Theresa, where you live is occupied by 40.000 turkish troops, they dont go out in there uniforms now because it will scare those stupid british tourists who go to the occupied north for a holiday.
Also how would you feel if you were kicked out of your nice home by the turkish army ? just like my familly were .

[theresa]

Of course I wouldn't like to lose my home! I was merely stating that you don't actually see many soldiers around. On the other hand there ARE lots of military bases, many Cyprıot frıends say they would like to see less of these establishments especially in the centre of places like Kyrenia, which is a lovely town, although the roads do need fixing, the palm trees need watering and the rubbish needs clearing!!! A bit like my home town in the UK (apart from the palm trees of course)!!!! I like living in Cyprus the people are very nice - and so are the Cypriots that I met in the South.

Well many Greeks have lost their homes. It is shocking to see your ambivalence to our plight. I think the states of the roads are the least of your problems. Wake up women, Kyrenia harbour is not Torquay esplanade. You are living in an illegal state. Do you find that difficult to grasp?
What do you mean in the South? You have the effrontery to cross into the R.O.C. How many of those nice Greeks (sic), know your shameful secret?

[theresa]

Believe me I am not happy about the situation and I hope and pray there is a fair and amicable solution soon. I choose to live here because of personal reasons - I choose to visit the South and spend money because I am an EU passport holder and can travel freely. When I go out I dont ask if the place I am eating at is greek or turkish (originally) on EITHER side. And YES I have told Greek Cypriots where I live - why shouldn't I? If there is so much hatred around which you would lead me to believe. I will tell you this, the "patriotism" ends when theres a few Cyp pounds to made cos no-ones ever refused to take the money because I come from the North!!!!!

Quite frankly you come across as very insincere. I really believe that your hopes for a solution are quite skin deep. A solution for you and your fellow travellers is one that has the least disruption to the life that has been built on the misery of others.
An EU passport does not absolve you and your ilk from your crime. Well Theresa, that’s were most decent people and you part ways; love for ones country isn’t about a few “Cyp pounds”.

hi theressa and welcome to the forum.

dont let a couple of people dissapoint you.
you are right about "patriotism". its a diseace, but we ll get over it. trust me on that one.

[Piratis]

Michael, theresa said she lives in the occupied areas for personal reasons. Maybe she is married with a Turkish Cypriot.

What you say would be valid for the scums that go and "buy" the land that is stolen from Greek Cypriots. I don't believe theresa belongs to this category.

Theresa, there is no "North" and "South", Cyprus is one. what we have is Republic of Cyprus, part of which is illegaly occupied by Turkey. Turkish Cypriots have never been the majority in any part of cyprus. In fact Kerinia had a smaller Turkish minority than Limassol. The split between "north" and "south" is completely artificial, simply because Turkey wanted the north part of Cyprus for her own strategic reason. If they wanted the south or east or west part, they would have taken that.

There can be no excuse in ethnically cleansing 200.000 people from their homes, bringing Settlers in their place, changing the names of our cities and villages and trying to Turkify a part of the island which in fact had a Greek Cypriot majority for over 3000 years.

The whole Cyprus belongs to all Cypriots. In the way that GCs abandoned their demand for enosis (union with Greece) the same way the Turks should abandon their demand for partition and stop claiming a part of the island as being Turkish and their own. Kerinia is no less mine than it is for Mustafa or any other Cypriot citizen. The same goes for Limassol, Famagusta etc.

It's not up to you to decide whether she is insincere or not. It's nice the way you attempt to make people feel belittled, as common criminals for simply choosing a place to live ? Get over yourself.

I think insincerity, is something your friend Theresa, and I suspect you, have absolutely buckets off. Not a scintilla of guilt living in a Turkish ghetto where the rule of law probably runs as far to the nearest gangster or military official. Any discernable differences from your Bantustan and the gangster enclaves of LA? Not much I suspect.
So Mr Pasha (apt nom de plume I would say) you don’t have a right to live anywhere you want. Goose stepping NAZI had no right to live in Poland, or the Communist Chinese have no right to live in Tibet, they like you and your chums are breaking the law.
Your criminals.

[Piratis]

Michael, criminals are those that committed crimes or support crimes and illegalities. I don't remember all 40 posts from Pasha, but I don't think teressa ever said that she approves any of the illegalities.

Many TCs are victims of the occupation like we are, and they support legality. unfortunately the Turkish military and their puppets in Cyprus (talad etc) are the ones who control everything and not them.

Therefore you have no right to judge somebody simply because he is Turkish since that would be racist beyond doubt. You can judge people based on what they say. If somebody supports the criminal occupation and the illegal "trnc" then I agree with you that this somebody is a crime supporter.
