The Future of Cyprus

Postby halil » Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:52 am

At the beginning of this month the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan visited Northern Cyprus and promised structural changes and major projects to boost the local economy. Alongside required curbs to some public spending and the privatization of universities and airlines, apparently he is planning ‘a facelift’ for the North.

However, the bottom line is that the island remains divided, and the current leader in Turkey doesn’t seem to ‘care’ about reunification. The Greek Cypriots have never wanted it either, so is Cyprus about to become officially divided and remain so? It’s certainly more divided in terms of its fortunes than it was just 4 years ago.

It’s ultimately an interesting time to live in Cyprus. The north is no longer home to those seeking to buy cheap property and eek out a living cleaning pools and living on fresh air. At the same time there has been a strong exodus in terms of investment in the South. The nation (north and south) is facing challenges, but there seem to be far more opportunities in Northern Cyprus right now.

If you want a low tax business destination then choose the south, but if you want to live somewhere with great hope, choose the North. Either way, both sides of the island are better than bankrupt, rioting Britain

The story does not tell the facts about stolen GC properties, however, because The GCs are still the legal owners of their properties that are being sold illegally to the foreigners, The IPC has not solved this massive problem for the illegal buyers and sellers of GCs properties in the north. It has ONLY solved the problems of few GCs who want to sell their properties through the IPC, therefore, the article is not factual at all.

Should You Buy Property in North Cyprus or South Cyprus?

Property in North Cyprus does remain far cheaper than property in southern Cyprus however…but that’s partly because of the title deeds dilemma. However, thanks to the European Courts, the issue has been all but solved.

Disputes are now handled in Northern Cyprus by the Immovable Property Commission.

Halil at present they send you 40,000 students spending their money there for free.
What do you predict will happen as soon as all those Unis become private, and the students will have to pay say 3-5000 Euros per annum?

Halil, the Greek Cypriots are the ones who want unification. A REAL unification without any kind of borders or divisions. Partition has been a Turkish invention from the 50s and it remains a Turkish aim.

If we could have it our way then Turks would have never come to our island in the first place and we would be saved from the crimes and oppression inflicted on us since then.

But, unlike your demands for our ethnic cleansing, we never supported that anything like that should happen to the Turkish minority in Cyprus. We have other minorities from other former rulers (and not only) and we respect them as they respect us, and the right of the Cypriot people as a whole to democratically choose what to do with their own island (and this includes uniting with Greece, EU or China - if that is what the majority of the population democratically elects). Unfortunately your minority has not integrated with the native Cypriot population and remains an extension of Turkey in Cyprus, which is using you as an excuse to impose her terms on our island and refuse to Cyprus its freedom.
