We should ask Halil or Iceman to let us know who pays for these statues??
Must be like the Koh-i-noor, bought for (was it?) Victoria by public subscription by peasants? (is that accurate? I better check it out)
Who do you think pays for them Deniz? Who pay's for just about all public works in the north?
Apparently when the Lefkosa Turk Belediyesi ( TC municipality of Nicosia) where conducting meetings about building a new Mosque over the existing bus terminal, the the Turkish Embassy official couldn't work out why most of the board was opposing the project. Quoting Yeniduzen he said "I don't know why you're all complaining, after all Turkey is gonna pay for it".
I know who pays for everything Umit. It was a sarcastic comment. I could not see it as a 'money venture' as only Turks of Turkey would benefit. As it does in all things.
Sorry
