nerol, "pistachios, dried figs, almonds, and a bottle of water". Very high tech I must say, turkey has come a long way.

@DAVE THE IMPALER

I don't understand why everybody is trying to use the EU as a weapon against Turkey! Many Turks are against the idea of Turkey entering the EU! I said this to you before and I will say it again Turkey's future lies with KEMALISM alone not with the EU or the current AKP government! Why don't you talk about Greece in the same language as you do about Turkey?? Is Greece in a much better socio-economic condition than Turkey at the moment? believe it or not those companies also exist in Turkey so alot of mainland-Turks also enjoy buying and wearing Marks and Spencer clothes for example while drinking their Turkish-Coffee :-) and H&M also has some of their clothing produced in Greece because funny enough my H&M swimwear was made in Greece and it cost about five quid (Sterling) so.......

Comments to British Leader on Cyprus Talks

Once again this time the British Prime Minister David Comeron with the Foreign Minister Mr. William Hague expressed the British support to the Cypriot talks and the UN’s efforts to achieve a Cyprus settlement. Stating, “We want to see a settlement agreed and successfully implemented to deliver a stable, prosperous and united Cyprus, operating as a valued partner within the EU”. Also this time the British Leader on his visit to Turkey showed anger at the “slow pace” of Turkey’s EU negotiations.

We welcome the statement especially if it means that Britain is going to mead her applications towards Cyprus and the Cypriots, BUT we question the December 31 2010 deadline date with the following comments;
a) Did Britain as Guarantor power of the Republic and one of the five permanent members of the UNSC requested the IMPLEMENTATION of any UNSC adopted resolutions on Cyprus? Resolutions that after implementation could result in helping to without delay solve the problem based on UN adopted resolutions? We do not recall any such demand or request.
b) Did Britain as a member of the Guarantor powers of the Republic of Cyprus try to prevent the Greek military coup or the Turkish invasion, the two terrorist acts committed against the Republic of Cyprus of July and August of 1974 other than helping the legal president of Cyprus to go to the UN and plea the Cyprus case?. We believe that Britain as a Guarantor power of the Republic of Cyprus did not PRACTICE JUSTICE to the Cypriots and Cyprus during the last 36 years.
c) It is true that Britain supported the UN talks that included all five Annan plans, none of them designed to serve the people and the human rights of the legal citizens of the Republic of Cyprus a full member of the UN and the Commonwealth.
d) Britain as a guarantor power of Cyprus and EU member never demanded from Turkey 1) to open its ports and airports to Cypriot-flagged ships and aircraft as per agreement to start the EU membership talks, 2) to respect religious and ethnic rights in Turkey and the Turkish occupited north part of Cyprus.

As an overseas Cypriot among numerous others that follows the Cyprus problem since the 50’s strongly believe that a just, lasting and workable Cyprus reunification solution can only be achieved if; a) The UNSC with mainly the permanent members remove all outside interferences from Cyprus according to the UN adopted resolutions, b) Give the needed time to the European Union to make all Cypriots feel European citizens and act accordingly, keeping always their ethnic and religious believes as all other European countries citizens do. c) The Guarantor powers realize that Cyprus as a full member of the EU and the UN does not need Guarantors and the Cypriots must be left alone under the UNSG’s supervision to solve THEIR OWN internal problems. Then and only then a just lasting and workable agreement can be reached with Cyprus operating as a valued partner within the EU.

Mr. Prime Minister David Comeron, 36 years have been exhausted because the UNSC did not implement adopted resolutions on Cyprus to assist in finding a just, workable and lasting solution. The Guarantor powers did not jointly consider the Cypriots human rights when trying to solve the reunification problem before or after the coup and invasion of 1974. Turkey sends and allowed illegal settlers into the occupied area of Cyprus that now outnumber the legal T/C’s. The Annan plan #5 was unworkable, undemocratic with numerous human rights violations. The “Cyprus by the Cypriots reunification talks” that rumors have it is a “British idea” does not appear to work due to the present conditions in Cyprus and above all with the Turkish military is controlling the security and the police of the Turkish occupied area of Cyprus.
YET Mr. Prime Minister you tell the world including the Cypriots, the Kurds, and the European Union that you are anger at the “slow pace” of the Turkish EU negotiations and that you want to see a settlement agreed by the two Cypriot leaders and successfully implemented by the G/C’s and the T/C’s THIS YEAR ie in less than six months. We ask you Mr. Prime Minister is Britain now going to use CONCRETE ACTIONS rather than wards to mead her applications towards the EU and Cyprus by DEMANDING, a) From Turkey to implement UN adopted resolutions that can help the Cypriots to find a just workable and lasting solution, resolutions involving security and Human Rights violations in Cyprus, b) Requesting from Turkey to stop Human Rights violations against the Kurdish, the Armenians and other minorities to help her with the EU membership problem.

