The occupation regime has decided on the holiest days of the Christian world to forbid Christmas mass from happening in the churches of Yialousa and Rizokarpaso. despite being given permits from months ago, the priests were informed yesterday during mass that they will not be allowed to celebrate Christmas this year.

They were in such a hurry to stop this that they interrupted mass on Saturday and kicked everyone out of the church.


All right! Merry Christmas

... and still no government official of GC administration, Greek government or EU officials condemn this meaningless act...? ... not even Afrika collumnists?

the roc government should show some chutzpah and demand an apology from the xmas-stealing turkish grinches. wot say u, insan?

According to my researches, it is said that the Christians living in Northern Cyprus should get the required permisiion from the TRNC authorities for such mass gatherings... that's why they had not been allowed for Christmas mass...

if the religous leaders of Christian community living in TRNC imply they don't recognize the TRNC authorities; why should TRNC authorities recognize their unlawful mass gathering?

Is it too difficult for these priests to go to relevant TRNC authorities to ask the required official permission? I'm sure it is not... It is obvious that their aim was not celebrating Christmas but creating a political polemic...

It is inappropriate for priests to abuse special religious days for a so-called political gain...

Oddly enough, I haven't heard such a counter argument from the so-called authorities of the TRNC in response to the sneaky politics of the priests...

Insan, with this post, you have shown that you are an absolute fucking wanker and I hate you.

A permit to celebrate a religious day, is not the same as mass gatherings as the fucking turks do on every street corner. The people would largely have consisted of old age people who would have posed no threat to you or anyone else.

perhaps the Fucking Saltan Hala tekke should be exposed to the same treatment and not be given any permit. How the F would you like it then, you moron.

Fucking Turkish scumbags.

Are the regular prayers at Mosques subject to any sort of control or requirement for a permit? If not then there is clear and unnaceptable discrimination which is prohibited under art 14 of the ECHR to which the Turkey is a signatory.

It seems that Cyprus is full of.....a lot of brainless idiots and a lot of brainless isiots who support these actions. Any normal human being should be able to condemn all these idiotic actions; whether they are football/basketball hooligans of some shtupid authority banning a GO Christmas Service.
Why should a people have permission to carry out a service in their own church, in their own and and by their own priests is beyond me. There can never be any justification for such tit-4-tat childish behaiviour by any 'legal' authority. So north Cyprus is a democratic place is it? What a joke. Some people up there simply wish to live in a make believe paradise where 'racial purity' (a Joke) will prevail. The authorities in the north or is it Ankara, need to be trephinated. Methinks they have water on the brain.
One word for the partitionists is that we have to get our own house in order before we can criticise the RoC. We know that no side is an angel but tit-4-tat shtupidness ain't the answer.

Now where is that cf bully. I need to have a word in her ear hole.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, or should I have said you should all have had a lovely peaceful Christmas during this period od goodwill, but from what I have seen, it has been far from the truth. Its like '21st December 1963 revisited'.

i hope u asked the relevant authorities in Grinchland for permission to create such a ridiculous political polemic. i'm sure they would have given it their full approval.

A permit was given in november to the priest and it has been revoked without an explanation why.

What kind of country is it that requires a 'permit' from the'authorities' for some one to practice their religion? Has the world gone crazy? Is this the sort of freedom TCs are looking forward to? I would feel ashamaed to live in such a place. Well, I was ashamed when I saw the state of the Catholic church almost righ in the middle of touristic Kyrenia. Have people no shame? Why is this allowed to go on? Absolutely disgusting. If we wish to aspire for higher things we must do utmost to educate ourselves and behave like decent human beings. Just because one does a 'tit' we do not have to do the 'tat'.
