I don't think the actual recipe/method was "stolen" its just that you lot got there first in patenting the name - thats all.

You became a thief when you decide to declare your pseudostate. It's your fault so don't blame GCs.

A proof that economic embargo and isolation in "TRNC" is a myth from a TC newspaper:

Turkish Cypriot daily KIBRISLI newspaper (07.02.07) reports that the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Industry and the dairy producers are seriously worried about the attitude of the Greek Cypriot side (Tr. Note: The Republic of Cyprus) which decided to register the name of traditional HALLOUMI cheese as a Cypriot trade mark.

The paper notes that the government of the Republic of Cyprus has published an announcement in the Turkish Cypriot press informing those who have any objections that they should submit them in writing within 30 days.

According to KIBRISLI, the Turkish Cypriot Halloumi producers are expected to be influenced from this. It notes that the Turkish Cypriots export more than 17 thousand tons of Halloumi cheese annually, especially to Arab countries and lately to the EU member countries.
The paper notes also that Mustafa Gunduz, General Secretary of the Chamber of Industry, said that the issue is very important and that in case the HALLOUMI cheese is registered as a Cypriot trade mark, the Halloumi cheese produced in the occupied areas of Cyprus would not be exported to the world market under the name of “Hellim”. Thus the economy will suffer a great blow, he argued. Gunduz said that the three of the five firms which conducted the most exports from the occupied areas are dairy producers.

Furthermore, the director of Meric Hellimleri (Halloumi cheese producers), Candan Avunduk told KIBRISLI that his firm exports a thousand tons of Halloumi annually.

He noted that within the coming days they will participate in a fair in Dubai and try to sell their products there. He added, inter alia, the following:

“However, these developments worry us. The government must not sleep on this issue and it must support its producers. It must be by our side in Dubai. They (Tr. Note: The Greek Cypriots) try to prevent us everywhere. We try to export the products of this country by overcoming these obstacles. …”.

have a look at the packetages .whats says on them.
with brand name Hellim , they can sell it .

I repeat once more: I saw it in a supermarket with the name Gazi Halloumi on it.
You can NOT sell it either by Halloumi or a different name (Hellim). It is patented and can only produced with a seal from the Republic of Cyprus. Read the EU laws. Otherwise what's the purpose of patenting something if someone else can reproduce it just by changing the name of it?
By the way, the word hellim was made up after 1974 for obvious reasons.

We can find the ways to sell our products for our living.

Thieves also make a living by stealing. What's your point?

on my birth certificate it says i was born at 1957.

we never used the word HALLOUMİ.
We always said and called HELLİM.

Hİ KİKAPU,
What are you called for ..................... ?

[purdey]

I always thought it was first made by the Egyptions.

Even if that is true, the law can not be broken at will.

Kurupetos, give it a rest mate, they stole a whole country at will and you think they give a shit about halloumi.

Thieves are thieves they have no respect for the law or anythink else so don't expect anything from them but crime.

As for the Tes ticle woman, she is even worst, she is hardly going to side with you when she is being knobbed by a turk is she now.

All is to be expected when dealing with the turks.

Halloumi, was invented by the 'Irish', sure any fool knows that !!.
