Once some citizen groups of Turkey had guerilla training camps in Greece and rumoured that in South Cyprus too.

There are rumors that you’re the biggest idiot to have surfaced on this forum yet most still give you the benefit of the doubt… so quit confirming my rumors Insan!

What are you today green, blue or black dustbin.

From AFP:

Cyprus has the highest intake per capita of asylum seekers since it joined the European Union in 2004. According to the United Nations, 11,000 applications are waiting to be processed.

Most asylum seekers in Cyprus are from Syria, Pakistan or Sri Lanka. However, the UN says those who have received positive responses are mostly migrants from the Palestinian territories, Iraq, Iran or even Turkey.

Disy accuses illegals and drug addicts for crime surge

http://www.cyprusweekly.com.cy/default. ... ewsID=1028

Opposition Disy have raised the alarm over the recent crime wave of armed robberies and blames the financial crisis, illegal immigrants and drug users for the upsurge.

Police also received a rap on the knuckles for not doing enough to fight the causes of crime to ensure small businesses were better protected.

Disy MP Ionas Nicolaou said the number of armed robberies on banks and kiosks were way above last year’s level and a cause for public concern.

“In the first few months of 2009 we’ve had an armed robbery almost every day with would-be robbers becoming ever more dangerous by putting lives at risk for a handful of euros without thinking twice.”

Nicolaou made the comments after meeting with the association of 24-hour kiosks whose members are increasingly put in the firing line.

Since the start of the year there have been a dozen heists or burglaries on financial institutions compared to only three during the same period in 2008 and one in 2007.

However, it’s brazen raids on kiosks that have really gone sky high. The politician blamed a social mix of economic downturn, illegal immigrants and an increase in drug abuse as the root cause.

He even went as far as to suggest police were covering up the reasons behind the crime wave.

“Instead of hiding what has caused the increase in crime, it’s preferable to scientifically study the facts and adopt the necessary measure to tackle it…if this doesn’t happen immediately we may be mourning more victims.”

Police pledges to upscale patrols in vulnerable areas were deemed as “half measures” by the Disy MP that would not produce the desired results.

“The issue needs careful and comprehensive study to produce effective measures such as; preparing shop keepers on how to best react during a robbery, the installation of CCTV cameras and alarms and adequate lighting inside and outside premises.

Another key element was for police to reduce their response times to kiosk or bank heists, said Nicolaou.

Association chief Andreas Theodoulou said his members were worried about the increase in stick ups on convenience stores.

“We propose better information for small businesses such as the police telling us how we should act in such a situation and what measures they propose we should take.”

Theodoulou warned against shop keeper trying to be a hero by trying to arrest someone who storms their property.

“We don’t want shopkeepers to take the law into their own hands; we simply want to be better prepared to prevent us mourning our victims.”

FRONTEX has been in touch with the Turkish authorities in terms of the practical cooperation of the border control since 2006, however has not as yet been able to sign a working arrangement with Turkey on the matter, Executive Director of FRONTEX Ilkka Laitinen has said.

Laitinen who is currently paying an official visit to Cyprus accompanied by associates, to discuss illegal immigration and measures to tackle the problem, met Wednesday with the Head of the Aliens and Immigration Department Doros Achileos.

The Cypriot authorities have repeatedly said that most of the illegal immigrants arrive in the government-controlled areas from the northern occupied part of the country, where the legal government of the Republic is prevented from exercising its jurisdiction as a result of the continuing massive presence of the Turkish military, which invaded Cyprus in 1974.

After the meeting, Laitinen said ''we have been in touch with the Turkish authorities generally, in terms of the practical cooperation of the border control since 2006 already''.

Recently, he added, we have received some positive feed back from them but for the time being we have not been able to sign a working arrangement with Turkey on the practical cooperation on the border control.

FRONTEX is the European agency for the management of operational cooperation at the external borders of the EU member states.

Cyprus joined the EU in May 2004. It seeks EU assistance to deal with illegal immigration.
