Bitter & ill Informed

A great many Turkish Cypriots and some British soldiers lost their lives in the days when the great Greek Cypriot ambition was enosis (union with Greece). The only reason Turkey 'invaded' was to fulfill it's obligations (the very same obligations that Greece and the UK signed to) to keep the Island Independent. I am one of the very many Turkish Cypriot refugees from the 1960's unrest caused by Archbishop Macarios and his followers, burned out of our home by our Greek Cypriot neighbours.

The fact is that the Island has had it's longest period of peace since the Turkish Army intervened.

Yes we have some unscrupulous property developers in the North as there are everywhere else in the World and unless buyers are as careful when buying property there as they would be when buying property anywhere else in the World then they may get caught out.

The main differance between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots is that the Greeks continue the hatred, who voted against union and the Anand plan just before they were admitted to the Eu themselves? Who voted for union and the Anand plan?

As to Hospital benefits and facilities, who has had billions of pounds of aid whilst another side has none?

You should read and learn and truly understand that there is never just one side to any story.
