Whilst there's no money to pay municipal workers or for better school education in "trnc", Erdogan's Turkey can always dip in to its bottomless stash of money for new Islamic Centres, to make the place more Turkish.

This week, this one is causing controversy.

A new multi-million TL No Expense Spared Divinity Centre and Mosque opened to the usual great and over-pompous ceremony by various speculators in "trnc" ...

Yeniduzen has a very valid and interesting angle on this new Divinity Centre and Mosque.

Whilst it found TL30 Million to build this unwanted centre, unwanted by most outside the usual lackies of "trnc", the religious foundation that runs mosques in the Occupied Areas has unpaid bills for electricity owing to the electricity generator of nearly TL7 Million.

For Turkish-speakers...

"... YENİDÜZEN (Özel)
Bir yandan milyonlarca liraya külliye ve ilahiyat merkezi inşaatları sürerken diğer yandan camilerin elektrikleri borçlarından dolayı kesiliyor. 2 Eylül 2013 tarihi itibarı ile Vakıflar İdaresi’ne ait bütçe tarafından karşılanması gereken camilere sağlanan elektrik akımı borcu 6 milyon 877 bin TL (6.877.815,01) iken dün tamamı 30 milyon TL’ye mal olacak cami ve ilahiyat merkezine temeller atıldı. ..."

Some pretty hard-hitting criticism and not just confined to this mosque and religious centre from the Teachers Unions, reported at lemony.eu ...

"...The Turkish Cypriot Teachers Union (KTÖS) and the Turkish Cypriot Secondary School Teachers Union (KTOEÖS) published a joint statement on Thursday and criticised the opening of the Theology School.

The unions reminded that the parties in “government” had objected to the Theology School when they were in opposition.

According to the Gazeddakibris.com web site, following is the text of the joint statement:

The state of the Republic of Turkey, which made a military intervention to “establish the constitutional order” within the framework of the “Guarantee and Alliance Agreements,” which formed the Republic of Cyprus, not only did not fulfil this duty, but presented the northern part of Cyprus to the pillage and exploitation of the wild capitalism.

The “governance games” played in the separatist political entity established in the northern part of Cyprus, have not been successful in concealing the fact that the real power lies with Ankara.

Cyprus’ dependence on Turkey, not only in the military and economic sense but also in social, cultural and educational sense, has become even clearer with the policies of the Turkish governments and especially the policies of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government.

Within the framework of its policy to either force the “Turkish Cypriot youth out of the island” or to “assimilate” them, the AKP government is doing everything to create a bigoted and superstitious society that obeys and feels grateful, and to do away with the modern, democratic, secular structure of the Turkish Cypriot society.

The Turkish Cypriots, who were first made a minority through the assimilation policies, are now struggling to “protect their identity” in an environment swarmed by zealots.

The northern part of our country is being turned into Saudi Arabia with Quran courses, religious schools and mosques, which do not fit in the structure of our society. ..."

Answer; don't cry to us, cry to your beloved motherland Turkey.

Like the ungrateful parasites that you are, you are now getting everything that you deserve.

Hade assirktir.

Ah, but did you warn your fellow TCs?

I'll think you'll find that the warnings mentioned above were mentioned by your friend lordo. Doesn't look like your feelings regarding more mosques in the occupied territories is popular

Of course the Turks never thought of honouring religious beliefs when they ransacked, destroyed and converted the vast amount of churches, monasteries and chapels in Northern Cyprus after 74.
As per usual equality is always one sided when it comes to anything TC or Islamic.
You never got round to the last time I asked you this(in the 'talks heat up' thread for those who wish to look) maybe you might want to comment now?

Of course you should practice your religious beliefs but the islamification of the occupied territory is ramming religion down the throats of the the TCs who traditionally don't care too much for religion - rather like the Brits in UK who are nominally Christian but never go to church.
