The smart guide to Northern Cyprus writen in stupid newspaper


They forgot to say that the land where the hotels they mention belongs to families that were violently displaced from their homes 35 years ago. They forget to mention that the EU and UK courts have many times dictated sentences against Turkey for not letting Greeks Cypriots to use their land, they forget to mention that in order to have hotels there we are today making the funerals of 3 small children assassinated by Turkish troops in cold blood in their baby beds and barrier in mass graves.

Read the article of our friend Mark Hodson and I am sure you would love to fly to “Ercan” and feel the warmth of the people there. He forgets that the people there are under military rule and that the people there are becoming people elsewhere since they leave “North Cyprus” due to military occupation by the troops they once beleived that they were ther to save them from the Greeks.

I understand that Mark has to make a living but he needs to be objective if he writes for the Sunday Times. He forgot to mention travel insurance from the EU does not cover the visitor there, he forgot to mention that the visitor is not allowed to take pictures in many areas, much more than you can think of since is military areas, he forgot to mention that the visitor takes risks and not even his embassy can help him.

Also the Sunday Times needs to be careful who writes what and how. Promoting illegality is similar to committing illegality. What is the difference between saying go to this shop where they sell stolen watches and buy a great Rolex for 30 pounds and go to “North Cyprus” and stay in this stolen hotel?
