http://www.afrikagazetesi.net/modules.p ... e&sid=1166This is the last straw. In Louroujina (Lurucina/ Akıncılar), even villagers cannot access their own houses without showing identity cards. Our citizen named Fetine Mehmet, who came home with her daughter and grandchild to spend New Year with her mother and father aged in their 90’s, was denied entry to Louroujina (Lurucina/ Akıncılar) by the military on the grounds that she did not have a TRNC identity card. The soldier who was inspecting identity cards at the entrance to the village, having telephoned his superior, denied the family permission to pass. Fetine Mehmet, who returned without seeing her 91 year old father and 89 year old mother, was put up by relatives in Nicosia. Louroujina (Lurucina/ Akıncılar), whose population has fallen to 300, is virtually under military siege. The villagers in this neglected village have been grappling with this problem for years.

What you posted is yesterdays news..there is a follow up to this story on today's Afrika.
Apparently Fetine Mehmet got offended by Afrika's article accusing the Turkish Army of not allowing her through and threatened to sue Afrika unless they made a public apology..
She has said "We have no problem with the Turkish army,They have done their duty (by not allowing them through without ID) they saved us from the GC's and we are grateful to them"
so today's Afrika headline was
Özür istediler,Zavallı Kıbrıslı
