Ersin Tatar called on Turkish Cypriots not to make shopping from the free areas of the Republic of Cyprus.

Under the title “Let us support our own market”, Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (08.09.09) reports that the self-styled Minister of Finance, Mr. Ersin Tatar, inspected yesterday afternoon the area at the Agios Dometios crossing point where he met with “customs officers”.

In his statements to the press afterwards, the self-styled Minister of Finance called on the Turkish Cypriots to do their shopping from the occupied areas of Cyprus. Mr. Tatar pointed out the need to protect the economy of the “country”, for it to be developed and strengthened, to create employment opportunities and for the businessmen to make openings. Mr. Tatar said also the following: “It is not right for everybody to go to the Greek side for his own pleasure, do shopping and pay the VAT to the Greek state”.

Mr. Tatar reminded also in his statements that everybody should comply with the regulations and alleged that the “customs officers” are always obliged to do their work and make the necessary control.

On the issue of shopping from the government-controlled areas of the Republic of Cyprus, he said: “We do not have a prohibitive mentality. Our citizens can act as they want but everybody has to obey our rules”. Mr. Tatar reminded also that the amount of €135 is the maximum of the total purchases a citizen can make, excluding trade goods, and he then called on the “customs officers” to show the necessary sensitivity on the issue by stating the following: “We make a request to our citizens to obey this rule. Because, we have to protect the economy of our state”.

I wish you'd look around the CyProb first to see if a story has already been covered because you’re doing a lot of double posting.

I am not interested in reading articles that refer to the Republic of Cyprus as the Greek Cypriot administration. Are we clear?

The admin should open up a new section for you and Halil so you can each post your own propaganda to eachother to read.

Slowly they are changing the language to suit themselves. You are right to be vigilant to this tactic and not be swayed just by the context ...

Well hello there Iceman. Nice name, did you come up with it by watching "Top Gun"? Tee hee!

Kindly direct your comment to Halil and Yfronts please. They have been copying and pasting long before i came to the seen. If Yfronts can c/p from the shitty mail and Halil from the illegal bayrak then i should also be able to reproduce articles from the Turkish Cypriot Afrika newspaper. Suck it up, Ice.

"do shopping and pay the VAT to the Greek state”.

Not all of it, a substantial part of VAT goes to the EU. Is this yoyo against the EU too? What is he going to do when TCs shop in person or via the net all over the EU?

What happened to Talat's bombastic "we are the true Europeans, not the Greek Cypriots"????

So it's OK for you not to spend a cent (no doubt as a matter of principle) but you object to our Minister of Finance appealing to TC's to follow suit? BTW why do you go to the North? No doubt to check on "your" property to make sure it's still there

...i sense another round of "border" guards yanking candy from babys' hands because it was purchased not in the northern part of Cyprus...
