The TCs have been made dependent on Turkey on purpose.
The TC's also have contact with EUrope now and if they wish to stop their dependency on Turkey they can use the RoC to stop that by working together with Christofias to get out of that.
However, Zan and VP put forward great arguments that there is no, problems faced by TC's because maa Turka is looking afer you guys all of fairly and equally.
Frankly am getting over your elitist attitude that so long as TCs are doing alright who cares about settlers.
For fuck sakes when I was there I went to the toilet @ Apostolos Andreas and the woman there was begging for pitttence to feed her children. Wake up you selfish arseholes.
Humanist, you, a GC, telling me this by playing on the sensitivity ?
Tell this to your fellow GCs who in the event of a solution to their liking, and let alone leaving one settler on the island,they would be cheerfully be deporting their children born here, even those married with TCs, even TCs themselves back to Turkey.
So you are deeply moved by this beggar woman at Apostolos Andreas , is it Tc's fault, that she is there ? Or is it due to joint work of Turkey and the stupid TC government here who don't care about letting anybody from Turkey in.
There are millions like that in major urban centers in Turkey.
At every traffic light in Istanbul, there are gangs of small kids swarming over the stopping cars, trying to sell handkerchiefs, bottles of water, trying to wipe the windshields with rags despite the drivers' attempting to shoo them away.
Now, the same thing starts happening in the north and you are moved by the plea of that settler woman because.. ahem.. you are a "humanist" and put the blame of her tragedy on TCs.
What about your fellow GCs who post here about using "Easykill" for cockroaches for getting rid of turks on the island ? As a humanitarian, have you objected to that with the same vigour ?
What about your fellow GCs who even blame our ancestors for what they did and who claim that TCs owe their existence on the island to Ottoman's bloodbath of 1571 conquest and thus TCs should have no right to speak up for themselves?
To the jerks who make that claim:
1) What would you expect us to do then ? Make a time travel centuries back and beg the Ottoman sultan not to deport turkish settlers to Cyprus ?
2) In addition to turks, Ottoman empire had greek, serbs , albanians, bosnians, armenians and assyrians as subjects. It is quite probable that in the armada that ravaged Cyprus in 1571, there were also soldiers from this ethnic groups as well.
3) If every community should be deported back regardless of their centuries of existence in some place just because their ancestors came there as a result of an invasion, then implementing this logic worldwide, one would find the entire world map radically changing today as hundreds of millions of people would be uprooted and shipped back to where they come from.
Starting with the Americans as we all know, I guess, who were the true owners of the entire American continent.
Then negroes would be shipped back to where they (were forced) to come from including potential next U.S president Barack Obama.
What about that "scientific" woman of yours-a frequent poster here, who is openly preaching greek cypriot supremacy and hate-mongering against the TCs by calling us "scum", showing blatant contempt for our culture ?
Do you think she, along with many others, would give a rats' ass about the plea of the settlers in the north ?
The humanism is of the GCs is as plausible as their other utterances:
farfetched.