Every year it is the same politcal shenanigans regarding the Cyprus issue. This Cyprus charade ended in 1974! Finished! Case Closed.

@John Alexander

I know you want us TC's gone but just to let you know you missed that train long time ago ;-) EOKA/Sampson tried and they failed! this was their destiny! So I guess your only weapon against us Turks, is vomiting over the internet with your racist insults and ani-turkism propaganda! mana mou :-( you poor thing. :-(

nerol, turkey has done well over the past 10 years I agree with you. competing against India, china, Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc. Within the cheap labour markets. But can you tell me what does turkey actually make that's 100% turkish

Truth be told, here are some comments and objective statistics to keep you seething. You are right Cyprus is tiny and like a mosquito only irritating to those who are bothered by it.

UK Trade & Investment Chief Executive Sir Andrew Cahn said:
“Turkey is an economic powerhouse with enormous potential for UK companies. With current growth levels of 11 per cent, it is tipped to be Europe’s second largest economy by 2050. Situated at the crossroads between east and west, doing business in Turkey can provide a foothold for companies looking to do business in the Middle East, European and Central Asian markets”

· OECD estimates that Turkey will be the fastest-growing economy after China and India by 2017.
· Turkey is one of the world’s largest markets with a population of 73 million, of which 60 per cent is under the age of 35.
· A key Turkish investor is Beko, which makes one in 10 of the UK’s refrigerators.

· Turkey is the number one TV manufacturer in Europe. It makes a third of all flat-screen TVs and is the largest DVD player producer in Europe.
· Turkey is the world's 6th largest clothing manufacturer and the 2nd largest supplier to the EU (after China). Turkish companies manufacture garments for many world-renowned brands including Gap, Marks & Spencer, Burberry, Next and H&M.
· Turkey’s construction/contracting sector is the second largest in the world, after China.
· One in four of the largest companies in the Middle East and North Africa are Turkish.
· 65 per cent of industrial exports from the Middle East and North Africa originate from Turkey.
· More than 2,000 UK companies are already doing business in Turkey, including household names such as Vodafone, Tesco and Marks & Spencer, Rolls Royce, AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmith Kline.
· Turkey’s tourism sector is one of the biggest in the world. It is the 7th most visited country in the world.

This site is getting progressively worse - if that's possible.
No reasonable debate is possible whilst the idiots are posting
under various different names. The moderation is non-existant
and not even the minor rules are adhered to by either the
posters or the Cyprus Mail.

My suggestion to the Cyprus Mail would be to either install a
proper comments facility with delayed publishing or remove the
facility all together.

What is certain is that it will dissuade people from visiting or
participating.

With all the above said I doubt anyone at the Cyprus Mail will take
any notice - they haven't in the past when this has been brought up
by many, many readers.

I read articles on here and then sometimes scroll down to gauge a few opinions.

It's really difficult when every story is hijacked by the same people saying the same thing.

It's boring for everyone else. If you don't like each other......fine we get it........if you want to do damage to each other.......that's fine as well.

Why not arrange to meet up and settle any differences like men rather than sqabble like little girls on here?

to john Alexandre from london
sarcastic, but realistic at the same time
let them get your sound message and read it properly
öz

Well, John Alexander's proposal is a rather tasteless satirical attempt that he himself would not take serious. After all, the fire department of Edirne would be sufficient to sink the whole Greek army into the Aegean.

Christoph 'from USA' is a North London electrician who sometimes poses as Hassan Kemal from Kyrenia.

Thank goodness the decision if and when it is made is not in your hands...the abuse is appaling.....childish...you should read what you have said and reflect.....this is a public site and many read...yes i know if i dont like it then dont read it...i hoped there would be sosme useful dialogue sadly it has degenerated as usual...mr moderator where are you...

I don't mind at all, Dave. Anything to get up the noses of the 'Mongol bastards'.

