İsnt this a repeat of 1996 when fighting erupted and someone was killed, please stay away this sort of action only breeds a hard response from those under attack...we do not want anyone to get hurt.

I'd kind of like to hope its not a repeat or indeed in the same vein.

I would only hope that this is just going to be a peaceful protest, as many others have done in as many years, rather than anything getting too out of control.
Farmers are a tad unpredictable though, when passions are high.

I can almost understand their desire to be able to get on their land and put it to proper use. It would drive me mad not being able to get on my own land and grow something on it.

Heres hoping that the world bulletin link is a misinterpretation of information.

Statement by the regime on the violation of the buffer zone by the Turkish army and Turkish Cypriot farmers in occupied Zodia area
Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen newspaper (29.11.13) reports that Ramazan Biryilmaz, director of the so-called housing and rehabilitation department of the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus, has said that around three thousand donums of land [Translator's note: a donum is a land measure of about 1000 square meters] had been leased to 55-66 Turkish Cypriot farmers in the occupied areas of Zodia, Kutrafas and Petra villages and added that these farmers cultivate fields "in the area north of the UN".
He said that Greek Cypriots cultivate fields in the area "south of the UN" and argued that the Turkish Cypriot farmers grow their plants "in their own area with permission given by the army" and there "is absolutely no violation".

Noting that tension exists in the buffer zone in Zodia, the paper writes that on Saturday, 7 December the Cyprus Farmers Union (EKA) will organize a protest at the barricade of occupied Zodia under the slogan "Together United". According to the paper, the general secretary of EKA, Panikkos Hambas has issued a statement noting that after the agreement of demining the buffer zone in the area, the Greek Cypriot farmers could not cultivate their fields 200 meters in front of the positions of the Turkish army and that Turkish Cypriot farmers started using these fields. He said that during their protest, they will return to their land with tractors. EKA points out that the property rights in the buffer zone belong to the Greek Cypriots and that the Turkish army violated the agreement of demining the buffer zone by giving the fields to Turkish Cypriot farmers, notes Yeni Duzen.

You mean when an unarmed man was beaten to death by Grey wolves and tc police on live tv because he tried to help his comrade escape from those murderous savages?

Or when your "minister" of agriculture was filmed shooting another unarmed man for trying to take down the invaders flag?

Its time i reposted those videos i think.
