All in all FIVE "ministers" in the TRNC "government" are Cypriot passport holders, among them the "minister for energy!

The other four are: Foreign affairs, public finance, education, youth and sport, health.

The revelations are from today's TC papers who took their info from the official population census lists of the RoC.

So much for not recognising the RoC as the legitimate government and all that stuff they dish out for the average TC in the street.

[CBBB]

I seem to recall that Serdar Denktash and his family have RoC passports as well.

Is the so-called "minister of foreign affairs" Huseyin Ozgurgun on the list? If so, this idiot yesterday said that GCs should forget about the return of Morphou and Varosia under a settlement.What a bloody hypocrite! He should be stripped of his citizenship!

[Get Real!]

“Turkish Cypriots” indeed! More like illiterate Turkish thugs!

[Nikitas]

Yes, Ozgurgun is one of our RoC compadres according to the TC press.

[B25]

So ask any TC why they have RoC passports, free medicals, pensions all with no contribution and they will say, its our right.

Then ask them why GC cannot return to their homes, fish in the north, open a business in the north and they will say you have no rights.

Typical Turk mentality, just want, want, want. In the end, they will get a big fat villo, and they will desrve it.

Yes... Rights, rights, rights... we do so much live in a rights demanding world. So many rights, and if we don't have a right for something ... well, we'll just dream the right up.

Yep it's rights all the way nowadays... and in our new something for nothing world it's claiming rights without any responsibilities.

[Maximus]

They are

I seem to recall that Serdar Denktash and his family have RoC passports as well.

They are nuckle grazing, branch swinging apes. They will not let go of one branch until they have a firm grip on the other.

Here is the original article translated:

Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen (12.10.11) reports that the self-styled minister of foreign affairs Huseyin Ozgurgun, self-styled minister of finance Ersin Tatar, self-styled minister of education, youth and sports Kemal Durust, self-styled minister of health Ahmet Kasif and self-styled minister of economy and energy Sunat Atun are holders of the Republic of Cyprus' passports.

Columnist Aysu Basri Akter, writing in the same paper publishes the following commentary, under the title "Ozgurgun's passport":

Today, the Turkish Cypriots not only take passports, but they also benefit from the Republic of Cyprus' civil rights. With these passports, they benefit from specific conditions in education and in health.

Today, the Turkish Cypriots not only take passports, but for any kind of health problems the first they trust South Cyprus. With the health cards they benefit from broad health services for paying nearly nothing.

Today not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also the people who come from Turkey and settle in Cyprus demand to get this passport, and use legal means in order for their children who are born here [Translator's note: in the occupied areas of Cyprus] to gain these rights.

Greek Cypriot lawyers are also deal with these cases.

Today the Turkish Cypriots, not only take passports, but they also work at South Cyprus? Some even prefer to live there.

While Ozgurgun was making complaints about this at Turkey's Assembly, in the reality, he confessed that this land, which they named republic, cannot protect its citizens.

Otherwise, why are there en masse demands of ministers, MPs, and nearly the whole number of people of a country in order to get the citizenship of another republic?

There must be another meaning apart from being deceived.

In reality, the Greek Cypriots should complain, and not our politicians for the passports which the Turkish Cypriots take. Because, the Greek Cypriots pay taxes and only those who's earning within certain limits, may benefit from privileges in the public services.

For the Turkish Cypriots, however, there is not such limitation. They are not evaluated having as criteria their profit, staying in the South or paying taxes.

Words alone cannot build either democracy or a state."

Self-styled Foreign Minister of the pirate state Ozgurgun turns out to be a "Greek Cypriot citizen"!

‘TRNC ministers’ hypocrisy over RoC passports exposed

AFTER reportedly saying that Turkish Cypriots were being “deceived” into obtaining Republic of Cyprus (Roc) passports ‘TRNC Foreign Minister’ Huseyin Ozgurgun, has been named in a newspaper as being a recipient himself.

“The Greek Cypriots deceive our young people, the Turkish Cypriots, with the passport,” Ozgurgun was quoted as saying in Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen.

The paper on Tuesday then published a copy from RoC’s civil registry showing that Ozgurgun himself holds a passport of the Republic.

The story also blew the whistle yesterday on another four ‘government ministers’ in the north who hold RoC passports.

Those are ‘Finance Minister’ Ersin Tatar; ‘Economy and Energy Minister’ Sunat Atun; ‘Tourism, National Education, Youth and Sports Minister’ Kemal Durust; and ‘Health Minister’ Ahmet Kasif.

Ozgurgun had told the Turkish Grand National Assembly that 100,000 Turkish Cypriots hold RoC passports, Yeni Dunzen reported.

Ozgurgun had said that the benefits of having a European Union (EU) passport attracted young Turkish Cypriots, who use RoC passports to study or work in the EU, effectively being turned into “Greek Cypriot citizens”.

This was described as a “dangerous development” in the Turkish Press, Yeni Duzen said.

Their columnist, Aysu Basri Akter, said yesterday that Ozgurgun’s comments showed “that this land, which they named a republic, cannot protect its citizens. Otherwise, why are there en masse demands of ministers, MPs, and nearly the whole number of people of a country in order to get the citizenship of another republic?”

“It should not be forgotten that the Turkish Cypriots have rights in the republic called (the) Republic of Cyprus,” journalist Rasih Resat wrote last week in his column for daily Haberdar, commenting on Ozgurgun’s remarks.

Right wing Turkish Cypriot daily Volkan yesterday named an individual as the source of the leaked documents exposing the high ranking officials in the north.

Ozgurgun had previously taken issue with the fact that TCs could not travel freely on passports issued in the north.