See what you've done now, Bambouin. You've got me on a self-fulfilling prophecy. You keep telling me I'm an evil Greek nationalist and I've come to believe it.

bambos, your turky compatriots cross the Green Line to the south every day, seeking education, employment, medical and social services, and apply for Republic passports by the thousands!

Dave(?) - I didn't know "turky kids" were educated in Cyprus. Normally, the young birds are referred to as Poults or Chicks, and don't receive any education, but are rather eaten at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Cyprus must be very advanced indeed to educate its Turkeys.

Just playing with you, Dave. I wouldn't know, but I seriously doubt that half of the Turkish / Turkish Cypriot kids head south every day for their education.

Bambos, From what I understand half the turky kids on the island get their education from the "Cyprus state school system".

Bambos, was it really approved by the EU?. I must have missed that one. Probably because I didn't go to the world famous school of crap at the KFC University of re-writing history.

trixi from the KFC, When Lord Byron traviled to turkey in the 19th century. He wrote about how the turks and english were very similor "The turks would drink sherbet and sodomise. The English would drink ale and brawl". I wonder if David Cameron's brave enough to quote Lord Byron? in the same way Margaret Thatcher did back in the 80's.

John Alexander, dear boy, continue your fantasies, blah, blah, blah, what do I care, but please, please, tell us what realistic solution do you then propose...you're long on hot air, but cruelly short on concrete proposals....

I'm begining to think John Alexander is just an AI (artificial intelligence - yes, I realise that intelligence is an oxymoron in his case) programme created by KYP under Papadop which simply posts standard Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs answers to any post having to do with the Cyprob. It looks for key words, and then creates a standard response.

Bambouin, The US-inspired, British written, Turky-approved 5th Annan plan, pleeeease, it was NEVER "EU or UN approved". The US and UK stated their wish to have it approved by the UNSC, but gave up in the face of insufficient votes, not to mention possible Chinese and French vetoes. The Annan's plan was NEVER endorsed by the Security Council, and whatever support for it in the EU came from INDIVIDUALS and not collective or state resolutions. And mostly as a "wish".

And just to be clear, the Annan plan would have abolished the Republic of Cyprus at a stroke, created a confederation of two independent states, and ridden roughshod over basic human rights and democratic norms. There would have been no right of return for refugees, all the settlers would have been allowed to stay and the three freedoms of movement, settlement and ownership would have been severely restricted or abolished altogether. Of course, there were other things in it – provisions for government, economy and security – that were equally unjust and unworkable, but who wants to regurgitate arguments against the Annan abomination all over again; it's been consigned to the dustbin of history, where it belongs. The only people who bring it up now are Bambouin and Nikolas Papadopoulos, who's still grieving for his father. I've suggested what Bambouin's problems might be in my previous comment.

Emir from the KFC, how was your cheap beer under the turky flag?

Bambouin; there's either one of two things going on with you. Either you have an unhealthy fixation with the defunct and discredited Annan plan because you need you're head examined; or, you genuinely do not understand all of its provisions and their implications in which case you need to develop your critical faculties and read more widely. In fact, if Annan was the 'painful compromise' we've been told to expect and not capitulation, what did Erdogan mean when he declared after being presented with the plan that 'this is the greatest victory for Turkish diplomacy since Lausanne'?

Bang,

With my luck christopher Would turn up without a screwdriver, !!!

Christoph your comments prove that you are a loser, and all you need to do now is to get a job and get a life :) unless you add something to this conversation like gibratsi, bambouni and James dont even bother writting anything, go sit in your hole whereever it is, in US or in Greece to me it doesnt matter because both countries are so busted that i dont see any turning back, turkey on the other side is doing better than cyprus, greece etc.. and remember i am not turk or cypriot. i am just a person with common sense and i live here, i want to see both sides together and i love this island, because it is my 2nd home... so what u need to do is go out stand in life infront of labor office and get yourself a job so you dont waste time posting pathetic comments :)

good luck, or you can go fix James lights and he will pay you good, James please help this guy out he needs money :) and his electrical engineering is going to waste :)

Gibratsi - I agree. No family connection with Morphou for me, but it would have been nice for all refugees or displaced, GC or TC, to be able to return to their homes if they wanted, or at least get some of their property back, and compensation for the rest.
Despite the fools like Christoph, JA et al., and in fairness quite a few on the TC/Turkish side as well, I believe that it would have worked out fine over time. Although both sides have legitimate fears of the other, these could have been solved gradually over time, as was provided for in the plan. Alas, it is not to be. Too bad. If a similar solution cannot be found again, then at least hopefully some sort of amicable seperation can be reached. What a pity...

christopher I give you Some Work

My house in Emba needs a few light Bulbs Changed, They are Screwbase not Pin So you not Have a problem

But is it Christopher from USA or HaSSan from Kyrenia or is there more Personalities inside your Frame. ???

