BKP says the occupied part of Cyprus has become the backyard of Turkey

Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (10.08.10) reports that Abdullah Korkmazhan, Organizing Secretary of the United Cyprus Party (BKP), expressed the view yesterday that the occupied northern part of Cyprus has been turned into the backyard of Turkey with the new casinos which are opened every day, the night clubs, the offshore banks and the centres of money laundering.
In a written statement, Korkmazhan said that a great erosion of the Turkish Cypriot community is being experienced and that the only way out is to reach an early solution to the Cyprus problem.

Korkmazhan noted that a complete chaos exists in the economy, politics and society in the occupied part of Cyprus. He added that the change of the demographic structure with the systematic transfer of population, the process of assimilation [of the Turkish Cypriots] and the fact that the island is being given away to Turkish capital in the name of privatization of institutions which belong to Turkish Cypriots, are practices which aim at the division of the island and at turning it into Taiwan. He said that the Turkish Cypriot community is on the verge annihilation.

Whats good for the goose.......................etc.

The Republic of Cyprus, meanwhile, already is a member of the EU since May 1, 2004 -- a major step forward and indeed a historic moment for the Greek-Cypriot republic that has very close ties with Greece.
