The only way this problem is contributing to the Cyprus Problem (since it has been placed in this section by halil) is that these Turk-TCs should not be working in the RoC whilst living under, and hence being complicit with, the continued Turkish occupation of Cyprus.

I hope they are not re-instated, or any other "TRNC" resident Turk-TCs, as workers in the free-area, once they have been made redundant .... That is only right, and may help them (Turk-TCs) realise they cannot continue to have their cake and eat it too! .....

I only wish to inform you that the vast majority of the GC society does not share at all your irrational and blind understanding and view of the Cyprus issue, and /or the method and way by which it may possibly be solved!

I second your views Kifeas

Still around, huh!

I am sure you will make every effort to change the staus quo

Nope ... He's not challenging enough! The baby can keep his candy ....

(Already he is seeking protection by associating with the big Kafouna )

Perhaps he thinks the same of you; not challenging enough!!. Mind you you seem to have calmed down somewhat.


Milti is gonna hate me.

Wish I only stay a "Kafouna" (whatever that means,) and I do not turn to become a "Kafros" (Kaffir) for you one day, in the sense we use the word in Cyprus.

The fact that the workers have not registered with a Trade Union doesn't mean they are working in the "black" or "grey" employment market. I would expect most of them to be able to claim unemployment benefits.

Third country nationals is a different matter.

I think quite a lot of them were opting to work "on the lump" as this practice was once called in the UK, i.e. for cash in hand and no questions asked. Employers were prepared to pay them more money for doing this, but it means that they have no legal protection when the going gets rough.

Could this have been sorted out at border control?????

No. Turkish Cypriots nowadays are free to cross for any purpose they like, without let or hindrance.

I have always been incessantly consistent with my supports and challenges .
I support constructive views that are beneficial to our people and I challenge views that at best can be described as acutely detrimental to the long term interests of Cyprus , ie , some of your views my dear lady .
As for being less challenging may I just say that one can raise to the challenge only when one is aroused enough , mentally of course , needless to say you do not provide the requisite stimulation , mental of course , to arouse such a challenge !

I have not sought to challenge you or any other. You seem too busy saving Cyprus to cope with much more.

I'll just continue asking questions which unsettle me, in the hope I may get some answers. You just carry on regardless, because you have all the answers!

What a bunch of bigots
