Why don't you just give up? They were a delegation from a Committee of the EU Parliament on a tour of derelict Orthodox Christian churches and cemeteries in the occupied areas. They don't need "permission" to visit deserted religious monuments and cemeteries. They are everywhere in the north.
The "forbidden military zone" as you put it, is an abandoned church on the edge of a ghost town which the Turkish army insanely guard (as the CM article above aptly puts it).
Do you know how stupid you sound Birkibrisli is asking some valid questions yet you ignore them, these people broke the law and paid the price simple. What you cant accept is that you have no control over the north and we do, you have to obey our laws just as we have to obey yours if we travel south. You need a reality check the "pseudo state" you try to dismiss just slapped you right in the face...gunaydin.If you really believe the Turkish army had no choice but to arrest these people then you truly have sunk to the same level of belligerence and stupidity that keeps Turkish troops "guarding" the abandoned town of Varosha. Now give it a rest.
But why did some get charged and other did not, is the main concern I have.
Read the article I posted Kiks. The others had diplomatic immunity and the
northern authorities who are stickers to International Laws let them go free after it was established that they had immunity. Now its time for guru fasulya yahni; my favourite.
I have some on order for next month. I cant stand hospital food either.
Actually it makes perfect sense, that those who had "Diplomatic Immunity" were not charged and released, including the priest, since he too have his "Diplomatic Immunity" by the order of GOD himself.
The reasoning is, that Turkey is once again demonstrating that the "trnc" is an illegal state without any diplomatic recognition and that the TCs really have zero say so on matters concerning international matters, which will upset poor deluded VP, but those are the facts. But since the north is under the occupation of Turkey and military rule is in effect, Turkey does have International treaties with other countries regarding "Diplomatic Immunity", hence the reason why the military released and not charge those who are protected under those treaties. The RoC is not recognised by Turkey, so the GC guys got thrown into the slammer, as well as one of them given bad hospital food, which he was lucky to have had some TCs share their food with him. In the end, they got charged 200TL for visiting a old church in the north. The fine will help out the financially drained north, as in one Cypriot helping another, but if truth needs to be told, that 200TL bought a lot of bad press for the north and a lot of good press for the RoC. Turkey just washed their hands off the GCs and dealt with the rest, the people that they recognised, as well as the priest. Last thing Turkey wanted again, was more bad news on mistreating a priest after the last Christmas church praying fiasco in the north.
So, there you have it. Turkey once again reinforced that the north is not independent and that they have ZERO International recognition and that the north is under Turkey's rule and that the TCs are just "Kept & Maintained" who have no political rights in the world.
