The choice not to visit the north is yours and if you feel so passionately about your country then showing a piece of paper to see the places you only see in pictures is your loss not anyone elses.
The feeling is mutual we feel the same repulsion towards the GC state south of the border, we do not claim to represent Gcs but you claim to represent Tcs theres a big difference there. Thats why its the "RoC" that should take steps to prove the represent all Cypriots raterh than continuing isolate and persecute only TCs. You have every right live to come north and stay but under our adminsitration like we would have to abide by your rules if we wanted to move south.
Bir can do what he wants he will die is a foreign land as that is the path he has chosen foe himself.
I am so sorry about your views VP…I sometimes think that you are so clever but some other times I think you are trying to make us believe that you don’t really know what is going around you!
First of all I want to clarify that I live in Cyprus and not in any South country! My country’s name is Cyprus and if you don’t know its an island close to Turkey, Greece, Syria, Israel, Egypt etc….if you take the map you will find it easy with this description…ok let get serious now!
The choice to visit the north is not mine…but they force me to live like that…they force me to stay in the south for so many years…and before few years they open the borders and they told me that you can travel but because you are travelling to this site you will have to issue a visa like I am travelling to another country…I didn’t even issue a visa when I travelled to Greece or UK…it is shame that I have to do that in my own country! Anyway I change few of my views as I said…and I have to and I will visit more often the north part of my island from now on! At least I don’t have to show my passport! Thank God of that!
My life you said is in the south…yes it is but it is like that because others decided that for me…it was not my choice you know! I am not saying that it was yours but don’t blame me for that and don’t keep me away by telling me its your life in the south so stay there! But let me tell you another thing! The situation here is not about pictures! Its not about see the north part of my island with my own eyes instead of pictures…to be honest I prefer to come and see friends than places…don’t get me wrong I do want to see and learn about my island but I would love to meet people like me or like I met their…not nationalist and with open heart for everyone…even that is Turk, Cypriot, Greek, British … we are all humans, made of flesh and blood!
You told about isolation from GC?? What we have to say?? Well I am not going to go through that one more time…I think we both know the real stuff…but tell me…just answer me few question and then we will talk about living in the north!
Does anyone talk my language in the “government’s offices”?
Does anyone translate any documents in Greek?
Can I travel around without getting lost? The signs in the road are by any chance written even in English?
Can I work in the north as a Cypriot?
Can I live their without the police coming in my house every now and then?
Can I travel without any visa?
