What a bunch of idiots. There is no excuse for such behaiviour.

I like LIBERTY and what is stands for but LIBERTY is for all and not just a select part of a community.

Mass act 'regrettable'

David Lidington
LONDON - British Minister for Europe David Lidington has described the interruption of the Christmas Day liturgy in Risokarpaso, in Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus, as ``deeply regrettable.``
He also pointed out that any candidate country that wants EU membership has to apply the democratic values that are central to the European Union, including the freedom to express religion and to worship freely.
Lidington`s remarks came during Foreign and Commonwealth questions in the British Parliament when Conservative MP, Mike Freer, asked on what discussions the Minister has had with his EU counterparts on the disruption of a Christmas Day service in Rizokarpaso, Cyprus.
Responding, Lidington said they have not had discussions in an EU context ``on this deeply regrettable incident,`` adding ``my officials in Nicosia have met Archbishop Chrysostomos and made representations to senior political figures in the north of the island to emphasise the importance that we accord to allowing people in all parts of Cyprus to practise their religion freely.``

condemn it then, mr lidington - and start trade sanctions against turkey... as a first step to declaring war if she doesn't withdraw her occupying army from cyprus's shores? where's the falklands' spirit, man?

yes well one will have to ask why don't the UN and EU impose economic sanctions on Turkey till she removes the occupying forces from Cyprus. The answer is till now we didn't have gas or oil.
