"Jennifer Lopez would never knowingly support any state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human rights abuse," the statement said. It added that it was a team decision "that reflects our sensitivity to the political realities of the region."

Of all the comments listed criticizing her decision, this is the one that amused me most: "Once again the Turks suffer from continued embargoes," said one post from the Facebook forum. "Jennifer Lopez is coming ... my Greek friends live with it."

The right decision in the end. As soon as Lopez's representatives looked into the "realities" they found a story of human rights abuse, military occupation and ethnic cleansing. Not the glitzy party they were promised.

The "TRNC" tried to use Jennifer Lopez to give credence to their discredited pariah state. Instead the world is now more aware of what a grubby, nasty little entity the "TRNC" really is.

This episode has rebounded on the occupation regime and their financial backers. Their pariah status stands and we will not let them forget it.

It is to her credit that Jennifer Lopez has withdrawn from participating in such a sordid enterprise. The money must have been tempting but millions of dollars wouldn't have compensated her for the loss of self-respect and the indignity of entertaining war criminals, rapists and plunderers for cold hard cash.

See my reply above.

Here's a clue. The first part of her statement refers to her not wishing to give tacit support to an entity that violates human rights.

If the land the pseudo-Cratos hotel is built on belongs to a refugee, she would be sued for trespass in the US courts for a start.

Imagine they would spend 4 million $ to have her there! How the hell do you explain that? Surely such an expenditure cannot be excused by ANY financial reasoning

[boomerang]

she pulled out of the gig coz she feared she couldn't out perform turkey's invasion, coupled with mass murder and ethnic cleansing...she just couldn't stand a second place...

Let's see.
Initially she was going to gig in the "trnc" because, like you, she was clueless about the realities, thinking, like you, those "quotation" marks around the "trnc" were not significant. Then, someone filled her in on the realities (rapes, ethnic cleansing, stolen properties etc) and this is what she decided to do:

... but she says realities of the REGION... not myths and exagerrated, biased version of events took place in Cyprus...

According to the many un laws and eu. All they have to do is some research and see it's true and they know it's a big mistake to go to an illegal state with such bad history and future.
