I was always told that Kurdish origin Turkish citizens had been living in South Cyprus. I was also told that most of them were PKK (which is worldwide recognised as a terrorist organization) members. Today I heard some terrorist activities in the South and made a very quick search on web.


Below is quoted from a 2007 report of UNHCR:

"The KGK/PKK has a presence in Cyprus, although its activities generally were limited to fundraising and transit en route to third countries; authorities believed there was little risk the group would conduct operations there. Cyprus maintained that it was fulfilling all responsibilities with respect to the EU designation of the KGK/PKK as a terrorist organization."

However, seemingly the South is still a heaven for Kurdish origin terrorists. Turks (and also Kurdish) in Turkey have been suffering from their violent activities for many decades.

Ironically, our sincere GC friends ask for Turkish Army to leave the island whilst hosting terrorists for many years...

Alpeis, Kurds were the famous killers of Greeks in Izmirn with the support of Attaturk therefore stop to post bsheets..

Those Kurds were older generation... There r Kurds, there r Kurds... many types, many ideologies... still smells bshieths?

Maybe you do not remember who gave you as gift Otsalan

Ahhh... let's remind everyone who shieted after all the truths behind the scenes were revealed....

The false Cypriot passport used by Abdullah Ocalan

By Paul Wood in Athens
The Greek Government has been left reeling from the Ocalan affair.

Criticised by both friends and enemies, Greece faces charges of betrayal and incompetence over its dealings with the PKK leader now in Turkish hands.

Greek officials had been sheltering Abdullah Ocalan, the rebel Kurdish leader, at the Greek ambassador's residence in Nairobi, but "lost" him in still unexplained circumstances as he was driven to the airport in the Kenyan capital.

During an emergency debate in parliament, deputies from the governing socialist Pasok party called for the resignation of their own Foreign Minister, Theodoros Pangalos.

'Humiliating moment'

Even the stock market dipped two percentage points amid general dismay at the debacle and fears that the government would be destabilised.

"This is the most humiliating moment in Greece's history," one Pasok deputy told Greek television.

Greek newspapers reported that Mr Ocalan had told his lawyer during the frantic attempts to gain political asylum that he was caught between Turkey and Greece "the bandit state on the one hand, and the comedy state on the other".

During frequently bad-tempered parliamentary exchanges, Mr Pangalos rounded on opposition deputies who claimed that Mr Ocalan was deliberately handed over to the Turkish security services.

"That is the most despicable and worthless accusation I have ever heard in this chamber," he said. "My only consolation is that it comes from you."

But it is the open split within Pasok which is most serious Prime Minister Costas Smitis. He is already beset by protesting students, farmers and public sector workers as a result of his austerity drive to prepare Greece for entry into the European single currency.

Simitis defiant

Pasok MP Costas Bandouvas, who had led a lobbying effort for Greece to grant asylum to Mr Ocalan, called a news conference to denounce a "disgrace and stain" on the reputation of modern Greece.

Some Pasok officials have called for a full parliamentary inquiry into the role played by the government in the whole affair.

Mr Simitis has been absent from the political stage during the past two days of raging controversy, laid low with the flu and a 40C temperature, according to his office.

However, overnight he issued a defiant statement, saying that it was the Kenyan authorities who had to explain what had happened to Mr Ocalan, not the Greek government.

Nevertheless, Pasok is now braced for heavy losses in European elections later this year and many government supporters now appear resigned to the prospect of losing the general election, which has to be held before the middle of next year.

Oh my god, I didn't know this! These all strengthen the said things in Turkey like Greeks back and train the PKK terrorists etc...

Inventor of eye laser surgery promotes Dünya Göz model
Friday, 06. April 2007, 09:19
Rector of Crete University Prof. Dr. Ioannis Pallikaris, known as the Father of eye laser – the method that has freed millions worldwide from their dependence on glasses – hopes to establish Turkey's Dünya Göz hospital as the biggest education and research institute in the world in a unique collaboration between his university and the world renown hospital.

Pallikaris, also the president of the Association of European Cataract and Refractive Surgery, and his team of researchers at the University of Crete discovered in 1989 what is commonly known as LASIK – an acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, a form of refractive laser eye surgery procedure performed to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.



The scientist spends 2-3 days every month at Dünya Göz in Istanbul to help manage its services in refractive laser treatments. “My purpose here is to educate doctors in new technologies, discuss complex cases and help make certain decisions, and to organize higher quality of service,” he told the Turkish Daily News at his Istanbul office. His relationship with the Turkish eye clinic started when in 2000 he visited to speak at a seminar on refractive eye surgery.



Since then he developed a friendship and collaboration with the Chairman of Dünya Göz's Eray Kapıcıoğlu, and the eye hospital chain. In 2003 the University of Crete, Faculty of Medicine, one of the leading institutes in the field of ophthalmology with its research and findings signed a “Joint Working Protocol” with Dünya Göz. Pallikaris explained that Dünya Göz was an obvious choice for a partnership with his University. “Dünya Göz is the biggest and best organized service provider in ophthalmology as far as I know, worldwide,” he said.



With 10 hospitals in Turkey and two in Europe, Pallikaris explained that it is tough to accomplish what Dünya Göz has, in the maintenance of high quality and high volume of operations, spread out in so many clinics. “Medical service isn't like selling something in the supermarket. You're always at a point of holding quality with such volume,” he said.



Organizing data infrastructure, patient follow-up and quality control has been his major contribution to this hospital he explained. Established in 1996, Dünya Göz offers services 24 hours a day and 365 days a year and has been named as the largest ophthalmology hospital in the world as its experienced doctors perform 20,000 examinations and 5,000 laser and eye operations per month. The average time of the refractive eye operation is less than five minutes long, requires only local anaesthesia with drops, and the recovery is immediate. “This was the beauty of the procedure,” said Pallikaris.



“The patient can see within a few hours without glasses.” He warned however that “laser is not the magic solution for everything” as there are many techniques which are appropriate for different cases. In the frame of health tourism which has become popular in European countries, Turkey with its state of the art technology and methods in the private hospitals is well positioned to claim a piece of the eye surgery pie, according to Pallikaris. "I think Turkey is a very good paradigm for this kind of service. It provides high quality, good service and it's cheap," he said.



As a Greek travelling regularly to Turkey over the last three years, Pallikaris has been impressed by the similarities between Cretan families and Turkish families. “They're very close and they have trust and rules, and there's respect to the elderly.” But most importantly he is thankful for his close Turkish friends and collaborators.



In an effort to create more partnerships like his with Dünya Göz, the University of Crete, has established the only department for Turkish Studies and Turkology in Greece, and under Pallikaris' rectorship a Turkish office that facilitates the communication between its research departments and those of other Turkish Universities.

That is right. The Turks is the problem of Cyprus. They invade, kill and steal our lands. Cyprus without Turkish invasions would be a free democratic and peaceful Cyprus without any Turkish terrorists destroying our island.
