holidays to the occupied areas

Postby lysi » Tue Nov 15, 2005 2:30 pm

Will any members of this forum who dont agree with the occupation and the advertising of holidays to the north complain to TRANSPORT FOR LONDON who have adverts at there underground stations for holidays to the occupied north of cyprus ?
These adverts are offensive to those greek cypriots who have lost there homes and land .

WWW.TFL.GOV.UK or WWW.VIACOM-OUTDOOR.CO.UK these are the greedy people who put up the adverts.

Or if you see these offensive adverts then you can pull them down or deface them.

Hi Lysi

There is no point in complaining to TFL, there was a ban but it was overturned by the High Court, as I am sure you know, so any approach to TFL is fruitless.

svetlana, people should at least try. If all right thinking greek cypriots complain about the exploitation of there land and property then things will start to move.
But as usual the greek cypriots sit back and do nothing.

Hi Lysi

My point was that TFL had banned the ads; when the ban gets overturned by a High Court, they can do nothing. Hence, complaining to TFL will achieve nothing.

Svetlana, if your home and land was stolen and you were made a refugee in your own country what would you do ?
Would you sit back a watch thousands of people go on holiday to your occupied land and say nothing.

Regrettably Lana is correct.

The American Indians can complain about the theft of their lands and culture, but did they get them back?

Eventually time will blur the isue and no-one will care (the international community don't care now about the Cyprus occupation issue because Cyprus is small fry and Turkey is a potentially big commercial market)

When did morality and law ever agree

Greece and many other countries got liberated from the Ottomans after centuries of occupation.

davidp, you have a voice, use it to complain to those greedy people who sell stolen greek land and promote holidays to the occupied areas.
DONT SIT THERE AND DO NOTHING LIKE THE CYPRUS GOVERNMENT.

lysi, the best action is what Titina Loizidou and the others that followed her did. If you are a refugee why don't you do the same?
