Thank your for your comments which are noted.
I very much take the line of Justice Jack in the UK Court of Appeal.
The orams case is a civil litigation case. The matter of resolution of the Cyprus problem is ill suited to this type of Court.
Where else is a refugee to go for justice?
EU Ctzn wrote:Of course the ROC has capitalised upon every opportunity to perpetuate the problems and issues of its homeland.
What else can it do? And why is seeking and securing justice perpetuating a problem? If every Cypriot refugee was to secure justice this would help solve the problem.
EU Ctzn wrote:The attempts at settlement were illustrated by the refusal to accept Anan.
The reasons for refusal are well documented. A settlement has to be acceptable or it isn't a settlement.
EU Ctzn wrote:When does a refugee stop being a refugee. When he is dead?
When he can return home or accepts compensation for his loss.
EU Ctzn wrote:so how long until the refugee ticket dies completely.
Never, for their next of kin will be able to claim the land. And their next of kin.
EU Ctzn wrote:I have seen many refugees in past years. In Africa and in war torn Bosnia. I am afraid that Mr Aposstolides does not come accross to me as such a desperate person.
Desperate or not, he is a refugee. After 35 years he rebuilt his life. Good luck to him and all Cypriots for doing so. Good luck to them all, as EU citizens like you, in securing justice.
EU Ctzn wrote:Do you really want a solution or is vengence the primary goal.
Justice and freedom are the primary goals.
EU Ctzn wrote:I am a firm believer in the age old adage that time is a great healer. Perhaps some ROC citizens accept this. Some clearly do not.
Perhaps if you were forced to flee your home in fear of your life you'd think differently.
EU Ctzn wrote:I think that the time for wrongs and rights has now long gone and people should look to the future for the sake of the next generation.
There are still 40,000 wrongs preventing the next generation from looking to the future.
EU Ctzn wrote:It is just not realistic to expect the demise of the TRNC. There is peace on the Island and the future prosperity of the Island is at stake.
It's not realistic to expect those who have been wronged not to seek and secure justice.
EU Ctzn wrote:As to interfering, I am sorry that you take this view. It is such a shame to see so many angry and destructive posts on this forum. These posters will, like the refugees die and fade away with time. History, politics and people change their colours like the seasons. In the absence of war and real conlict and with peace prevailing a solution will emerge. Just when and under what terms?
The war continues and is waged in the only way it can be, given the circumstances. And it will continue, until Cyprus is free.
Just as if Britain's northern towns had been occupied by Germany, with statues of Hitler and swastikas everywhere, the British wouldn't give up the struggle until their country was free.
