The recent events in the Turkish occupied Karpasia has caused turmoil among the enclaved Greek Cypriots living in the area. According to newspaper Phileleftheros at least five houses were recently taken over by illegal settlers from Turkey after the death of their rightful owners while the occupation authorities did anything about it. This practice had stopped a long time ago but appears to be making a comeback especially after the occupying authorities force the enclaved Greek Cypriots to appoint a property manager who will take their property after their death instead of being given to their legal heirs.

And the surprise is?
When you're dealing with terrorists, you have to be prepared for things like this.

Today (Saturday) I travelled into Welling to get my weekly Cypriot supplies. I was with my wife when I heard the following conversation between a shop-worker and an elderly female customer.
Customer: 'where are these tomato's from?'
shop worker:'I think they are from the Nederlands.'
Cust: 'Are they like Cypriot tomato's?
Worker: Ah, are you from Cyprus?
Cust: 'yes I am'.
Worker: 'From whereabouts?'

At this stage it was obvious the worker was from Turkey and probably of Kurdish origin.

Cust: 'I am from Limasol.'
Worker: 'Oh, where is that?, I have never heard of that place; does it have a Turkish name?'
Cust: 'No!! It has always been called Limasol'.
Worker: 'Thats strange'.
Cust: 'Have you ever been to Cyprus?'
Worker: 'No, but I will be going there in two months time. They will give me land and property in a place called Karpaz (Carpasia). They say there are a lot of donkeys there.
Customer: 'Yes, there are plenty donkeys there; they are nice donkeys'
Worker: 'I have been waiting to go to Cyprus for a long time, they say it is a beautiful place.'

I gathered my pastourma and baby cucumbers and the shopping basket, paid the bill and left burried deeply in dark thoughts.

Its midnight now and my blood is still boiling.

In the good olde days, teachers would wait with horror for their new appointments - not knowing where they will be sent by the education authorities.
Or villages would wait with great expectations for their 'invite'/visa to emigrate to places like Australia. They would jmp up and down with joy, while the families would secretly 'mourn' the event.

Perhaps its the way these setlers fate is destined. They are on a waiting list of sorts. Then told to 'settle in Cyprus' at a given date. These must be like a lottery for these people. In the meantime they are earning a living in the UK. God knows.
