Miltiades

VP , It does tell me something very fundamental . It is bigots and Turkish influenced Cypriots such as your self , just like the Greek influenced Cypriots who raped our country , that are the stumbling block to a solution.

Or is it those that live in La La land thinking that they have a Cypriot race when what they really see is a divided people who had the chance to build a united people 46 years ago lost that chance and is still thinking that after 32 years the people in the north should think they are Cypriots, well sorry but this ideology will only flourish and prosper if we reunite and people embrace it. For now it is a dream which no one is denying you but please don't ram it down our throats, if there are any takers they will accept what you say without question. This does not make the rest of us bigots, rapists or people who want to stand in the way of a solution, all we want is to live in peace just like everyone else without putting our future solely in the hands of GCs.

There are Cypriots who proudly denounce their identity in favour of a foreign alternatives , yes Sir , foreign alternatives. Look around you in Kyrenia , Famagusta , Nicosia and tell me the people who were imported into our land in order to significantly alter the demographics of our land are your people. The answer that I would expect to hear from you would of course be the standard repetitive monotonous type but why dont you surprise me.

Its a matter of choices and the TCs made that choice back in 1974, they chose Turkey not GCs. This is something you have to come to terms with and ask yourselves why? can we provide something better for a united Cyprus that will encourage TCs to change their mindset and move towards wanting to live with us in a united Cyprus, feel free to do this at anytime.

You see VP I'm as you so often remind me a Cypriot , pure and simple , born in Cyprus one day will be buried there, but in the meantime I dont need a foreign nation to look up to , Greece as well as Turkey have nothing to offer us apart from blood and tears and more suffering , why dont you give Cyprus a chance. and it is Cyprus not "Cyprus "

Miltiades arent you being a little hypocritical you forget you are a GC living in the UK a foreign land who are also party to the Cyprus issue benefiting from the wealth of that country not living in a divided island. I bet you have a British passport and that makes you a citizen of a country you do not look up to or respect.

"""a citizen of a country you do not look up to or respect."""
VP , Im on record as pro British , pro American , pro Western world . I fly the flag of the nation that I love and adore , I hate what the politicians and the Liberalists have done to this nation , I detest the denigration of our native cultures in order to appease foreign third world immigrants who still live in the 10th century and who have no qualms in taking all the benefits that they can get their hands on , and ready to celebrate whenever a British soldier is killed in Afghanistan or Irag. Yes Sir this is what I despise in the UK .

Now going back to your eclectic selection of Turkey rather than Cyprus then Sir there are many Cypriots Turkish and Greek who will disagree with your choice and may even suggest that since Cyprus isn't your country why not do the honourable act and leave Cyprus to the Cypriots. The same goes to those who chose Greece as their motherland. All non Cypriots can piss off and leave Cyprus to the native Cypriots. Turkey can offer Cyprus sweet fa and so can Greece.

Miltiades the choice has been made and will continue that way until a time comes when we all want and believe in reunification, until that time you can promote Cypriotism as much as you want, the results are unknown but if I took an educated guess you will not be successful. If their is not one united Cyprus where the leaders produce results for the benefit of everyone you will not progress. Its how that united Cyprus is created and how will it effect our daily lives is where you have to do the most work as people will not buy into the Cypriot ideology unless they can see its better than what we have today the TRNC which with all its faults is what we love and cherish and feel we belong to.

More about this story:

A RUSSIAN woman was yesterday charged in a Nicosia Court with illegally purchasing a Greek Cypriot property in the Turkish occupied north of the island.
Elena Merkushova, 30, was arrested at the Ledra Palace checkpoint in Nicosia last Sunday, along with her husband, after customs officers discovered a title deed and contract of purchase for a property in the occupied area of Lapithos.

According to police, Merkushova paid around £18,000 for the house, which is built on land belonging to four Greek Cypriot refugees who fled to the south in 1974.
Yesterday, she pleaded not guilty to the two charges against her.
If found guilty of the charge, under a law passed on October 20 this year, Merkushova could face up to seven years’ imprisonment.

Police have also issued an arrest warrant for 42-year-old Bulet Fikri – who they say illegally sold the property to Merkushova – but his arrest is considered unlikely as he is believed to be in the north.

According to the indictment, Merkushova is a company owner visiting the island as a tourist and staying at a hotel in Limassol.

She arrived on the island on November 3 and had been issued a visitor’s permit as a tourist until May 4, 2007.

The first charge stated that on November 18, 2006 in Kyrenia, the defendants conspired between themselves to commit a crime, in other words, to commit the offences allegedly committed in charges two and three.

The second charge stated at the same date and place, Merkushova purchased from Fikri a property that belonged to somebody else, which was being built in the Ayios Theodoros area of Lapithos. The property is being built over two plots, one which belongs to Panayiota Grigoris Polydorou and one which is shared between Theodora Antonis Polycarpou, Marios Antonis Polycarpou and Andreas Antonis Polycarpou.
The charge said the accused had signed a document of purchase, dated November 18, 2006, but should have known that there was no consent from the rightful owners.
The third charge outlines the same offence but implicates Fikri as the illegal seller.
Yesterday, State Prosecutor Marios Koutsoftas requested that the defendant be held in custody for the duration of her trial, a request denied by Judge Lemonia Kaoutzani.
Koutsoftas claimed that the seriousness of the offence and the defendant’s ties to the north made it highly likely that she could escape to the occupied north.
Countering the prosecution’s claim, defence lawyer Nicholas Poumbourides said his client had an 18-month-old baby back in Russia and that keeping her in prison would have a negative psychological effect on the mother.

He added Merkushova had a clean record, was in Cyprus legally and had shown absolutely no indication that she would not appear for her next trial date.
Agreeing with the defence, Judge Kaoutzani ordered the defendant to pay a £50,000 guarantee, with two guarantors, that she would turn up for her trial date, to hand over her passport and any other travel documents she may have to the police and for her name to placed on the stop list of all airports, ports and checkpoints throughout the island.
She also ordered Merkushova to report to a Limassol police station every afternoon.
The trial begins on December 15.
