I saw an intervıew on CyBC recently with one of the TC teachers' trade union leaders - I think it was Güven Varoğlu of KTÖS. He made the simple point that wages in the north of Cyprus are double those in Turkey. He pointed out that the cost of living in Cyprus is also higher, but that migrants do not generally consider this point. It is surely not rocket science to predict that the flow of migrants will continue from this neighbouring country with a population of 70 million and a high rates of unemployment.

Like attracts like and all that old boy!

What is amazing is that GR could not work that one out and required an explanation, but education does not come free these days, so Tim please stop learning these peasants free of charge.

Only bona fide Turkish Cypriots are permitted to cross south.

Yfred,

my mentality is fine, I just don't want to be shafted by you guys and have to say thanks for it as well.

as some on this forum would happily do.

Like I said, you are with us or against us. TCs have their RoC as long as they respect the RoC, otherwise they can go whistle.

That phrase was last used by Bush, and you know what, there is nothing to think about, I for one is against you, if those are the only 2 choices.
As to your mentality, you cannot be the judge of that, others will be.
A crazy person will never admit that they are crazy. By the same thought process, a sane person saying they are crazy shows they cannot be crazy.

...because its a state policy to change the demographic structure of the island. Yea, we know all about Turkish manipulations.

News item A1:

Experts from the AKP are said to believe that cheaper workforce and a population of at least one million is needed for a self-sufficient economy in the occupied areas of Cyprus

Under the title “What is the target of the AKP?” Turkish Cypriot daily Kibrisli newspaper (18.08.09) reports that debates have started on the target of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government which “imposes the same economic package” to all the “TRNC governments” having the approach of “cover your own current expenditure.” The paper accuses the Erdogan government of dragging the economy of the breakaway regime into crisis with “the so-called economic measures it imposed,” by “closing the taps” and accusing the Turkish Cypriots of receiving high salaries and living in luxury. The paper reports, inter alia, the following:

“First the crisis swept away the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) government and now it is leading the National Unity Party (UBP) into an impasse from which it cannot come out. ...

It is said that the AKP government, which is consciously dragging the country into an economic and political crisis, is attempting to materialize a new exchange of population and migratory policy. The experts of the AKP, who support that cheaper workforce and a population of at least one million is needed for a self-sufficient economy, believe that they will be able to achieve this target with the so-called economic measures which have been imposed.

Political observers are noting that this policy, which ignores the national cause, will force the Turkish Cypriots to migrate and the places, which will be vacated, will be filled up with cheap workforce which will be brought from Turkey.

It is certain that the struggle between the Eroglu government, which is forced to operate under the pressure of the Erdogan government, and the trade unions which escalated the struggle against these anti-populist actions, will cause very big social explosions.

The question which should be answered is the following: Is the Erdogan government preparing the people for a referendum with these economic measures or for the period after the referendum? Or are all these a massive manipulation move in order to threaten the Greek Cypriot sector by using the Turkish people as subject of the experiment?”

"It is surely not rocket science to predict that the flow of migrants will continue from this neighbouring country with a population of 70 million and a high rates of unemployment."

So is this a deliberate policy to upset the demographics, or collective communal suicide by the TCs?

It is puzzling to hear how the TCs resent attempts to eradicate their culture and dialect, and at the same time see how they are giving away "nationality" to those that mock them. It is obvious that at some point the "naturalised" population will claim power by sheer numbers.

TCs were always easily fooled. They believed the nonsense about their salvation and safety etc and they failed more than the GCs to take themselves seriously as a Cypriot community. The GCs escaped by sheer luck. The TCs are not so lucky.

Fine words coming for a person who supports continued suffocation of the TCs.
