It is raising awaresness that there is a situation (division) in Cyprus that many don't know about. Everyone knows there is always at least 2 sides to a story and yours is only one of them.

So are they hearing about...

UN RESOLUTION 541 (1983)

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.

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.

Trust you to get the wrong end of the stick.
I wasn't talking about J.Lo, ref publicity, I was talking about TRNC.
Kick up a fuss about someone as famous as her visiting and ask people to try to stop her coming and some of them might just ask "why?"
Careful they don't take your version of the "truth" with a pinch of salt.
In the mean time, TRNC gets loads of free publicity, like you couldn't buy.

You really are a bit of a simpleton mate, if you don't mind me saying.

That's OK, mate. Perhaps a genius like you could fault my logic?

J. Lo is on a promise for $3m.
Before she arrives TRNC gets loads of free air time.
You kick up such a fuss she doesn't come.
TRNC gets all that free air time AND keeps the $3m.
Tell me where I'm going wrong here..

Sorry mate, you can't expect to be spoon-fed all the time. You're a big boy now so go figure out your faults for yourself.

VP ... another LINK ...

This one from the USA broadcaster ABC ...

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wir ... d=11106809

Is this one OK Gassy? Don't have time to check them... so many of them.

[Viewpoint]

So? don't look like shes backing out.

[bill cobbett]

A word of caution to those of you visiting the Facebook Protest.

You won't be surprised to hear that it does come under regular attacks from the usual scummier elements with what I believe is called malware or links to dodgy sites. So do be careful.

Here's another link for you VP...

So? don't look like shes backing out.

Admittedly, it would be a difficult manoeuvre, the size of her arse.

[Malapapa]

In the mean time, TRNC gets loads of free publicity, like you couldn't buy.

And what is this free publicity saying?

It is raising awaresness that there is a situation (division) in Cyprus that many don't know about. Everyone knows there is always at least 2 sides to a story and yours is only one of them.

So what's your side of the story?

Walking away isn't the same as scoring a point. Stay and tell me where I'm wrong.
