It is not the issue, a power cut is a power cut it was not the end of the world, and it gave a bit of a romantic atmosphere to TC families, LOL, but the issue of property prices in the event of a solution, is there. All I am trying to say is that people that DO have properties in the North, like Papadopoullos, do not wish such a unification in contradiction with most people in the forum that DO wish for a solution!>

While Kyrenia and many other locations in the north are much prettier, it is the lack of infrastructure that will deter an abundance of buyers. An example; on Christmas Day 2006, when many 'resident foreign' families were celebrating Christmas with traditional Christmas Lunches, the Electricity Authorites decided it was a great day to turn off the power to several locations, for routine maintenance. Now I appreciate that it is not a Christian country, but the Authorities must have realised the disruption they would cause to many people who had invested large suns of money in the north, by buying property there.

TWO LARGE generators wer installed so no electricity problem anymore...

A TC was telling me that when the generator arrived at Famagusta they had to send it back because they didn't have a crane large/powerful enough to lift it! Is that true??

Actually it arrived at Famagusta because there was no way of getting it off the ship at Kyrnia port so it went to Famagusta and got transported via a massive special truck that came along with the generators. I'm not sure about the crane issue but it would n't surprise me for the simple fact that as a commercial port the cranes are normaly used to move small (compared to the generator) 40 foot containers.
