is under the occupation of thieves, murderers, charlatans and rascals. The responsible for what is happening is the mentality of let us increase the population of the North to 500 thousands which is still acting secretly but effectively. Or (the responsible) is the those living there have been drawn into rottenness philosophy. Those who think that the northern part of Cyprus is not Turkish enough and try to Turkify it, are those who prevent all the efforts that are exerted. Let no one be offended, but as long as the power is not passing to the civilian authority the situation will continue being like this. Some persons will be lamenting that those living in the TRNC do not want us, ships will continue coming full and no one will be able to prevent houses and shops from being robbed and people from being murdered. Until when (this will be happening)? Until the issue is turned into a political crisis? Is it the time for organizing rallies under the slogan End the occupation, give me back my sovereignty? Is this what is desired? /SK
