So again we have shown that we cannot united to agree a joint venture, must make us all feel proud. As someone posted maybe this is not a good time as the GCs are in such a bad economical turmoil they may end up try to blame the TCs as they are very well known for never taking the blame and trying to push if onto others.

Lordo do you remember all the GC boasting of how life in the south was so fantastic and that it was heaven living under the EU Karma has bitten them good and hard where it hurts. Do you think they will learn from this economical crisis and look towards solving the Cyprus issue with a flexible approach?

Lord says that we have two official languages and gives the example: "magusa=famagusta varosi=maras "

Ironic that Greek does not feature in any of the words in that phrase!!! Famagusta is the Venetian name which we, GCs saw no need to change. Varosi is the suburb (Varoush in Turkish) of Famagusta to which were confined the GCs by the Turkish overlords who considered the city within the walls prime real estate and sent the locals to the malaria infested marshes and sand dunes to the south. Funny that the TCs felt a need to change all names, even the non Greek ones, in a manic attempt to prove some kind of "turkishness". If they only knew how ridiculous this attempt looks!

There is no "opening" or "re-opening". There is return to its rightful owners and creators, the heirs of those original locals who were banished to the swamp and who created a city out of nothing. The last thing we need is a recreation of the vulgarity which is Kyrenia or Yermasoya. We have had enough "divellopperss" and their misdeed to last us a long time.

Return of the original Famagustians will lead to enough money for everyone with no need to resort to crappy theme park overexploitation. In fact it would probably be best if the existing hotel hulks are demolished and never rebuilt, there are enough hotel beds elsewhere on the island. Visitors to Famagusta can be day trippers only. They can spend the night in other parts of the island.

I am lucky to have grown up in Famagusta when the wealth of the area came from citrus groves, and not real estate or tourism. The experience of May, when the orange and lemon trees were in bloom, is arguably more valuable, to locals and tourists alike, than a high tower hotel that blocks the view of the sea and access to the water. But these finer points are lost on people who think like colonists.

You mean like the Annan Plan and lose everything.

Had AP passed in 2004, today's financial crises would have happened soon after 2004.

At least now, the GCs and TCs still have a country called Cyprus. The north still has the illegal "trnc" under the control of Turkey. AP would have given Turkey the control of the whole island.

By the way, has all the TCs living in the RoC have packed up and moved to the prosperous rich Oasis called the "trnc" yet? :lol:

Seeing that a joint venture is impossible i think Maras should be opened up by the TRNC and its old inhabitants invited back to start rebuilding this once magnificent city,
