So having to use a Greek Cypriot Passport to travel around the world is not an example of isolation, run the reasons past me again, kinda got fragmented, I'd love to respond.
Roll up, roll up....

Come on, lost your argument, let's do a detailed analysis if you want. Let me not waste my time if all you want to do is clip and paste with quickie 1 liners which show we exist yet ignore the lack of freedoms we have. Give me your best reason in depth that the isolation/embargo does not exist.
Else they'll say Bill lost his bottle or his reasons were weak.
Step up to the plate, minnie mouse, mighty mouse, or the Goebbels upon whom he fashions his raison d'etre let's find out....

Seriously, whats a Greek Cypriot passport?

Would it be a passport issued by the Greek Cypriot Government (there are no TCs in it)?
I believe you apply at the Greek Cypriot Ministry (No TCs their either).

idiot. If its the Cypriot Interior ministry you're talking about I know of 2 tc's employed there.

One making coffee and one sweeping up?

.....and one in the Cyprus High Commision in London.

oooh so pleeeeeeesed we've reawakened this recent thread...

Here's a picky of the Power Station over at Dhekalia...




... and here's an interesting fact ( a bit dated but fact nevertheless)...

From the outset of bicommunal clashes in 1963 up to 1974 the Turkish Cypriots consumed electricity valued at 3,470,000 CP without paying for its supply. This supply of electricity continued after the invasion of 1974, even though apart from the Turkish Cypriots the consumers now included the Turkish occupation forces. During 1974-1999 a total 151,299,000 CP worth of electricity was supplied to the occupied part of Cyprus.

Gawd... these Isolations and Embargoes are a bit peculiar aren't they?

What about the money you made from what you stole, can you give us the figures on that?

It's high time we made the myth into a reality and stopped welcoming this occupation!

You scabby lot are so lucky, so whilst VP is looking for a coin to put in the meter here's another picky...

This is the Dam over at Kalopanayiotis...




and here are some facts about the alleged Isolations and Embargoes...



The Government of the Republic provides a regular supply of water to occupied areas of the districts of Nicosia and Famagusta and to the region of Pyla. Between January 1974 and August 2001 the Government offered to the Turkish Cypriots 79,865,425 cm of water, of total value C£14,152,099, for which no payment has been received. The Government likewise undertakes the maintenance and repair works needed for the dams providing water to the occupied areas.

This is a really minor one granted, but a little amusing.

Oh a picky first, almost forgot...




(again the figures are from a few years ago)...

The Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (CYTA) regards Cyprus as a unified whole and makes no distinction regarding the granting of its services. CYTA is not able to provide its services to the part of Cyprus occupied by the Turkish army. CYTA's network in Nicosia is connected to only 14 telephone lines in the occupied part of Nicosia. Another 4 lines serve the residence and office of the Turkish Cypriot leader, Mr. Rauf Denktash.

Roll on the Roc, keep providing the squatters with free electric, water, telephone, medical, pensions and anything else, why the hell would they give up and leave???

We must be stark raving mad. And we even have the cheek to sit down and negotiate away the country to the invaders.

We deserve everything we get, serves us bloody well right.

We must be the biggest bunch of twats going and it pains me to say it.

We must be our own worst enemy.

here's something else on education, which we were talking about last week...

(again the figures are dated)...

The right of Turkish Cypriot youth to education has been protected by the Government, which covers all expenses in fees and transportation costs to private schools of the choice of their parents. During the academic year 2000-2001 the Government spent a total 89,677 for 50 Turkish Cypriot youths studying in private schools of elementary, secondary and higher education.

On 21.2.2001 the Council of Ministers decided that the regulation providing for the obligatory teaching of the Greek language to Greek Cypriot students in private schools will also apply to the Turkish Cypriots. Private schools with Turkish Cypriots students up to the age of 15 must offer these students at least 6 hours of instruction in the Turkish language every week and a sum of 6,000 has been set aside by the government for this purpose.

The Turkish Cypriots are also eligible for the assistance of C£1,000 provided by the Government to all Cypriot citizens pursuing University education. Since 1997 the Government has granted this sum to all Turkish Cypriot employees of the British Military Bases.
