Why do u hate the Turkish Cypriots so very much?

They get shafted if they fly into Ercan, “illegal point of entry” bollocks, and when they offer flight through Laranca u go running to tell tales!!

I bet I know what sort of child u were, tell tale tit. Same as u r today:lol: :lol: :lol:


I don't hate anyone Paaul12, I dislike people who cheat and steal. Both sides have issues with each other but they should be resolved by fair and legal means not by military might or trying to cheat the system. TRNC is an illegal state created by force, don't expect me to turn a blind eye when it tries to gain an advantage by deception. I don't think I was ever a tell tale tit, I just happen to believe I know right from wrong.


Jerry firstly welcome to the forum.

How did we cheat and steal? how can you steal what is already yours? did you have no part in the chain of event s after we had the opportunity to create a united Cyprus for everyone? was it not the GCs who want to change our constitution? (Aktritas) were we not living in Ghettos? were you not the de facto government of the "RoC" just like you are today? did Turkey just one day up sticks and say ho its a nice day lets go take 37% of Cyprus? Have we resolved our outstanding issues?

So please refrain from your sweeping and generalising comments as I will not be so diplomatic next time


VP Thank you for your belated welcome, I've been posting on this site for months and I am quite familiar with your bigoted views. I do not intend to go through the Cyprus problem with you in detail, as I said earlier both sides have issues with each other. Where does the ulimate blame lie, how far do you want to go back? 1983, 1974, 1963, 1960, 1955, 1931, 1878, 1830 - no let's go back to the date where the root cause of the Cyprus problem began - 1570.


1960 would be best imo as it was the only time we both had the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and build a united Cyprus and a Cypriot people.

Until now, visiting the paradise island of North Cyprus has always meant over 6 hours of tedious flying time, often with annoying stop-overs on the way. Now for the first time in over 3 decades, North Cyprus has suddenly become much closer.... much much closer!
In fact, in just over 4 hours you can be transported, from the drudgery and stress of UK living to the serenity, tranquillity and charm of this unspoilt corner of the Mediterranean.

Paradise is closer - fly direct from: Gatwick, Luton, Manchester, Stansted, Heathrow, Bristol, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Belfast.




If it says "fly direct" and does not mention you will be landing at Larnaca airport it is blatantly misleading...Larnaca airport is not in the TRNC.You are not flying directly to Ercan...End of story!

observer wrote:Thanks Jerry. Interesting, though I think that it will probably pass since it would be a very naive person who believed that a holiday to Cyprus didn't involve waiting for baggage, transfering to a hotel, whether North or South, checking in etc. And although most tourists come to the Kyrenia area, Famagusta is closer than many resorts in the South that use Larnaca Airport so 'can' would probably cover the advert placers.


I appreciate your interest Observer. The ASA have acknowledged the complaint and will be in touch, I'll post the oucome on this site even if I'm wrong.

Well I'd prefer to go back to 1569 VP, as far as I'm concerned the slate was even cleaner then.

A typical response from someone who can't face the truth and has lost an argument!

If the Turks hadn't come would we now have Italian-Cypriots?
