I am truly sorry for all people.
I heard talk about radiation? I travel to Cyprus tomorrow and I want to know what to expect?

There is no radiation ... where did you read such thing?? It was gunpowder that exploded. All damage is done already!

There have been many discussions on the local TV channels about the possibility that the containers had depleted uranium in some of them. This is totally unconfirmed, and it is depleted uranium, meaning extremely low levels of radiation. So there is a basis to the query.

If the weapons stored had tank shells, it is more than likely that these tank shells had depleted uranium tips, which is designed to penetrate the tanks heavy armour, but since it is depleted, so would be it's radiation level to probably no stronger than what you would get from the sun. But to be on the safe side, all those who has been in close vicinity where the explosion took place, should get checked out for any radiation levels for their own piece of mind. Don't forget, tank
crews are around these depleted uranium tipped shells all the time in their tanks. If it's safe for them, it should be safe to others.

But it was NOT safe

What wasn't safe, Deniz, the depleted Uranium tips on tank shells or the weapons themselves in how they were stored?

The TRNC is genuine in their offer to supply electricity.

As genuine as thieves and usurpers can get.

I do indeed.

Help from Israel arrived. Help from Greece is on the way. The EU as well.

Accepting help from the illegal regime, run by the occupier, that ensures that mostly illegal settlers live in our homes against our will, quite shamelessly, should be our last option one would hope.

There was nothing to offer...

Columnist Huseyin Ekmekci, writing in Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis (12.07.11), wonders which electricity can be given to the Greek Cypriots. He writes that at the moment, when Eroglu offered assistance to the Greek Cypriot side, there was a power cut in the occupied part of Lefkosia. He also writes: "We offer electricity to south Cyprus which we don't have?"

Sounds like "Grandstanding" to me more than anything else. Besides, if the offer from the north was genuine, it should have been offered cost free and not for money, since the north owes the south few millions for the power that the north took from the south cost free for many years. One more indication of the north's "moral values" when it comes to others in time of need.
