I have answered my own question.

Tim, my son is thinking of doing exactly that, but it does need another degree of some sort which he is doing now. Denktash does not have a proper degree from London.

Interesting. The rules may have been laxer in the 1940's, though.

How many references do you want Fred? I don't know if he had a degree or not, he was a qualified lawyer according to below references and was accepted as such by the British colonial power.

Like I said never argue about facts - look them up!


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2623169.stm
He was born in Cyprus, and trained first as a teacher and then as a barrister at Lincoln's Inn in London. He returned home to practise as a lawyer and worked as a crown prosecutor before Cyprus won independence from Britain in 1960.

1944-1947: Studied law in the UK
Back in 1948, when Cyprus was a British colony, the young Rauf Denktash - a newly-qualified barrister from Lincoln's Inn in London - was a member of the island's short-lived Consultative Council

Studied law in England and in 1947 he was graduated from Lincoln’s Inn. The same year he turned back to Cyprus and started working as a lawyer. In 1948, he worked as an associate at the council of constitution, which was founded by the governor. He was assigned as the prosecutor and continued his duty until 1958.

PS, perhaps your friend Expat will write to him for more details of his qualifications.

These are not references Jerry. Your acceptance of reference material is not up to your usual standard, if I may say so. The reference I will get for you from the institution who he has supposed to have graduated from. That is a reference. They are not open till next week, But I shall endevour to get to the bottom of it. I have it from people who were close to him that he was no lawyer.

I can hardly wait Fred. I suggest that qualified or not (the BBC disagrees with you) someone who was employed as a prosecutor by the colonial administration is/was a lawyer and if he studied at Lincolns Inn he was in fact trained.

You don't like losing arguments do you?

[Kikapu]

I have it from people who were close to him that he was no lawyer.

Just like he was never a President.! Only a make believe, as the case is with the north being a "country".!

Well, what do you expect. For a fake country, you can only have a fake President.!

No, no Kikapu, you've got it wrong, he trained as a president and practised as president but never qualified so "he is no president" according to Fred's logic.

[Expatkiwi]

He is only interested in hearing what it suits him to hear.

If that is the case, then I don't have a monopoly on that character trait in this forum, Tim.

Kikapu, fake or not, it exists. If it didn't, you would be able to walk from Limassol to Cape Apostolos Andreas without any restrictions on movement.

You can nowadays, provided you are willing to show a passport/ID card at the crossing point.
