English hate the French, the Flemish hate the French (they live in the same country), the Catalan hate the Spanish, the Northern Italians hate the Southern Italians, Serbs and bosnians do business together, the Russians screw everyone etc. etc. etc.

You see my point, you don't have to leave doing business just because you "generally don't like someone" it's supply and demand, and the wider your markets the better the chances of improving your standard of living.

Unfortunately TCs have only had Turkey to trade with for decades. What is the reason for the North maintaining its Turkishness, is it all Turkey? or, can we put it down to one set of people that have forced that situation with the never ending embargoes? DOn't worry it's not a trick question, I think the answer's obvious.

Not sure it's "unfortunate" that Turkey's subordinate regime has only had Turkey to deal with; thus maintaining its Turkishness. It's more a natural and entirely predictable consequence of the breaching of a plethora of international laws and treaties; which Cypriots in the free areas have naturally and entirely predictably taken advantage of.

How can the (what are laughingly referred to as) embargoes end, while these illegalities have not only continued but, over the years, been compounded by Turkey's actions in Cyprus?

How did you know I had royal blood? have you met my uncle Phillipo?

MP there were embargoes even in the 60s,
It was not only a consequence of 1974.

GC have sought to keep the TC people down before Turkey even got a snifter.
There were embargoes on TCs throughout the 1960s.

Goods, materials, loans, government etc.

Yes you may laugh, but ask the people who you are trying to choke into submission with your boots placed heavily on their necks if they can also see the funny side.

When I saw Bill say he's embargoed from Girne, well, at least that's his only gripe. Sports, entertainment, foreign investment, even the friggin EU where you can't even let TCs who are meant to be part of Cyprus have any representation, oh yes and our properties.

Anyone that says the embargoes are not real and/or that they are justifiable given the past of the island and/or that it is right that only one side should be persecuted is one of the following:

1. Stupid
2. Ignorant
3. Malicious
4. Calculating (in the Machiavelian sense)
5. Racist

Tony says people have discussed the various atrocities and negative impact of the GCs, so why oh why can the GCs on this forum still justify the embargoes. Oh yes one of the 5 points above.

Is that what you been telling all other dogs up north, that you have royal blood? Your only a runt that doesn't know his arse from his paws.

Because they're very good for carpetbaggers like you!
