...did the minister visit the Occupation Protest as well?

if not, pity. Cypriots need all the help they can get if there is to be any movement away from the debate being between "Greeks" and "Turks".

Big day tomorrow for a couple of groups associated with the Occupy, with a Bike Protest followed by two simultaneous Marches on both sides of the Green Line for a Demilitarised Nicosia without barbed wire.

Details as posted by the Occupiers...

You can join Critical Mass for a bikeride dedicated to a Demilitarised Nicosia starting at 13h00 at Eleftheria Square. Critical mass will be joining the Demilitarised Nicosia march at the Eleftheria Square (15h00). Demilitarised Nicosia march at the south of the city will start from the end of Ledra Square (14h30). At the north of the city wall, the march will start from the traffic lights leading to Ledra Palace crossing and will be marching to Yiğitler Burcu. There (Pafos Gate), forces from both sides will meet, barbed wire between them - a ridiculous dividing presence. With our march we proclaim that we want no armies, dividing lines or barbed wire to divide its people and scar our beautiful city.

After: We will meet back again at the Ledra st/Lokmaci buffer zone where we will party at the #OBZ (Astral Projection Party) starting at 18h00, to support the movement.

Hateh reh B25... you should know have many fingers and they're in many pies...

... after all no one person or group has the answer to our little problem, but the Occupy and the associated and novel direct actions by a younger generation are a part of the wide range of opinions and approaches and they offer a fraction of a solution, how small or big, only time will tell.

... and anyway without PROTEST, where will we get file????

Well me old son, I admire your tenacity, whatever floats your boat matey.
