I will not accept the answer that they were from the EU parliament,full stop...That is answering the question 'which organisation do they belong?".

The question remains...If they were on a mission,'Who" in the EU parliament gave them that mission...Get back to me when you find the answer...

The MEPs that were held against their will and interrogated by the Turkish Army of Occupation were all members of the Petitions Committee of the European Parliament. A standing committee of the European Parliament elected from and by Euro MEPs.

The Petitions Committee receives a large number of petitions from EU Citizens and part of their remit is to investigate matters raised by petitioners, and to report their findings to the European Parliament and to take up the matters raised with the European Commission if necessary on the behalf of petitioners,

A petition was sent to the European Parliament by a large number of Varoshiotes and (I believe) senior members of the CY Church, hence the visit.

I think the Turkish army should be congratulated for giving these EU officials such a useful insight into the illegal and arbitrary way they administer the occupied areas. This surely brought back powerful memories to the arrested Polish MEPS whose country was also, until recently, under military occupation.

No doubt all the members of this delegation will return to the European Parliament with a much clearer understanding of just what sort of place the "TRNC" is. It should prove invaluable for the work they are doing on behalf of their petitioners.

I am a Turkish Cypriot,belonging to the community who stood between your bloodthirsty ancestors and Enosis with Greece...T also stands for True Cypriots...We stood up and prevented your treacherous ambition to give away our country...We are the true sons and daughters of Cyprus...You are just Greek-wanna-bes who believe who shouts louder is right...No need to close any gates...If you go to the trnc and break the law you will get arrested every time...I hope that lesson has gone into your thick head..Now back under the rock!

Thank you,Bill...Finally someone capable of answering a simple question with a clear answer...So the MEP's were petitioned by former residents of Varoshia to visit this particular church...I wonder if they were told they risked getting arrested because the church was in a forbidden military zone??? What do you think?

What do you think?

In a statement made (after their release) by those arrested, the MEPs had everyright to go to anywhere they wished under EU rules. Since Cyprus was covered by that rule, they deemed they too had that authority.

There is nothing 'arbitrary' and 'illegal' about the way the trnc is run,Hermes...The law is clear...Enter a forbidden military zone and you get arrested...It is indeed very predictable..I wonder though,do these MEPs now think they might be lured into a trap by their petitioners,and hence used for propaganda purposes??? I think these MEPs now know much better what sort of place Cyprus is overall...

Did they now? So they knew they would be arrested,and went ahead to prove a point anyway...Isn't that what provocateurs do???
