This from the TorontoSun

Jennifer Lopez has withdrawn from a gig in Cyprus after critics slammed her for agreeing to the show on the 36th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of the European island.

The singer was billed to perform at the opening of new hotel complex Cratos Premium in the Turkish Cypriot part of the popular tourist destination on July 20.

But she's scrapped the show after learning it coincides with a day islanders would rather forget, insisting she would never have agreed to the concert in the first place if she knew about the history and relevance of the date.

A representative tells TMZ.com, "After a full review of the relevant circumstances in Cyprus, it was the decision of management to withdraw from the appearance. This was a team decision that reflects our sensitivity to the political realities of the region."

Previously, officials at the Cyprus Action Network of America started a campaign calling on Lopez to scrap the gig as it falls on the anniversary of the date that Turkish troops invaded the Greek-owned island in 1974.

Which islanders would that be, then? Greek islanders or Turkish islanders?
Once again showing that a lot of the worlds press knows only half the story (The Greek Cypriot half).

Silence from our friends in the South.

82% of the islanders.

So, not all the islanders, then? The point is the Toronto Sun writer of the article clearly has no idea of the reality of the island, either then or now.
Like I said, only half the story (or 82% of it).

What happened demonstrates that even though Turkey has the military power to keep on holding the stolen lands, its actions will never be legitimised.

TCs - if you want to stop being seen as the thieves you currently are, push your leadership to come to the negotiating table with positions that are reasonable.

You are 18% of the population and own 12% of the land. Understand that you will never have an effectively independent, ethnically cleansed country on 30% of the island (even if that is what the likes of Annan and Downer promote at the request of their bosses i.e your patrons).

You can have some autonomy and administer say 27% of the land in a true federation, provided that full human rights apply, all GCs go back to their homes etc, as per the agreements in the late 1970s etc.

Or, you can propose an effectively separate state, fully Turkish, ethnically cleansed, on say 18-20% of the island (even this is generous in light of your land ownership).

Both of the above options are fair, even though painful for us, and would be acceptable by GCs at referendum in order to put the past behind.

Continue to reject fairness and demand "spoils of war" at the expense of your GC compatriots and you will continue to receive slaps on the face, as thieves should.

keep dreaming.....I'll wake you up when the time is right.

fine.. you want to continue behaving like dirty little thieves and criminals instead of finding a fair solution? go right ahead.. but don't complain about the world spitting on your face, coz that's what thieves and criminals deserve!

fair solution!!!!!!

You lot need to work out the meaning of that YET.....we have.,...you are there and we are here.
LONG LIVE TRNC..let the Greek neighbours do all the puplicity work for us.

The fact that Turkish Cypriots found themselves in such a situation by 1974 is not a cause for celebration, for it was relief. Keep running away from the facts and nothing gets resolved.