Shame you never Auditioned for the Rainmaker Film, You be perfect.

Oh By the Way Cyprus is South of Turkey and North of Egypt See even the Scots Will Help you identify the Subject.

Oh no, Bang, run for your life, Christoph has started to "Haw-haw-haw" again, whatever that means.

I think in American "English", that means something like, "I don't have the balls to confront the Turks, nor do I wish to negotiate a realistic solution with them, so I'll just keep cowering in my pathetic hole, producing hot air...."

bang: Christoph is a North London electrician sometimes posing as Hassan from Kyrenia. I am not sure he knows that the AC current in the US is 110V.

Bambouin: what makes you think that I am not prepared to compromise? There is a difference, however, between compromise and capitulation – capitulation being what you seem to favour. I accept that, given the Turkish invasion and occupation, and to avoid partition, we have to accept some sort of federation involving two zones, in which TCs will have autonomy just short of independence. However, while I'm willing to make concessions to the TCs, who are genuine and legitimate inhabitants of Cyprus, I do not accept any solution that preserves or enhances the presence of Turkey on the island. And I cannot accept that the two zones should be ethnically 'pure'. This is an abomination. The three freedoms – movement, settlement, ownership – must be inviolable, as far as I'm concerned. The TCs have no legitimate fears that can justify their suspension.

John Alexander.

your latest post on Gavin Jones Who is Anglo Cypriot. Just Shows your ignorance, Inbred hatreds

JT Well You asked a ? Why I as a person Who Owns Land in the South thought, And I told you Straight the Corruption of the ROC sickens me. You then backed off You want me to name the GCs caught in Corruption ?? What do You think MAINSTREAM EU Countries think of your Police, Lawyers, Banks, Political leaders, THE LOT OF THEM EMBROILED IN RUSTAFELI ie Corruption to the rest of the World.

Christopher a man With Split Personalities, He Not got one connection With Cyprus !! Add in the ELAM FREAKS and that What you got

ROC 2010 !!!!

Christoph: You are right, What the Brits think about the Cyprus problem is the same as the rest of europe. Nothing.

I do not know, Zak, how your UK immigration problem relates to the subject. However, no Turkish citizen of Kurdish background without PKK affiliation has a problem to prosper in Turkey, millions have done so.
Where do you find a reference to Turks in Germany?

If you are a supporter of the likes of Enoch Powell you need not say any more!

The fact is Mr Loriot of Lapta, that thousands of Turks from Turkey are being allowed to come to the U.K.
How?
Simply by lying to the foreign office and saying that they are Kurds and are seeking political assylum.
They laugh when they talk about this!
Then they proceed to claim housing, unemployment/ child/ and sick benefit.
At the same time they work, and of course (being unemployed)
the pay no tax.
One more thing you should know
Fact:
They have moslem solicitors in the mosques, advising them, and the North Africans how to cheat the system. this was actually confirmed by one of them.
WAKE UP BRITAIN!! Where oh where are men like Enoch Powell????
instead of poodles like Blair/Cameron?
Incedentally check your calculations! the number of Turks in Germany far exceeds your figures

Trust me, Gavin Jones, the last thing on my mind is to engage you. You and your views hold absolutely no interest for me. I object to any comment on this forum which I regard as erroneous or giving a false picture of the Cyprus problem. In fact, I find it more interesting to read the views of Fevzi, Loriot and Emir Soler because I at least find out what the other side is thinking, whereas from you all there is is this pathetic attempt to masquerade as a Greek Cypriot and a pompous effort to establish yourself as a 'realist' and a voice of moderation in a sea of ranters and extremists, behind which is a contempt for Cypriots and an ignorance of their culture, history and politics.

I was going to go on to dispute your point about the weak suffering what the strong decide for them and your facile attempt to apply it to Cyprus, but I can't be bothered.

So then, nerol, why does Turkey continue to waste its money supporting troops in Cyprus if its such a super power? Just imagine the economic growth if the motherland didn't have to support all those troops sitting on their hands in Cyprus. It is time the motherland woke up to the reality that occuping Cyprus is not helping to advance the nation. Let Cyprus be the tiny island that it is. Somewhere that people from rich countries go for vacationing, and let Turkey focus on being one of the world economic leaders.

