FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE 26.APR.09

Under the front-page headline “Financial aid of 815 million TL for investments from motherland Turkey to the TRNC in 2009”, the Turkish Cypriot daily Vatan newspaper writes that Turkey is planning to provide aid of 815 million 69 thousand TL (Turkish Lira) to the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus in 2009.



The economic “protocol” was signed in occupied Cyprus on March 27, between Turkey’s State Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek and the self-styled "prime minister", Ferdi Sabit Soyer.



According to the paper, the aid will be allocated for 'the implementation of 345 infrastructure and 92 real sector projects of 225 million 166 thousand TL and 88 million TL worth respectively in 2009".

You all believe in fairy tales. The new ministers in the new government need new Mercs. So what's new?!

Makes you wonder if they know something.



Why pay all that money if you think a deal is likely.Better to let RoC or EU stump up the funds.

Please read my comments as printed in the paper at the bottom of the article.

The incomig prospective Prime Minister Dervish Eroglu have announced that their first job is to tackle the economy. They will need a magnifying glass to find it.

Ismet,



Liked your comments on this article.



I find your postings really informative and helpful. In your opinion do you think Turkey really want to join the EU??
