Tatar called to Turkish Cypriots not to do shopping from Greek Cypriots .
“Why should I do my shopping in the Greek Cypriot side when Greek Cypriots are not shopping in my side?” Tatar says .... also he adds every kind of shopping made from the Greek Cypriot side causes harm to the TRNC economy, Tatar stressed the need for keeping the money used for shopping within the TRNC borders.

Who or what is Tatar?

TRNC Minister of Finance, Ersin Tatar.

A lovely Borek too. (sorry Insan; its nearly lunch time)

Tatar büreği da nefis olur ama haaa...

[denizaksulu]

Whoever he is, he's got some sauce!

That is Tartare sauce; though perhaps it is derived from Tatar.

It is! And it can give you diarrhea of the verbal variety.

He just tries to retaliate the known GC groups that discourage GCs shopping in TRNC.
2 wrongs has never made 1 correct but this is how problems supposedly r worked out on both sides of the Cyprus.

exactly so !

Can't think why more free Cypriots aren't in the market for essentials like, err... huge statues of Ataturk... That would always help boost the economy.

Humiliatory retaliations, u mean...?

[Nikitas]

No more bricks for the GC building industry? No more TC potatoes for the AB chain in Greece?

Ridiculous really! Its all mainly to do with supply and demand. If stuff in the north is a load of rubbish then, perhaps, that is the reason why many tc's shop in the south. Nikitas has hit the nail on the head anyway - there is trade going on between the communities and its obvious that some people from both sides don't like it and will do what they can to disrupt trade.

TC potatoes are big hit with Greek buyers because they are better. Like Mikkie says, the market has ways to reward and punish, no need for politics there.

How ignorant can you get. It has nothing to do with quality. Its to do with isolation. Despite the fact that GCs earn 4 times as much as the TCs some of their products are cheaper than in TC shops. Particularly the EU products. At least get your facts right before making wild accusations.
It all comes back to economic suffocation.
