then they too would be enjoying very high standards of living as other RoC citizens.

Can you kindly give us details as I have yet to see things in the south which we do not have in the north, the standard of living is very similar'

Have you stopped taking your tablets? Your hallucinations are back.

Is no wonder nobody takes the north claim of being deprived due to isolation seriously.!

Lots of comments nothing concrete, what is so great about the south?

It’s free, democratic, independent, recognized, legal, modernized, progressive, wealthier, has social security, better wages, more opportunities, provides govt funding, better healthcare, better facilities… what more do you want?

It's not a dumping ground for cheap Anatolian labourers and whoremongers. Or a haven for carpetbaggers, looters, war criminals and the Turkish mafia.

In fact, the free areas of the ROC are everything the north isn't: a proper modern nation state. As opposed to an unrecognised piss-pot kleptocracy.

The meeting on then 2nd is again related to the economic cut backs it has nothing to do with finding a solution you morons are trying to use the situations to score a few brownie points and boost your own biased egos. Turkey will never leave the island without a solution you have always claimed they have strategic interests what has changed?

But if Turkey has already spoken against giving any more extra money to the "trnc", what's the point in having a second demonstration, unless it is to become confrontational with Turkey's presence in the north..??

Turkey cannot get the kind of settlement she wants, like the Annan Plan which would have given her control of the whole island and have influence in the EU through the north state. That dream has come on gone in 2004, so now she is stuck in Cyprus and can't just pull out without looking pretty silly, having invested so much in the north already and the prospect of being seen as defeated by the small country like the RoC. Turkey would rather pull out by having the TCs telling her to pull out just so to save face, which then she can concentrate on her EU dreams, because she is not getting anywhere with the EU, unless Turkey does leave Cyprus.

Turkey once may have thought she had "strategic interests" in Cyprus, but that too has come and gone. I can't see ANY "strategic interests" Turkey can have in Cyprus for her security that she cannot manage from her own shores only 60 miles away. Turkey's strategic interests are nothing but a "Red Herring" to stay in Cyprus until she can find a way to leave the island and save face same time.

Looks like she may have gotten it now by making the TCs angry by provoking them with the cuts in money supply and calling the TCs "ungrateful kept parasites".! It's all going to be downhill from here on, so you better buckle your seat for a rough ride, now that Turkey sent in the "arm twister" for an ambassador when he is not even a diplomat, Turkey is gradually relinquishing her recognition of the "trnc". At this moment in time, Turkey does not see the "trnc" as a independent country. She is on her way out and so is the "trnc", so get use to it.

Ill ask you the same question as well, how long do you need to know how wrong you were and how stupid you really are?

In time, we will all know everything.!

Let me ask you a very simple question which really relates to my above post. Do you think Erdogan and all his inner circle advisers are all stupid and ignorant bunch as to how much civil servant earn in the "trnc" for him to say this

Erdoğan said. "the lowest salary for a Turkish Cypriot civil servant was TL 10,000 -- a figure later disputed by Eroğlu, who said as president, even he does not make that much money."

Why would Erdogan make such a statement by saying that the LOWEST pay in the north for civil servants was 10,000 TL when he knows damn well that is not the case. Why would he say that, if it wasn't to really get the Turks in Turkey up in arms since their civil servant would earn just a fraction of the 10,000TL. I think it was a deliberate intent on Erdogan's part to get the Turks in Turkey to be against Turkey spending money in the north and being in Cyprus to protect bunch of ungratefuls. At the same time, get all the TCs pissed off in the north for his insulting attacks. It's called "killing two birds with one stone". If you tell me that Erdogan is stupid and ignorant of the facts in the north as far as civil servants pay goes, then ignore my post as being silly. So, which is it.??

OK, VP is not answering the above questions, which then he must think that Erdogan and all his staff are "stupid and ignorant" of the facts with the salaries of the public workers in the "trnc". That being the case then, I don't know how these people are managing to rule over 70+ million Turks. Perhaps the 70+ million are also all "stupid and ignorant" for following them.!
