Get real, I am sorry to break your ego here, however from 1571, to 1974 is a long time, and therefore I support the turkish speaking community that was established in Cyprus since 1571 to share and call Cyprus their home as any other Cypriot.
I do not support the "trnc" as it exists today and I do not support the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus that took place in 1974.
Whist Turkish speaking families support an illegal regime and theerefore the occupation of Cyprus by Turkey, I will have to say that they too are human being like you and I and need Protection and secondly Electricity. Perhaps the RoC needs to act faster in ensuring that any Turkish Cypriot who chooses to return to their properties in the south will be protected against racist, fascist activity that is becoming a growing factor in our community. "Hrisi Avyi" and the hatred is enough to keep me away let alone Turkish speaking Cypriots. The events that took place at Tochni village in 74 were dispicable acts against humanity and why should Turkish speaers be faced with that view again. I am sorry but we need to take some responsibility for the Cypriot situation.
Seriously man what do you think it would have happened to turkish speaking families living in the south if they continued to live there after 74, the greek speaking fascists wanting enosis with greece would have exterminated them one by one. So whilst these people are living in the north occupying refugee property they had no choice. To this end it is the responsibility of the RoC governement to provide them with electricity. Unfortunately along with these innocent families who stuggle each and everyday to survive the illegal Turkish regime and military are getting power on the Cypriot expense.
Yes Turkey has total disrespect for international law but then again the international community is to also blame. Instead of slapping economic sanction on the "trnc" they should bloody well slap Turkey with economic sanctions if they are trully supportive of peace in the mediteranian until turkey returns the occupied land to the Cypriot people all of them regardless of the language they speak or religion they happen to believe in and takes their army out of Cyprus. In two years Turkey will be so broke they will not be able to afford an army on Cypriot land.
As far as your other comments as a greek speaking cypriot I find them racist and shameful. Turkish speaking Cypriots have as much right to the Island of Cyprus as greek speaking Cypriots. Perhaps as Free_Cyprus says the day we begin to identify as cypriots that would be the day our Island will be united and freed from parasites.
