I know a lot more now, I know about EOKA, about TMT, about injustices on both sides. All as a result of a tourist coach trip!
I wouldn't be at all surprised if a similar tour is happening in the north too.
Look, its only a bus trip guys - To tell the whole story you'd need a round the world cruise!
What i know that tourist tours shouldn't be politic. It should be enjoyment of the Cyprus. Do u let them free go around sit and talk with local people to learn their own story than they can judge the Cyprus problem freely or just a guide tells them what writes in his propaganda book. As long as we don't guide the humans correctly and they gets one sided information we will not get any solution in Cyprus because other side will be always in defending himself position about untruth.
there is a tours from north to south but TC's goes and nothing is political because all TC's knew the truth no need to tell them.They visit their homes and villages which they left between 1963-1975 and compares past and present times.