JT

Does the penney Not Drop With You and your ilk.

Its 2010 !!!

And as to your Comments On My House in the South, The ROC has treated the people Who purchased in the South with Such Contempt and in Many Cases complete Dishonesty !!!!!

So While preaching To the World About justice for the North They operate a Banana Republic in the South,

Do you Call That Values ???

There is a solution to the Cyprus Problem.

It should start with a restructured government that would ensure all citizens of a united Cyprus will be represented. Then hold general elections where anyone with a current Cypriot passport may vote. Once all positions are filled, the full and complete removale of all Turkish forces from the island. Then any refugees that had been forced out of the north should have their land returned. If their old land is now occupied, they should be given a new piece of land equal in value and size.
And from then on, all citizens should be known as Cypriot. Just Cypriot. You are not Greek. Greeks live in Greece. You are not Turkish. Turks kive in Turkey. You are Cypriot.

Keepout of Cyprus

You State oil in Turkey Sorry Wrong Go East from there Past Georgia/Armenia Then You Come to the Oilfields Azerbaijan Eastwards.

No need to Thank Me I am British

JT can you please not use racist language. Make your point by all means but please...

John Alexander.

It is indeed a pity that you have a tendency to resort to insulting others who do not share your views, in my case accusing me of 'prejudice and pomposity'.
Still, you're simply showing that by attempting to provoke others to engage with you you're probably suffering from a deep-seated persecution complex. Fortunately, the likes of you will always be in the minority so continue with your hateful rants if you must as it only goes to confirm to everyone what a sad specimen you are.

For the record, in the modern era it wasn't only the 'US and the West' who engaged in carving up the world or were the Soviet Union and China the 'good guys'?

You ask me what my point is. I respectfully suggest that you re-read what I posted at 15.41 and you will see that the 'point' is that small nations have to tread a very careful path when dealing with stronger ones. Get it?

Well done, well said.

why is so much hate passed through families on both sides of the island of Cyprus, After nearly 40 years it is now time for there to be one island of Cyprus were all people can move around freely.

We are in the year of 2010, not the dark ages its time to go forward not backwards

Quite, John Alexander from London.

You confirm exactly why Cyprus got 'whacked'.

Phew! After all that little lot of the usual rantings, ping-pongings of who did what to who, which nation suffered more, general martyrdom and the predictable slagging off of Cameron, when will people realise that all this stuff is irrelevant. ALL Cypriots are minnows in the wider scheme of things and they should have wised up decades ago as to how the world works. 'Big Powers' throughout history have always had their own agendas so why do Cypriots always whinge about it as though it's something new? Get real, people, and learn the rules of the game.

Unfortunately for them, the Cypriots were too naive, self-centred, arrogant and hell bent on bickering amongst themselves to wake up to these realities and got whacked for their pains by the big players. All the above characteristics are in evidence today as witnessed in the ongoing puerile behaviour of Cypriot politicians.

To quote Kissinger, Makarios was a 'primitive' and with his cohorts helped to lead his nation to catastrophe. (Why his picture is still stuck up in public places like some sort of God is a constant source of amazement to many). The current crop of politicians are also 'primitives' and incapable of making any pragmatic, decisive decisions and telling their own people the facts of life.

God help Cyprus.

John Alexander -

"Attila: it was the Beach Boys not our 'ventian Catholic brothers' who created Surfdom."

Finally, you write something that is actually witty and, indeed sort of funny !!! There is hope for you yet.

Attila - although you are entirely correct, it was Serfdom, rather than Surfdom, imported/created by the various medieval Christian rulers of Cyprus. Surfdom probably was created by the Beach Boys, as JA asserts.

Get Real,

Maybe the Cyprus Authorities Will Do Some thing on All the Scams, Frauds, Maybe Even Devise a System That People Can Get Title Deeds to Houses they Purchased.

But Maybe Pigs Will Fly First ????

To John Alexander:

Actually Attila is right on this one. As a GC myself I do know my history. It was under Venetian rule that Cyprus suffered its greatest opression when the Venetians tried to forcibly convert the locals to Catholicism. Under the Ottomans, the Orthodox Church was allowed to operate freely on the proviso they encouraged the population pay taxes to the local Ottoman Governor. The Cypriots did do this and uniquely, Cyprus was the only Ottoman protectorate in its empire where the Orthodox Church was allowed to be practised freely and openly.

