The only thing to add at the mo is that the congregation, after having the service disrupted by the thugs of "trnc", took the Icons and finished the last 10 minutes of the Holy Liturgy at a church with the Maronites Enclaved in Occupied Kormakitis.

Those of you who are respectful of the beliefs of others will prob know that it is terribly important that a Mass once started must finish to its climax, so that He may walk amongst the faithful.

Those churches have nothing to do with voting in the EU elections.
There's people in the UK who couldn't vote because of a mix up, as likely in other countries. Do you hear of them throwing toys out of prams in tantrum? no.

Those churches have been around for hundreds and thousands of years. Long before the Trnc took resident like a cuckoo in the nest.


Shame on you people. The modern world moves on, there is no room for disgusting behaviour.

You really need to question your own racist behaviour before critisizing others, Cyprus has always been tit for tat mentality, you hurt us and we will hurt you back ten fold, you cannot expect to punch someone in the face and for them not to hit you back, you people have a problem with understanding that this is a very high probability...thats what happened here.

Hang on? My racist behaviour?

Please do explain this

Remember VP, I am one that sits on the outside and looks in. To me, this is an absolutely shameful act. If it looks that way to me, what do you think it looks like to the rest of the world who aren't connected to Cyprus in the way I am,

It will look even worse I can tell you. Petty. Not too dissimilar to the couple flying the Cyprus flag over their shop.

So flying seeing you are looking from the outside in, I take it you live in a country within the EU? Can you please give us your opinion on the TCs that were not allowed to vote by GC officials at the EU elections? then we will get a clearer picture of your real intentions.

I'm in the UK, and its pretty simple here. You must be on the electoral roll to cast a vote. In other words, you must register your name and address by filling out forms to your local council.
Of course you know this, as I read you have lived in the UK. If you don't have the correct documentation, you don't get to vote, there are no two ways about it.

I'll be honest, the TC vote scenario is not precisely clear to me. However, what I have seen is, that the RoC have opened special places for those in the north 'registered' to vote to do so. They have provided interpreters and documentation in Turkish as they do in the UK for those who can't read English(to which the list of languages gets bigger) what more do you want? You can't cast a vote illegally...... So what is the problem?


Anyway, I think this topic is best kept in the Election thread. This thread is about the maronite church being threatened by really vulgar people. Nothing to do with not being able to cast your vote because you can't or won't provide correct documentation

You are not really stating an opinon but just giving us details of how things work in the UK, do you think you can get an id card without providing an address? all the people that went along to vote obviously have addresses registered, this whole fiasco is just another GC tactic to stop TCs from voting, if you cannot see this then you are more blind than I thought. And this all done under the umbrella of the EU. Of course this GC fiasco serves a purpose of proving to those TCs that think they will be treated as equals to GCs in a united Cyprus that in reality this is not the case and landed a big old slap on the face of those who are or were supporters of union with the south.

As for the people who wanted to pray in a church in the TRNC, did they have permission to utilize the church in such a manner? we have our own laws in the TRNC, although people do not recognize us it doesnt mean you can do as you wish and not adhere to the laws or the authority that run the TRNC. They can use the churches in the south the side these people sided with namely the GCs.

Vp, it's their property! Their land! Their religious place, that someone has a problem with.

The problem is, it just doesn't doesn't stop there. When the day comes to view a particular village in the north lay something respectful of the dead on the ground, will I be subject to police discrimination?
Will it get rubbished and vandalised because it holds religious and respectful meaning?
Of course, I'm going off on a tangent, but I should feel safe in the north not feel it's full of bandits and pirates masquerading as the law.


There is no room in this world anymore for this behaviour. Heartless. Disrespectful of others doing no harm

Don't you dare start waffling about others hard done by. To try justifying it.

"permission to utilise the church in this manner"..... Unbelievable!!!

Hello can you have a tea party in your local church without permission of the person in charge? no you cannot. The churches in the TRNC are not always open to the public and like anywhere in the world if it is to be utilized en mass then you have to get permission, they did not have permission so were duly dealt with. This clearly shows that we have laws and regulations which have to be adhered to without these you would have bandits and pirates.

[Maximus]

What we have here are some Turkish Islamists, bandits and pirates that have stolen property that does not belong to them. They have broken every law in the book to get here and up to this point and now they are oppressing and dictating what the original owners can do with it while citing laws and regulations conspired by the pseudo authorities to protect the decision.

Its unbelievable. You could not make it up.

The fascist barbarians.

...certainly, it is odd that only a few weeks ago, the regime, and the Mufti, made great efforts to demonstrate that what has been going on for over forty years, has changed; we can see from this incident, it is not the case.

as for vp, mdme. Fly, ignore him (or pity him, if you must feel something), he is indeed mistaken (lol, read: Godless), good sense does not extend to endless acts of revenge, Ignorance is not overcome with more acts of Ignorance. his deflection, and transference, exposes his weakness, a willingness to resist so that he does not change, himself: and it sounds desperate.

...what disturbs me is the lawlessness of this incident, like the incident with the Cyprus Flag at the store owner's, the "Police" seem to have no discipline, no real chain of command, no sense of priority, each officer seems to be a law unto themselves; the government seems to be powerless against individuals who, even in their employ, attempt to live their lives unchanged by its efforts.

vp, my friend, "this" must stop; or we are stuck being led by an nepotistic elite who will continue to divide us for their benefit, over merit. don't you think that what is practiced all over the world, should be practiced where you live, I ask?

...an apology is in order, by "your" regime, (if they are committed to statehood) on behalf of their electorate; and the officer should be disciplined.

[Viewpoint]

You say it must stop but share no qualms about GCs hindering us and diplaying racist actions....You slap me and you must expect to get slapped back, its a natural reaction. Otherwise how would you like it it every day I slapped you and then told you "this must stop"?
