Oracle you have provoked the forces of peace! It is all your fault.
No Nikitas Turkish Cypriots are returning back to their own homes in Paphos . With their songs and tradationes .There will be no place for Hellenes . Only Cypriots will be in Paphos .(TC's and GC's + TC's married to settlers and their kids )
Our experience in CY this past August comfirms what Halil posts.
We tend to spend some time in Larnaca cos Mrs C has relatives who took refuge in '74 in the old tissy quarter behind the mosque there and we like to take a late evening stroll down Phinikouthes or eat out at CY restaurants along the front towards Mackenzie.
This year we saw markedly more, far more than in previous years, tissies out for an evening stroll along the front. Indeed, take it from your honest Reporter, there were more of them than grissys. The large mosque there, although there was no "call for prayers" of course, was popular.
We understood that some had moved back in to their old homes in the tissy quarter ... and so they should, and I don't have a problem with that leaving aside any matter of possible double-dipping, CY/EU citizens enjoying their properties and living in peace as they have every right to do as full and equal partners in the Republic, and doing so without special privileges, without guarantees etc.
