tracer, on face value this does in fact sound bad. But when you compare 7529 Million, to the USA deficit of 497.8 Billion and the UK balance of 4.8 Billion. It then looks like the Turkish economy is in pretty good shape.

my concern is for you geof



the Inflation rate is down to around 5% right now, but the "bad news" is for the visitors in the north who were planning to live off their interests on Turkish currency accounts forever, so they thought when the rate was around 15%-20%, is now less than 7%, which means that they will be living off their savings from now on, and once that runs out or they can't provide evidence to the "trnc" that they have enough savings to live in the north, so will end their fun in the sun.!

also that's like comparing apples and..........errrr, elephants. The USA can buy and sell Turkey many times over, despite the US having a bad times economically at the moment, hence the reason why the US dollar is down. While the USA's GDP is about 25 times larger than Turkey's, it's population is only 4 times larger than Turkey's. Besides, the 7.5 Billion US Dollars is just for December 2010 and not for the whole year. The full year's deficit current account for Turkey is about 48.5 Billion US Dollars. Do the math.!

A showdown is inevitable,” said one senior diplomat, speaking to a group of journalists in İstanbul this week. “We are now looking to see how this showdown will take place and what results will come out of it.”

madturk, I love the interest rates in UK, we have 0.5% base rate for borrowing money. It's about time people with money found another way of making a living then sucking dry the poor people who need to borrow to own a home. My suggestion is buy property and rent it.

Leave the interst rates alone. Long may it continue, although I suspect that having the Cons in power in the UK, it will not last very long.

madturk, we all lost some relatives or friends or even both. We must learn to look forward and live together in peace. You will find that a lot of people on both sides who lost very close relatives wish to know what happened, find their relatives remains, give them a decent burial and have closure. Then we can move forward and live like we did before this enosis/taksim cancer gripped the island. That does not mean back to 1960 set up but there must be a way of living with our neighbours. Subject to of course silencing the fascists on both sides.

Whether you like it or not you are either Greek or Greek Cypriot.

Remind me please on the fiscal status of the ROC seeing as you are in financial mode at the moment.

Please tell us all about the lies told by the ROC government about their fiscal status on entry to the EU.

My guess is that they had a bit of advice from the 'motherland' Greece on how to cook the books because that is certainly what Greece did.

There are at least two separate distinct races on the Island. The Turkish and the Greeks who depending on when their families arrived on the Island regard themselves as Greek Cypriots (with the emphasis on Greek) and the Turkish Cypriots (Although a lot of them now call themselves Cypriot Turks). Let me put something to you. I believe that the two tolerated each other (obviously until the problems arose) and this is evident in a lot of history books (not that you would have access to any Government educational literature about the island history prior to 1974) and it was evident that there were two distinct cultures, Virtually no inter marriages (frowned upon by both sides) separate coffee shops, obviously different religions etc. So was that an integrated society? My guess is that at leasy you are are a 2nd generation 'removed refugee' that has never suffered what previous generations have suffered and have probably never lived on the land that your ancestors claim as theirs.

AJ, what you said is not quite right. My grandmothers could not speak Turkish at all and yet she was Turkish. I have lots of real Greek Cypriot cousins in the south some extreme fascists too. The suggestion that the two cultures did not mix is not true. People lived like true cypriots baking bread in a common oven and such.

The Turkification of the TCs and the Greekefication of the GC did not start until 1963. For instance the the Turkish Major Appointed by Turkey to Lurucina banned speaking of Greek in the village. The Lurucadis obviously did not speak Greek in front of him but many could not speak Turkish so they avoided him. We still speak Greek to this day. It is so beautiful sitting in a kahve and listening to them talk fluently in both languages.

Just to confuse the issue even more, I have a Turkish cousin in the north who does not speak a word in Turkish to this day.

Yes there are Cypriot and Ottoman and Greek and Italian and Arab and Armenian blood in every one of

Luricina,my grandad's birth place (was known as GASHAI),diorios,my grandmother's birth place.They lived in diorios UNTIL 1963 then were made refugees.I was born and raised in an aspestos home in Nicosia.



You see tracer some of us weren't lucky enough to grow up in their birth place due to 'others' greedeness.

I too remember my great aunty coming to visit us from Luricina and we had to wait for my dad to come home before we could communucate.

gadalaves?



If you happen to be over this way let me know,I'll take you over to diorios.I know you could go yourself,it's just a friendly gesture.

I don't know much regarding Luricina but in diorios,yorgoz,tepebasi only handful few had returned until 74.We were given an obtion to return to one of the greek owned houses as opposed to our house being demolished but my dad refused on the bases of 'it's not my house',so we carried on residing in Nicosia in a rented property.Nor he axcepted the 48 donums of land/olive orchards he was 'given'.

Refuges from Dali, Bodmaya and Aysozomeno came to Lururucina in 63. Aprox 2000 people. Only 1 man went back to Dali in all the rest did not return to their homes till 74. After the invasion they all moved to the north.

According to Martins Packard book (getting it wrong ) Tmt and the turkish major force them to stay.

and not only for lurucina.
