...by the way did you import your car through Cyprus, or Turkey?

Neither. I bought one there.
Importing it in the south was not an option as it had to be registerd in the south and I wanted it registered in the north. This business of trade via south is a smoke screen.

...your choice.

...and ironically, because of the "embargo", a choice which helps to pay taxes to the north's political establishment.

...talk about assumptions A, the issue has nothing to do with "Greeks or Turks", our problem is this generalisation, which leaves theives and plunderers free to roam as an ilk amongst us. these oligarchies may have seperate agendas, but they have the same purpose. quite rightly though, the Cypriot Government has not done enough to demonstrate a will which moves us beyond a proxy war these interlocutors fight.

so, at the root, or on the ground...

...Greek Cypriots fail themselves, and more importantly they fail Cyprus if they do not actively seek out other Cypriots for change. buying from a Turkish Cypriot you know and respect, if you are a Greek Cypriot does much more to advance an end to our Problem, than thirty years of isolation from each other. in the world of social-engineering an effort was made to change our behaviour (but now the gates have been opened) which fails if we have attributes as Human which are greater than Mankind's plundering ways before this Modern Age.

...Turkish Cypriots must do the same.

So, this is what it has all been about!

Turkey has expanded its tourist opportunities.

Stolen half of Cyprus, removed the native population and then conducts a Tourist drive to generate revenue.

What a sick, disgusting, scumbag country this new construct called "Turkey" has shown itself to be, since allowed to exist so close to European civilisation!

Time to STOP its Expansionism; or your country could be next ... Malta, Italy, France, Germany etc ...

Turks steal! Turks ethnically cleanse! Turks Expand!

Time to stop them in their tracks ....

Who dares!!!!


Oh hallo Oracle. I did not notice that you were about. You found your way out of the kitchen then?

Problem was Rwarrior, by keeping TCs down based on poor assumptions you perpetuate the animosity between the 2 communities. I know you are smarter than to fall into that basic trap.
TCs must make demonstrable strides agreed, so to must GCs agreed. We shouldn't participate in the development of negative stereotypes when that is one of the greatest challenges to overcome, as it plays into the hands of the oligarchs you describe.
