If anyone has any other links to video that's worth watching on the subject (from whichever viewpoint) I'd be interested in seeing them.

Hi Andy, there is some links to another program here (frontiers). Quality is iffy and formats are old , it was about 6 years ago I think I put these up.

the first one the 'unkown' program is the one you have given the youtube links to above.



There is also a link to the part of the secret med / trevor mcdonald program about cyprus in pretty low quality mkv format for any who might have missed it and want to watch it (if anyone wants to borrow the full HD 1.5gb version of the whole episode just email me) here

Sorry - ran out of space. To continue, the turkish Cypriots would all leave and it would just be an annexe of turkey and that can't be right. I rarely post an opinion on this forum but the video really touched home for me and the people of Cyprus and not for the expats who have a vested interest in their properties who would like turkey to take over the north. I ready do wonder at the attitude of the people who have bought there and have no interest for both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. I know that it is a very complex
