Not being Cypriot and having no axe to grind against either side of the green line i have visited areas of the occupied north to look for myself at the countryside and villages that were once mixed communities.
I want to know why such disgraceful behaviour on the part of the occupiers took place??
I refer to the destruction and desecration of Christian churches and even worse in my mind, the destruction and vandalism of Christian Graveyards.
What were you afraid of? the dead can harm no one. They represent no threat yet you have destroyed graves and vandalised them - for what?
Used them as goat pens....these are the actions of Barbarians.
You want tourism, but mainly from christian countries i suspect, and this is how you treat the dead?

I also note that in the South the Mosques there i have visited are in good order and some have even been renovated.
Is this the way your God tells you to respect others? Eternal Shame on you.

BOF ... it's really heartwarming that you have taken the time to write such a revealing post. Sticking your neck out in this way reminds me of the "Best of British!"

(P.S. ... and I'll treat you to some home-made scrumpy next time you're in the West country )

West country??????????????

OMG. I will be breathing the same air as O.

Do I get an invite on my way to Pendene/Cornwall? I'll be good, promise

I prefer Sussex myself, its a lot more fun.

Not far enough from London........and I did not have much say in the matter. The scrumpy will be worth it. I cant wait for the invite.

Suitcase check list:

1. Andrews

2. Universal antidote against all poisons.

3. Kevlar jacket.

4. Halil as body-guard.

5. Last will and testament. (ashes to be buried on Mount Aphrodite)

Yep, you need to be well prepared. Include a chastity belt in your list just in case Bambo is in the background?

Nooooooooooooo. I was thinking of all the english yobo's going on their caravan holidays. Road rage and all that.

Besides, my wife will be with me!!

Considering your age

Her age is like a myth. Everyone says she's old but do we know how old she is exactly?

Too old to hold such silly views that's for sure

I think just old is sufficient. unless she is worth a million pound?(Money spent on plastic surgery)

Too old to hold other things as well

I think that Turkey wishes to perpetuate the myth that Cyprus has always been divided into a Turkish north and a Greek south, and in order to perpetuate this myth requires to remove all evidence that contradicts this. I think Turkey is succeeding in creating this impression. Speak to many foreigners who have a casual acquaintance with Cyprus and you will find that they believe that the island has always been divided along ethnic lines as it is now, and that the north has always been populated by Turks.

You are fairly new to Cyprus so naturally you wouldn't know..This "removing the evidence of other communities past" has been practiced by GC's long time ago..
Up until the end of 19th century there used to be only moslem villages occupied by ancestors of TC's in Cyprus.Each and every one of these villages had a small or a large mosque and a cemetary...Where are they now?
Captain H.H Kitchener's Triconometric map of Cyprus dated 1882 is an excellent evidence for the above claim.

Two worthwhile neutral contributors, BOF and Tim, present some independent observations from the occupied north ... and the maggots (runaway, YFred, etc ...) crawl out to ruin the thread with their inane views, in case anyone has any doubts they are the lowest life-forms.

Those maps tell a lot Iceman. I am trying to wall-paper my library with them. I thank you again.
