Human rights you say, the Tc have the right to join the Republic of Cyprus, by living there and claim every single donum that they own with no questions asked, live under the umbrella of protection of the Republic of Cyprus and the European Union...how many more rights do you want...oh oh you want the right to steal Greek cyp properties too...The only reason we are having these conversations on these forums is that one perceived slight was dealt to the Tc back in the 60's and due to Turkey's strategic importance you have a voice, anywhere else in the world you and your arguments would be laughed out of town

The breakaway regime has reportedly given dud cheques to the lawyers of the Orams couple; Hasan Vahib denies the information noting that the Orams have sponsors
Under the title Is there a lawyers crisis in the Orams case? Turkish Cypriot daily Star Kibris newspaper (19.03.09) reports that according to information published in the Turkish Haber Turk newspaper on 15 March 2009 (page 12) under the title Partner swindle to Cherie Blair who defends the TRNC, Mrs Cherie Blair and her partner Bitu Bhalla, who defend the Orams couple in the lawsuit filed by the Greek Cypriot refugee Meletis Apostolides from Lapithos, have not received the amount of £270 thousand sent by the TRNC in return of their services.
Star Kibris publishes statements made by lawyer Hasan Vahib, who described the above information as groundless. He said: The TRNC is not paying the money of the Orams case. They have sponsors. Anyway, the case is continuing. We shall launch legal proceedings regarding the newspaper which published these allegations.
Vahib said that Mrs Blair is still defending the Orams couple, that no change was made in the team and that they expect a decision in their favor in April by the European Court of Justice.
Star Kibris reports that the news published in the Haber Turk newspaper was signed by Daphne Barak, who argued that the issue started when Blair and Bitu received a letter from the TRNC government that the payment was made some months ago and added: The TRNC government, noting that the amount of £270 thousand was paid some months ago, wants confirmation that the money reached its destination. After that, Bitu Bhalla telephons Hasan Vahib and asks what happened with the money.
The Turkish newspaper noted also that Mr Vahib confirmed the payment and said that £120 thousand was sent to Bhalla and £150 thousand to Blair, but alleged that the cheques were proved to be dud cheques.

Your comment on Mrs Blair is very unfair. She is not only a decent Lawyer but she is a decent human being too, unlike her husband.
You are not serious are you? The woman is supposed to be a lawyer who specialises in HUMAN RIGHTS, and yet she defends thieves like Orams against litigants who have had their human rights infringed.
Its not as simple as that and you know it. Perhaps she is defending the TCs human rights, oohps I forgot, we are not allowed that, sorry.
