Oh so you sold GC "land because it was needed" ?.... If you needed the land, why did you sell it?
I'll tell you why you say that ... Because you know you did not need the land, being in vast excess for anyone's needs, having being stolen from many times more GCs than the TCs who illegally occupy it, could posiibly need.
You sold it because you wanted the (quick easy) money and to stop GCs ever having their land back!
As for your second clause; we GCs "used TC land because" it was needed ... Land isn't gone, possibly forever, when it is being used because it is needed ... unlike being sold to foreigners.
If you don't understand the difference you have no right to automatically expect to help run our country!
Excuse me, all people work and make money, some do it very easy others do it by working a lot more, some earn a lot and others don't, its just the way it is.
The land was sold to make money, it is as simple as that!
If you take all the options away from the people, which they would need to make a living in "conventional" ways, because of the war and the isolation's that followed, they are not just going to give up living are they?
What do you suggest they do to earn a living?
It is not a rhetorical question Oracle, I really would like to know what you would do?
Also sold land is not exactly "gone" is it Oracle, what are they going to do, fly back to the UK with your land?!
Let me give you an example, we are all farmers, for generations that's how we made our living, we used to be one of the biggest merchants on this island and many of our customers were also GC while we sold most of our goods to the UK, export was our main source and was very lucrative.
Now, since the conflict we have completely stopped, most of the time our farms cannot even generate enough revenue to prepare for the next season let alone making any profit, we literally give it away for free and not even Turkey would buy!
If a few members of my family had not managed to escape during the conflict, that might have been our only source of income which is now literally in a coma.
So, if that was the case, I too might be selling your property today dear Oracle, I really do not care, because I have no where to go other than Turkey, no job and no money, capisch?
What is really annoying is thinking about loosing all because of what, because racists like you wanted to declare this place Greek?!
