VP
Have you not heard TCs are the first to be laid off in the south, so they are now working in the TRNC and have many stories to tell of how they were treated. What you saw was normal daily life, we are no different from south Cyprus. OK admitiditly our incomes may not be as high as those in the south but our outgoings are not as high either. We may not go to a restaurant every week but we go evey other week. We have people on lower incomes and people on higher incomes just like countiries allover the world. You like to paint the north as some undeveloped land where uneducated people like well sorry to disappoint but we are normal people living normal every day lives. The Orams case has brough about other attitudes and fired TCs to take their cases to court as well, they will borrow or find the money form family to counter GC property claims but they do not have a TC court to rule in their favor they have to take your GC courts and the "RoC" to the ECHR to get justice, what do you have to say about that?
VP I am a bit over this fighting to be honest, so sometimes I like to joke abut the situation because it is laughable in a sorry kind of a way. I know that daily life is reasonable, thank God you ain't starving however some people are making it hard. We all know a solution would alleviate some of those economic problems. In my response I think I expressed truthfully what I thought of the occupied territory of Cyprus.
I like to keep the Orams case separately, because for me it is about the ethical implications that those two people have exposed by their lack of empathy for another human being. As I have advocated many time before, the TC's had to have accommodation immediately after the war and sought to live in GC refugee homes. It is excusable..... the other on the other hand cannot comprehend that the people who sold them the land acted innapropriately and illegally and whilst they have been ripped off, it does not change the fact that they have built upon someone elses land without their consent.
If I were the Orams I would have struck a deal with Apostolidis, for some other form of compensation if agreed and gone after the person who sold them the land for compensation to Apostolidis, whether it was cash or exchange of another plot of land of equal or greater value. Deep down I feel for the suckers and I would have suppoerted them in that action. However the fact they showed no remorse or even understanding of where the Apostolids family may be feeling and experiencing. That shows lack of compassion.
I would be interested in haring your response about the EU being the entity that safeguards TC individual rights
... or maybe pigs really can fly!
