Sener Levent is the only one who tells something about the occupation.I do not consider him a God, but where from can we get information when noone of you speaks? Even in this forum you have to be provoked the hell to open your mouths and say some truths. Listen very carefully to what Brother said. "We wisper the truths amongs us" in the North but cannot say them publicly. Hasan Kahvecioglu was talking to us a bit in the past, but after the regime sue him in court together with other journalists he shouted his mouth completely....
About Sener Levent he is right the number of TCs working in the free areas is 12K and this can be verified from the number of crossings every day!!! What they discovered to be 5-6K is those who registered their salary,by paying tax and social insurance out of that.The other 6 K sort of "agree" secretely with their bosses to work unregistered accepting a bit lower salary but still saving from the fact they don't pay tax and social insurance. Although that is illegal it seems our Police just plays crazy, because in addition to that Denktash taxes their salary as if they were working abroad by something like 20-30% I think.

This according to your poll of course which was made by telephone, and to which propably most settlers would refuse to even participate, and to which propably most settlers did not participate because they did not have a telephone, and because for many other reasons that only you can tell or find out.
Alexandre, Cannedmoose already gave the answer.The settlers 4 years ago were 57%. How far you think that figure is TODAY from my 2 out of 3 (66%) claim compared to your claim for 30 (?!)%

I said I understood and appreciated your reasons.Even if some will lead to economic improvement, there is no problem for me, in fact isn't that your human right to seek that? There would be a problem for me if that were your ONLY reason. But it is not.You listed very good and rigid reasons which I appreciated.Lets not spoil the whole spirit OK?
Brother
thank you too brother for the reasons you listed, they are equally appreciated like those of Metecyp. I knew the fact that "you whisper" the truths between you, and I appreciate your honesty in confirming it.

I don't know where I applied double standards against you, but if I did then I sincerely apologise.
