I don't think we should sell any of our national assets, if it can be avoided. Cypriots worked hard to rebuild the economy since the 1974 invasion - and are still suffering from the loss of more than half their territorial assets.

is 37 more or less than 50?

As well as the northern part of the island originally (pre-1974) having most of the hotels, infrastructure and agriculture per meter of land; the RoC has lost control of over 50% of its coastline; which being a tourist destination is a very valuable commodity.

Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, has a coastline of 735 km in length: 295 km under the control of the Republic of Cyprus (40%), 370 km under Turkish occupation since 1974 and inaccessible (50,3%) and 70 km within the Sovereign British Military Bases.

ah, coast line, the same argument Turkey fallaciously deploys to justify its illegal claims over the EEZ of the ROC, but only 37% of the land area, the territory, is occupied.

What are you talking about? The coastline I refer to is the land territory, the beach, that defines the island and not coastal waters or EEZ. Are you now disputing geography to support Turkey's occupation?

And why do you insist on saying "only 37% of the land area"? Have you measured every mountain in Kyrenia? I told you Cyprus has lost >50% territorial assets - the main being the beaches (50.3%). But also, hotels, infrastructure, monuments Churches etc - these are the territorial assets not just plain fields.

Now, try to be cogent instead of playing your silly points.

So, what percentage of the land area of Cyprus is occupied by them...?

You should know, you have posted it enough times on this forum...

40%, 40%, 40%, like a demented parrot... but now you claim it is ">50% [of] territorial assets"...?

You couldn't make it up....

I understand you are a fat tart living as a chav in a London council flat, probably overdosing on chocolate and cakes, too much sugar if giving your brain a rush and that is why you spout so much crap. You are a bloody lunatic that gets everything wrong. Try eating some GREEK yoghurt and dieting.

[supporttheunderdog]

when have I ever supported the Tur*sh occupation,.....??I have always roundly condemned that continuing evil act.

The fact remains that 37% of the land area is occupied - and yes it probably does contain a greater percentage of assets, most of which are rightfully owned by the displaced Greek speaking Cypriots, whose right of return I generally support, along with that of Turkish Speaking Cypriots to return to properties they left in the Free areas.

My only problem with GiG is that she doesn't embrace our Turkish Cypriot compatriots (I'm not talking about the settlers)...

[Oceanside50]

What Ms Oracle is trying to say, is that after the Turk invasion in 74, Cyprus as a whole actually lost more then 50% of its economic output potential, probably closer to 75-80%...Firstly the agricultural lands,( thousands of acres) between Morphou, Kyrenia and the fertile plain between Famagusta and Nicosia. Secondly the coastline, from Morphou to Kyrenia to Famagusta is a cash cow producing industry(tourism) for an island like Cyprus. For instance, Famagusta prior to 74 had more 5 star Hotels, then all of Cyprus has today...Another thing lost which may be more significant then all economic sectors lost during the invasion, is peace of mind, which I think most non-native to Cyprus dont feel or understand...
