What are they doing with the quarried stone?

- Shipping Cyprus piece by piece to Turkey ...

lol funny, only because it's true.

Yes, did come across a picky of large blocks of CY Limestone on the back of a truck on its way to the port at Occupied Varosi for export to Turkey but can't find it.

In the meantime... all the incompetent "authorities", the bad and the ugly of "trnc"do is to turn up to inspect this appalling damage and walk away continuing to stuff their pockets...

(From today's haberkibris...)

A bit on this for turkish-speakers... "... Çevre ve Doğal Kaynaklar Bakanı Hamit Bakırcı, Jeoloji ve Maden Dairesi Müdürü Mustafa Alkaravlı ile birlikte Değirmenlik’te bulunan Karayolları Dairesinin Taş Ocağı tesisini ziyaret ederek yetkililerden bilgi aldı.
Bakanlıktan verilen bilgiye göre, Bakırcı, incelemeler sonrası yaptığı açıklamada taşocağı ile birlikte yaşanan çevre kirliliği ve tahribatı yerinde görmek amacıyla bölgeye geldiklerini belirterek, oluşan kirliliğin başta Değirmenlik olmak üzere tüm KKTC’de hissedildiğini söyledi.
Bu durumun zamanında yapılan sistemsiz ve düzensiz çalışmalardan kaynaklandığını ifade eden Bakırcı,oluşan görüntü ve rahatsızlığı en aza indirebilmek adına neler yapılabileceklerini konuşacaklarını belirtti..."

this brings to mind Solomon's tale of cutting the baby in half....

Two young women who lived in the same house and who both had an infant son came to Solomon for a judgment. One of the women claimed that the other, after accidentally smothering her own son while sleeping, had exchanged the two children to make it appear that the living child was hers. The other woman denied this and so both women claimed to be the mother of the living son and said that the dead boy belonged to the other.
After some deliberation, King Solomon called for a sword to be brought before him. He declared that there was only one fair solution: the live son must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the child. Upon hearing this terrible verdict, the boy's true mother cried out, "Oh Lord, give the baby to her, just don't kill him!" The liar, in her bitter jealousy, exclaimed, "It shall be neither mine nor yours—divide it!"
The king declared the first mother as the true mother and gave her the baby. King Solomon's judgment became known throughout all of Israel and was considered an example of profound wisdom.

Destruction of the Pentathactylos...

Below a summary from CY PIO of an article in Afrika in which we learn that some itinerant from Anatolia wandering around the Occupied Areas calling himself some kind of "environment minister" is an Illegal Settler...!!!

An Unwanted Illegal Settler from Trabson, Turkey, who thinks the Pentathactilos belongs to Turkey and that the Illegal Regime of "trnc" can exploit the range with Illegal Quarrying in the very destructive ways it does....

" ... . Afrika reacts to Turkish settler “minister’s” allegation that Pentadaktylos mountains range does not belong to the Greeks Cypriots
Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (19.03.14) reacts to statements made by Hamit Bakirci, self-styled minister of environment and natural resources of the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus, who had alleged that Pentadaktylos mountain range does not belong to the Greek Cypriots and therefore they should not interfere with what happens there.

Under the title “Both Pentadaktylos and Troodos belong to us”, Afrika recalls that Bakirci is a Turkish settler from Trabzon and writes, inter alia, the following:
“…How it became his [mountain]? The Turkish army came. It shed blood. It conquered. And it became his!

Mr Hamit set foot on this island in 1997, but it seems that he does not understand yet that this country is the common country of all of us Cypriots. There is no such thing as this mountain is yours and this is mine. Or this plain is yours and this is mine. There are also no seas and streams that belong only to the one [of us]. They belong to all of us. All Cypriots…

Since Mr Hamit considers Pentadaktylos to be Turkish, he certainly considers Troodos Mountains to be Greek. That is, in his view Pentadaktylos is ours and Troodos belongs to the Greeks. Is it so? Go out and ask any Turkish Cypriot you like Mr minister. Whose is Troodos? Does it belong to the Greeks or the Turks? And let us see whether you will find even a single person who will not say that ‘they neither belong to the Greeks nor the Turks, they belong to all Cypriots’.

Why are you angry because the Greek Cypriot side went to Europe and complained about the fact that we destroy Pentadaktylos by excavating? …Do you think that if the Greek Cypriots started now to destroy Troodos like we are doing to Pentadaktylos, would we not react to this? … Do you think that this side is one country and the other side is another country? Even if you dream of this place as two separate states, are you not aware of the fact that this country is one single country?

You come from Trabzon and this is surely the reason why you do not understand us. Look, there is a new solution process now here. We are trying to establish a united, common country. We are not sharing the mountains and the plains at the table. We are discussing how all these is common property to all of us. We are not sharing the bridges. We are trying to clean the dirty waters which flow under the bridges”. ... "

In the wake of the Illegal Settler from Trabzon (the chap who's trying to pass as a "minister" of somewhere called "trnc") saying they'll do what they want with the Pentathactylos, here's a cartoon...
