it's the economic measures imposed by turkey that has brought them out on the street, of course. but wot matters is they're revolting. how far will they go, do you think?


Being realistic how do far do you think they can go when the purse strings are controlled by Turkey.

These purse-strings may have been controlled by Turkey in the past, but increasingly the money to subsidise such things as pensions, health care etc are increasingly being met by the Republic, with infrastructure projects being funded by the EU.

Bottom line is that Turkey is no longer willing to keep the CYs living under its Illegal Occupation in the style to which they have become accustomed, and the funds from the Property Scam have dried up.

You are so ignorant the total the EU has given the TRNC is 259 million Euros Turkey pumps in 500 million dollars every year.

Pensions are not a gift they were earnt by the recipients by contributions made before 1974.

VP you are entitled to your views and delusions. What we are seeing here is the beginning of the end of the wealthy TC's living on the backs of others. The fact that people have taken to the streets to say we want Turkey out they are now realising that what they can have in a United RoC is better than what they got in the last 35 years. The same way they rallied against Denktas they are rallying now against Turkey and Eroglu.

I am just proud to sit back and watch your illegal regime topple and it will. People all around the world are seeing how the free live and they want to experience it. TC's are coming around to realise what they can have rather than what they currently have.

Like I said you are entitled to your beliefs as I am to mine.

"Topple" I thing just this word alone tells us whose deluded, if a man is earning 4000 euros a month and you tell him he will be getting a rise does that make him any less wealthy? he can take to the streets and protest but again it doesnt make him any less wealthy. You wish that was the case because that fuels your misguided and biased beliefs.
