Dont forget that part when the CIA (and most likely other Western secret services) set fire to the churches and blame the Cypriot Turks and did the same to mosques by putting the blame on Greek Cypriots then. Those scums clearly dont love peace, its not in their advantage, never has been, as u know.

Sure, good comment !

And good post about Cyprus, Aanir !
This beautiful island became a playground for russian mafia and a kinda shelter for russian middle class, or holidaymakers.
BTW : world powers prefers to keep Cyprus divided, as always divide and rule, so the cooment above applies, sadly, as well.
Ommm, peace...

Cyprus introduced a tax in the 1970's on the British bases with historic repayments (alot of money), presently they were tax free - the British contacted their lacky's the Turks who were allowed to promptly invade right upto the British bases and not beyond - and this of course divided the island in half and the taxing of the British bases became a thing of the past.

Before the financial 2012–2013 crisis - at least a month before it broke (around march) - HSBC would not pay me any money out - it had blocked all transactions thru Bank of Cyprus ATM's and others - when I got back to the UK I wrote to them and they said they would reply with a full investigation but never did. HSBC was fully aware ahead of time what was about to go down.
