07] Efforts to bring foreign reporters to the occupied areas of the Republic of Cyprus in order to cover Jennifer Lopezs performance are underway

Turkish Cypriot daily Halkin Sesi newspaper (30.06.10) reports on the visit of Jennifer Lopez to the occupied areas of the Republic of Cyprus in order to perform at the Cratos Premium Hotel on June 24. Speaking to the newspaper, so-called officials evaluated the arrival of Lopez to the occupied areas as a great event. Specifically, self-styled minister of tourism, Kemal Durust stated that the arrival of such artists to our country is a great advantage for both recognition and tourism. On his part, the self-styled minister of finance, Ersin Tatar noted: Let Lopez come and we will welcome her at the airport. A world star will come and a message will be given to this world. This is an amazing event.
In addition, Mehmet Dolmaci, chairman of the Turkish Cypriot Hoteliers Union (KITOB), said that Lopezs arrival to occupied Cyprus is one of the various events aiming at the promotion of the TRNC. He also expressed the hope that on the day of Lopezs arrival, the illegal airport is not closed due to the recent problems faced in the illegal Turkish Cypriot airlines. Speaking to Halkin Sesi, the former chairman of the Turkish Cypriot Travel and Tourist Agents Assosiation (KITSAB), Ozbek Dedekorkut, described Lopezs arrival as an important event and, inter alia, said that they are underway to bring some reporters from the BBC and other world-famous magazine reporters to the occupied areas of Cyprus in order to cover the event. He added that they tried to act secretly as regards Lopezs arrival, in order not to meet obstacles by the Greek Cypriots.

Furthermore, Cyprus Today newspaper (30.06.10) reports that the contract of the concert, which Jennifer Lopez will give at the invitations-only official opening of Cratos Premium Hotel located in occupied Kazafani, has recently been signed and Ms Lopez is said to have been paid three million dollars for the concert. As the paper notes, it is claimed that she will arrive in the occupied areas of Cyprus two days prior to the concert with her 80-strong entourage and will spend three days there.

In the meantime, the paper, referring to the arrival of another world-famous artist, Beyoncé, to the occupied areas of Cyprus as promised by the self-styled mayor of occupied Lefkosia, Cemal Bulutoglulari, writes: Meanwhile, Beyoncé is unlikely to follow in the footsteps of her rival [Jennifer Lopez] on stage, screen and celluloid. Mr Bulutoglulari had promised Beyoncé would perform in [occupied] Lefkosia this year after a sell-out Tarkan gig in the capital, organised by the municipality, last September. But he and municipality officials have remained tight-lipped about the prospect of the multi-millionaires coming. A letter was sent inviting Beyoncé to perform in North Cyprus [the occupied areas of the Republic of Cyprus], but she currently has no plans to tour...

Meanwhile, Onur Basturk, a magazine commentator in Turkish daily Hurriyet newspaper (online, 30.06.10), refers, inter alia, to the visit of Jennifer Lopez to occupied Cyprus and wonders who is the owner of Cratos Premium Hotel. Mr Onur Basturk writes: Contrary to what it is believed, the hotel does not belong to a foreign partnership. It is an entirely Turkish business. It is a hotel made by a constructions family coming from the Black Sea, by father Utku Bozoglu and his sons Murat and Kemal. The family is known as Boz Grubu in the sector.

Reh Impostoliedus, have a read of the post just above, the bits in bold, and you'll see what the fuss is about. This Jay-Lo business is part of a campaign, with more propaganda events promised, for recognition by the back door.

Stars can be bought, and we all know that the Illegal Regime has bottomless pockets when it comes to propaganda. Too many of today's stars wouldn't turn down the chance of an exclusive, top-notch holiday in CY and three million dollars for a couple of hours work.

Crikey Bill! You still don't get it. Of course it's a propaganda stunt. It may not make J-Lo look good, coming to TRNC, but it makes TRNC look good her coming.
Promise me you'll buck-up!

When Carreras appeared at salamis ,there was no fuss made , and people around the world did not know anything about it, the trnc thought it was great publicity , but was it . now if jlo had come and gone without any of this fuss ,there would have been very little coverage, but the gc lobby have created a huge publicity steamroller for the trnc,,,,I am afraid most outsiders know very little and care even less about the cyprus prob,

Totally agree.
We have J-Lo and the GCs to thank for bringing the CyProb to the worlds attention.
There is an English saying "Let sleeping dogs lie." The GCs may yet regret waking this particular dog up.

so why are you all here complaining? Let them make their fuss on facebook and in the worlds press and you can reap the rewards of the publicity.

One question though, what are you going to do with all this publicity? Your "airport" decides which planes to allow to land on an ad hoc basis as if it wasn't hard enough to travel there anyway and your airline has gone bust....

The rest of the world will not and have not fallen for there propaganda!!

Not sure what that has to do with the thread (I'll expect the kitchen sink soon), but I think of it quite often and it makes me laugh. They are citizens of the RoC and if they need financial aid and benefits, then the state must pay them. Not you, the state. They are your rules if you don't like them vote for someone who will change them.