It wasnt until the attempted uprising in 1821 that the Church was punished on the island.

There you go!

After 36 years of both sides failing in attempts to resolve the "Cyprus Problem", and if the present round of negotiations should again fail to succeed by 31st December this year, it seems to me that Cyprus should take advantage of our own new International Arbitration Centre in Nicosia and allow an International Arbitration Tribunal to take over.

Cyprus people and business interests would benefit so tremendously from unification of any kind that could be agreed upon now. Then make the best of whatever terms can be agreed, imperfect as they might be from both sides point of view.
Just imagine free movement without unnecessary borders, free trade, open airports and seaports, without expensive restrictions, no more military presence and a new prosperity boom as a result
Too good to be true? not if our Leaders PRESS ON AND COMPLETE THE JOB FOR WHICH THEY WERE ELECTED.

Dear Attila etc you are boasting about the 300 year equivalent of conquering of the whole island and complain about the bad treatment from SOME Greek cypriots for a time period of 14 years???
Both nations have wronged and the current generations pay for it!

Abide by international law…

When Lord Byron traviled to turkey in the 19th century. He wrote about how the turks and english were very similor "The turks would drink sherbet and sodomise. The English would drink ale and brawl". I wonder if David Cameron's brave enough to quote Lord Byron? in the same way Margaret Thatcher back in the 80's did.

Thanks Dave - I hope you feel better now.

Student: please go back to your history studies. Cyprus became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1571 and not in the 18th century. The island remained under Turkish sovereignty for more than 300 years, longer than under any other rule in this millenium.

Atilla ---Turkey intervened using it's legal right; the Greek Army invaded Cyprus before Turkey intervened; Both mother lands tried to gain Cyprus as their own,Turkey was the strongest and won the battle...

Turkey found the pretext to impose its partitionist plans against Cyprus following the coup of July 15, 1974, perpetrated against the elected government of President Makarios by the Athens military junta. On July 20, claiming to act under article 4 of the Treaty of Guarantee, the Turkish armed forces staged a full scale invasion against Cyprus. Though the invasion was in violation of all rules of international legality, including the UN Charter, Turkey proceeded to occupy the northern part of the island and empty it from its Greek inhabitants.

Atilla :---two wrongs dont make a right...in this case hundreds of wrongs dont make a right!If Turkey wanted REAL peace she would have occupied the island and must be a peace keeping force here and not a divider of people!Had she come to JUST keep the peace between the peoples of Cyprus she would be FAR better of today!Especially the TCs!!

our leaders on both sides are preparing the final conclusion,there job from the bigining is step by step to accept what is going to come.its so simple let the people return to there rightful property and come to an agreement on governance.but then again it was taken by war an invasion so therefore in a war there are winners and losers.

Zak, you are ill informed of people movements within the EU. Most new members have a restriction for some years until their standard of living is nearing the EU level and emigration becomes less desirable.
This is borne out by the fact that the percentage of EU nationals living in another EU country is currently 2-3 percent.
Whatever Cameron or any other politician says today is irrelevant because the point where an actual decision for Turkey is to be made is years away, long after the shelf life or contemporary politicians.
When this eventually happens there will be no unresolved Cyprus problem, because by then there will have been final division.

Dear Attila please get your facts right: the republic recognises the Turkish cypriots but ONLY the ones registered before the occupation/ Ofcourse it also recognises ALL of their descendants. All of these Tuskish Cypriots are eligible to republic of cyprus passports, whether they are allowed by their leaders or not is a different matter. Remember articles like this:
http://www.cyprus-mail.com/cyprus/passport-crackdown-north-opens-way-uk-...

What it does not recognise is the thousands of Turks brought after 1974 to fill the occupied and nearly empty North..

Cogito is definitely not a Norwegian!!
Norwegians have more sense!
Could he be one of those Turkey birds pretending he is a European I wonder?

Well Done Dave,

I hope you also take into Account The Vast number of MPs & MEPs who have been Submitting Cases to You and the EU, On the Dreadful Treatment Of British People in Cuprus on Property and other matters, Which the Cypriot Authorities Are ignoring.

David Cameron can call all he want, no one is going to answer the phone either way...

Well, done cameron , you need the money and work in the Uk so I am sure you will bypass request s from half an island which is quite unimportant financially.
Keep up the good work.
