Oh please, spare us the dramatics, will you. The Brits used us in the past and now some of those morally corrupted British fools are using you one more time to get what they want, which is to steal the GC land, remain in them, and try and deny the TC's any kind of reunification , because they will lose once that happens, and looks like they have trained you to be the good "monkey" to obey their demands. While they are living "on the hog", your fellow TC's are not, unless of course, they too morally corrupt themselves in dealing in stolen GC properties. You give way too much importance and credit to these morally corrupted fools.
They used us by giving us a partnership in the "RoC" which the GCs hijacked and tried to change to suit themselves and their vile aims. Without them the GCs would have achieved their enosis dream and you would not be arguing their corner today. How are they denying us a solution when we cannot agree jack shit, you still have to realize the chasm is to wide to bridge this takes courage and acuman which you lack, you will be banging your head against a brick wall indefinately as you appear to not understand that neither side has the desire, vision or ability to compromise or be flexible enough to find a solution that both sides can commit to.
We are no different from the south who thrives on Brits, Im sure you can work out the rest without them their economy would start to crumble. You should not throw bricks if you live in a glass house.
You have at best 5,000 True Brits/English in the north. All the rest are TC British like yourself. I don't care how many British Barristers and ex MP's you have in the north, in fact more the merrier once this legal ruling takes full effect, the GC’s can go after them in the UK and they will not be able to do a damn thing about it, as they have not been able to do a damn thing up to this point to try and prevent this legal case getting this far, that they are about to get a knock on the door with legal papers being served to them. Lousy 5000 morally corrupted Brits in the "trnc" does not even amount to a flea on an elephants ass in comparison to the population in the UK who are not going to support criminal in far away land..........sorry to disappoint you, VP. If they do pay taxes in the UK, all the better. That means they have assets there too and were smart enough not to sell everything and put the money in the "trnc" bank in the form of a Turkish currency.!
You are picking figures out of the air again, please supply links to support your arguement otherwise refrain from talking as if you know the gospel. You are far from the truth and do not have a clue about the balance. This ruling will make no difference and you knwo it, they are comfortable with fact that we cannot agree a solution that could put them at risk, and continue to sell off assets in the UK and invest in the TRNC where the interest rates are more attractive. You seem to dismiss these peoples contribution to the TRNC economy, just for a few minutes consider 10.000 Brits with 300.000 each investing here...pretty big amount when you consider the overall size of our economy dont you think.
I am not protecting anyone I am just stating what I think will happen if the ruling does in fact go your way and that is nothing....the Brits will just takes measures to soften the fallout and delay in siezing assets, there are many ways to skin a cat you must have learned that by now living in "democratic" countries.
All I need to know about what goes on in the north is, that GC land has been stolen and sold to others. That practice will come to an end very soon and those who have been responsible in being an active participant in this thievery, will be made to face their actions with the legal system. They have had it way too easy for way too long. It is these people who have denied the TC's to have peace for the longest time in Cyprus, because their greed was more important than the lives of average TC's, and you are still defending these morally corrupted people at the expense of better life for our people. All "good" things must come to an end, and the end is fast approaching to these low lives.
How will you stop the Isrealis Russians or Iraqis?
Money and ways to make profit never stop, high risk high gains their are plenty of people to take that risk.
What will change is the fact, Christofias will be off the hook to cut a deal with Talat on how to satisfy the GC refugees, which is mainly compensation in Talat's views, so that the north can be bought to become a Turkish state in the future after a envisioned partition down the road becomes a reality and still be part of the EU. Now, the GC's will be able to say NO to a compensation and even if there is any kind of a BBF deal with a loose central government, the TC courts in the north will not be able to deny these GC refugees their properties, because even if they did, they can take their case to the EU and that will be that. This will prevent the north from ever becoming "Pure Turkish Land" for the future. Alternatively, is for the north not to be in the EU and not have peace, and no prosperity for the TC's, but hey, look on the bright side, the 5,000 Brits will be able to keep "their" stolen properties as you become their servants. Turkey can kiss the EU goodbye also, if you think these 5,000 Brits can rule them also. But of course we know why the Brits are there, because you made it possible for them to be there. They were your "insurance" to make sure that stolen GC land not to be returned back to them by hoping to use Britain as a "protectorate". Sometimes best laid plans go very terrible wrong, as this legal ruling becoming law, will be the end of those best laid plans. Listen, Talat is craping bricks with worry about this ruling becoming a reality. I would advice you and all the other 5,000 Brits to take note of Talat's concerns.
Whos being dramatic now? the facts still remain that the majority of GCs will have the option of finanacial compensation or land in the south, with some getting their land back where possible, thats what President Talat is saying.
As for best laid plans that comment cuts both ways what if the decision is not as you wish and is one that puts this issue on a back burner until a solution is found? what will you GCs do then?
And remember what we want is not compensation to give to them our land. What we want and what we won with the Orams case is that they should demolish the properties they made on our land and pay as rent for the time they used it. The land is still ours. If the Turks want to settle the problem with compensations then we can buy the 12% of land that they own and they can go back from where they came from. Our island is not for sale to Turkey!
