KYRENIA POST
Well, the
Property Market here is all but dormant it seems...why! The well
orchestrated propaganda machine kicked in by the European South
certainly has taken it’s toll this time round and what did anyone do
to countermand the situation... simple, nothing!
Could
anything have been done many are asking! The jury is still out on
that one! The kick-back is certainly starting to have effects on all
related businesses, and if the situation carries on during the
winter months then who knows what the consequences will be... but it
does not look promising by any means. Would-be purchasers are
certainly being more selective and with certain companies wavering
on the edge of make or break then it’s appears to be a buyers market
at present... so it’s bargain time for those with the readies! On
the other hand, what can be done to bring the market back to a
realistic level. Needs a little 'think tank' on that one and the
likes of certain bodies and organisations here are not going to
solve the problems or the immediate situation overnight. Someone has
the answers and the solution, but which office are these people in?
Well, they are not in any Estate Agents or Property Developers
offices nor in any planning department or land registry office. So
where are they? Well it seems that the time is not right for this
‘office’ to open ‘for business’ so to speak, and settle what needs
to be settled once and for all, and that is the land issue as a
whole. In turn, this will come about from a general settlement which
in turn will come about when the two sides sit down and hammer out a
solution. So don't hold your breath here because we all know only
too well that for a settlement to happen it will take the right
people to be in the right place with the right solution to suit
everyone concerned... is that ever possible, especially with the
European south who are just hell bent on doing everything possible
to keep the status quo just so!

In the meantime, everyone is
expected to carry on relentless and somehow cope, well that's
nothing new, the TRNC [Northern Cyprus] has been doing that for 31
years! Whilst those in a position waiting to resolve the situation
have the thankless task of being snubbed and left sitting on the
fence until the powers that be suddenly wake up to the fact that
here in North Cyprus there are many Europeans too as well as in the
south as a whole. So, considering all the Europeans here in the
north that do have rights as much as those in the south, when will
someone openly state that the embargoed north should not be so
anymore and the status quo has to change...now! After all, the
Cypriots here in the north did say overwhelmingly ‘yes’ to certain
plans and since then, heads have been well and truly buried in the
sand and the frustration from the European south becomes even more
intense, but the northern Cypriots have to wait patiently in their
quest for equality and justice.
The frustrations of being
told what to do and to comply and conform are certainly shown by
those on the check points in the south, where certain officials
intimidate anyone they can... except their own of course!... the
frustration is so plain to see and reflects very much in their
unfriendly and uncivilised manner, its nothing short of
discrimination and victimisation. And these are suppose to be
Europeans abiding by European rules and regulations... really! For
those of us living here long enough to understand that the south is
‘a law unto itself’ then how can anyone expect the hand of
friendship to be given in goodwill.
The European south will
go its own way and will never consider anyone else in the picture,
that's how they are and that's how they always will be! Selfish to
the core and arrogant to the end.
