Do you contact the media ?
Dont sit back and do nothing while people make money from the land that has been stolen from you, dont let turkey get away with the occupation of cyprus, make some noise , confront people and companys that are pro-occupation, confront sad groups like the PRO-OCCUPATION HOMEBUYERS PRESSURE GROUP.
DO SOMETHING PLEASE :cry:


Thanks for answering my question Lysi. So, in other words, the property show that you have boycotted for the last 2-3 weeks, was nothing you thought it was about, since your silence is deafening on the subject. Be careful before you yell "fire" again in a crowded theatre. !!!

The programme will encourage greedy british people to buy stolen property in the OCCUPIED areas just to make a fast buck at the expense of thousands of greek cypriot refugees.
I will not sit back and do nothing , i will confront & complain about these greedy people who have no morals. I hope people will complain to estate agents who are selling our land.

Try applying the same pressure to your administration to get their finger out compromise and find a solution as the route they have taken EU leverage will only bear fruit if ever in 15 years times by then you can decide for yourself the state of the north both economically or land wise.

Oh please mrfrom not everyone that left the north cause of the invasion was a murderer. Actually I doubt a big portion of them were. Lets not get stupid.


Hi Andry,

Perhaps you can tell your friends Alexander, Piratis, Lysi, Malaka etc etc that not all TC's are thieves, drug dealers, murderers and pimps. When I see you respond to their next post accusing all TC's of being all of the above then I will stop calling all GC's murderers. That's fair, isn't it?

I have just read some of these posts. Not mentioning any names but there are one or two people that need to get off their high chair and realise that its not just British people who are greedy. Look at the rip off prices Cypriots charge tourists in tourist areas. The prices they charge in places like Paphos/Napa etc are more expensive than England. Every nation is guilty of greed so please dont catogrise only the British in this category.

I watched the programme and the presenter frequently warned potential buyers of the dangers involved about buying in the North. He advised buyers to know their market, do research and seek professional legal advice.

So all those Cypriots in England who own chains of Chip Shops, are they being greedy or are they just being business like? Just a question.

I have bought in South Cyprus by the way.

I think I have told many times those things to people. You just choose not to notice it. I do not want to argue with you because I do believe not all TCs are bad. Actually I dont believe any TCs are bad. I think Turkey is responsible for most of what happened during the invasion and maybe TCs are paying the price. But that doesnt make the people who were thrown out of their homes, killed and raped murderers. It makes them victims. On both sides. And we all need to be careful how to refer to them. There are refugees on the TC side too and a lot of TCs get on here talking crap about thhe GCs, you dont see me calling all TCs murderers and thieves because of it. What you do is not controlled by what Lysi or Malaka or me say. You cant control what they say but you can control yourself. You just dont want to.

Why would it be off? I do not hate you. I am just pointing something out. If I didnt have respect for you for previous posts you made I wouldnt even had bothered. If I can make it so I can travel to Boston at that time, you better be sure to have some money for Drinks because you know... I am a Cypriot and we drink :wink:
