Can you help?
We will bring another US junk food franchise in Cyprus on exchange.
Deal?


Deal! :-) I will be happy to tell you that American fast food is a horrible concept.

But at the rate Cypriots are begining to love "CHINO"s, there will be 10 more Starbucks in as many years.

Wait & see, EU stated that measures will be taken against Az. if it starts direct flights & trade to the occupied area.

Actualy if you look at the EU restrictions on the north they ahve always been on exports and not imports. There is nothing stopping EU countries (or others for that matter) exporting to the TRNC and shipping goods directly here.


I bet the forwarder company has told you that they cannot use any occupied Cy port, therefore your goods arrived to Cy through Tr. Any EU goods that arrive to "TRNC" are arriving through Tr.
Each import's arrival notification has a note that ship are prohibited to use Famagusta or Karavastasi port.
On the other hand EU companies have their representatives/agents in CyR's free areas therefore all the representatives/agents of EU goods that are in the occupied area are just branches of the Tr agents.

Wrong thinking :D

I knew you were #1 in making deals.
No problem for the American fast food, here we digest everything. For difficult cases we drink VO31 the famous Cyprus Brandy that makes your head spin like the always drunk Clerides.

Now put one dynamite on Guls ass to get him moving signing the protocol with the EU. Another on the UN to stop the nonsense and call for negotiations and spare some for Papadopoulos and Talat in case they start playing games. Everything on the table! Whoever says "pass" gets a dynamite.
Careful of the Turkish Generals and Greek mafia. Anyone who steps near gets a dynamite. This game is between Cypriots!

None taken. We ourselves are so sick of the size of the signs; we pass and have to enforce laws limiting their size, shape and location. The most stringent state would be Virginia, no billboards at all. The most lenient would be Nevada, or the city of Las Vegas.

I hope if it were a “visual” eye sore, some of your community leaders would introduce legislation to limit the outdoor advertising here in Cyprus.

Do it now before the trend takes off.
