LOPEZ SPARKS OUTRAGE OVER CYPRUS PERFORMANCE

JENNIFER LOPEZ has come under fire for accepting an invite to perform at the opening of a new hotel complex in northern Cyprus - because the launc h coincides with the 36th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of the isla nd.
The Jenny From The Block hitmaker has been booked to play at the openin g night of the luxurious Cratos Premium in the Turkish Cypriot part of th e popular tourist destination.
But the news has been met with outrage by officials at the Cyprus Actio n Network of America, who have started a campaign calling on Lopez to scr ap the gig as it falls on the 20 July (10) - the date that Turkish troops invaded the Greek-owned island in 1974.A letter of petition from the Cyprus Action Network of America reads, " It is with dismay and shock that the people of Cyprus and especially the Greek Cypriot women in the Republic of Cyprus and elsewhere in the world heard the news that you intend to attend the inauguration of a hotel in t he occupied by Turkey (sic) part of our native country.
"The Turks go to a great length to secure support from people like you in order to promote their political ambitions and objectives. Does your c haritable work and status permit you to give credibility to Turkish rapis ts, thieves, invaders, occupiers of our stolen properties?"

Not very credible journalism I say. And in BC's 3rd link, is a copy paste of the same article but have changed the 'Greek-owned island' to 'Greek island'. Some one should let them know that this is CYPRIOT OWNED ISLAND!!!

Regretfully that guess is the way with modern journalists, who seem to pick up on the same original news-feed from a press agency, change a few words and publish.

If Eric was around perhaps he'd confirm this (or otherwise).

In any event, news of the protests (even if it is the same news re-hashed) has gone global.

And there is no such thing as bad publicity. Hopefully, this will bring present day Cyprus into the world political spotlight whilst leaving the sad history as just that - history. History is water under the bridge. What counts is what you do next, not what went before.

[fig head]

there is a facebook group with thousands of members demanding J-Lo to fuck off !!

i think its such a stupid thing from her to even consider doing any business in the occupied area !!!

but im thinking, she might doesnt have a clue whats going on.. it might be her manager or someone else..

or may be all what she is thinking of is the profit knowing that Cyprus is mainly a British holiday destination and Turkey is mainly American holiday destination..!!!

oh well...

You are absolutely right. And history is bunk.
Do I want to know why you stole my car or do I want it back? I don't care why you stole it, I want it back.
It's not a very good comparison as you either get the whole car or none of it. Countries aren't cars, they can be shared or divided. You can argue about who did what and why, but the better choice would be what you are going to do about it.

I think it's the lure of $3 million dollars she's thinking of. Just like the GCs who leave their ethics behind at the green line when they come to the Casinos up here.
BTW - since when has Turkey been mainly an American holiday destination?

No such thing as bad publicity...? .... Right.... For an International Artist, some one with associations to women's rights, helping out the earthquake victims over in Haiti, some one who in short pays out a small fortune every year for image and good publicity?

Would any kind member within easy distance of VW's please go over and help him.... he seems to have got his head stuck down a Turkish Toilet again.

[Gasman]

Most Americans don't take vacations OUTSIDE of the US. A large percentage of the US population do not even hold passports.

On the latest info I could find for most popular holiday destinations for Americans Europe features largest with UK at the top, then Caribbean (I can confirm this from when I was there), South America, Central America, Africa, and so on dwindling down with Turkey not even getting a mention.

yes but houses are exactly like cars. And the ownership of mine in Morphou and Kyrenia is not "history" as you call it.
