So are they going to shoot down unarmed people if they dare to try?

Its a highly militarized area, with warning signs stated its dangerous and should not be entered, countires have these places allover the world people who enter them can be shot.

Prove it!

Why dont you try your luck and see?

[RAFAELLA]

Halil, I wonder if you can understand the difference between Famagusta and some old ruined buildings.

I do understand everything .... u better to explain our people about their villages ? what was the aim of it to raze them or ruine the buildings ?

Since you understand everything what's the point of arguing then.

I do understand at both ways not like u to understand only one side of it

we all talk about Turkish factor of it ... come on and tell us what was the aim of it to destroy the Turkish Cypriots houses in south . We didn't destroy any Tc houses. As years went by, it was obvious that old buildings would become ruins. As Miltiades mentioned, the mosque and the school are still there.

As one who has recently visited Istinjo in Paphos , as a mark of respect for a great Cypriot , Birkibrisly , I can vouch that the village is indeed in ruins apart from the Mosque -School that still appeared in reasonable order. The rest of the village is in tatters as a result of neglect and disrepair .
It has not been wantonly damaged , the fact the Mosque is still standing is an indication that the village has not suffered from criminal damage but sheer neglect.
The village is situated in a scenic spot and a rather beautiful area of Paphos .
It is a shame that this village , as well as others , have been neglegted by the RoC relevant authorities but I presume that any improvements or repairs can only be carried out if inhabitants are living in the vilage.

Dear Miltiades ,
People in north does not understand why it was neglected ....why .... why they were left to collapse .People are asking these questiones . was it part of plan or plans ? ...and who did you expect to look after them Halil? who did you expect restore them?
After the invasion CyR had to put its pieces together and start functioning again as a gov / country. In 1974 CyR had to find shelter, food, medicine etc for the 200.000 refugees, as you well know your beloved turkish army violently usurped everything of what these people owned.
My family, likemost of the refugees, used to live in the fields, queue for food etc. ...and you expected from the Cy gov to look after your abondoned houses?! With what money? ...and after all why should the CyR restore abondoned properties.
I guess once again you are knocking on a wrong door.

Excuses excuses....unbelievable how these GCs can lie so easily, the TCs properties were intenionally neglected.

Intentionally neglected?! I really wonder what excuse your little mind can find this time

One mosque does not a village or erase the guilt of GCs who knowing and malisciously burnt down villages in 1963 and neglected our villages after 1974. All is GC manipulation and cold calculated measure to wipe out TCs, camaflouging it with the pathetic excuse that it all fell down naturally.

WHICH were the Tc villages that were burned down by Gcs, VP?
We had a thread with this issue and from what I remember no concrete evidence were presented. Just tailor-made propaganda.

..one of them was last year and he found some coins which he buried in the garden of his house in 1974 and brought them back with him!
Anyone who makes an abandoned town a high-grade military area is sick in the head and it's only dangerous because of the state they have allowed it to deteriorate into!
By the way,apart from the three hotels which the Turkish Army families and students use-Sandy beach is the best known-is the bar near Kalamies about to open this year?Is this only for military or also for Turkish Cypriots-I have seen some photos of it and was told they sold good Lahmacun and cold drinks!
If this is supposed to be a part of Europe then the whole situation is farcical.The only explanation there is for Turkey to keep it is because they know its a very good weapon of psychological warfare-not only is it clearly visible from Dherinia on this side,but since 2003 Greek-Cypriots can actually walk along the perimeter and even touch some of the buildings-and maybe do a quick leg over to have a look inside some of them!
If this the case then it shows how much good will the so-called 'deep-state' and military have in Ankara!

So are they going to shoot down unarmed people if they dare to try?

Its a highly militarized area, with warning signs stated its dangerous and should not be entered, countires have these places allover the world people who enter them can be shot.

why is it dangerous?...it wasn't dangerous when people inhabited the city...

Bumbulla boy, do us all a favour, please go and visit it wrapped up in your best greek flag. Don't worry about any images of soldiers; they are all virtual cut-outs. Just make sure you’ve got your play station with you, because they may not have any where they will send you.

goodmorning knucklehead...time for you to change the bed sheets...

It is good that some of us who post in the forum are old enough to remember exactly what happened in 1974.

The TCs, under the direction of Dentkash and the TMT, massed in the British bases demanding to be moved to the northern part occupied by Turkey.

There was NO such voluntary act by the GCs. The GCs were violently expelled from the north.

So there is no comparison between Istinjo and Famagusta. In one case a couple of hundred people voluntarily moved from Istinjo to Akrotiri and then to the north, and 40 000 Famagustians were kicked out by force. It is a shame that some so called Cypriots cannot show honesty in this case.

Did I imagen the concentration camp in Limasol with the TCs in them? You forget people in Larnaca killing themselves rather then surrendering to the GCs. We don't.

[Nikitas]

The concnetration camp in Limassol was the city stadium in which they held the male TCs for a few days and allowed them to be interviewed by the BBC and ITV.

The Larnaca situation was similar and the Larnaca TCs were the first to go through the Base area to the north, under the lenses of foreign TV crews. Akrotirit delayed because buses had to be arranged for what was cynically called by the Turks a "population exchange". There was nothing to echange, all GCs had already been violently expelled from the north, excepting the 28 000 cut off in Karpasia. They were whittled down to a few hundred in a matter of months despite assurances given by the Turks and Denktash.
