The citizenship of the breakaway regime will reportedly be given to 50 thousand settlers from Turkey
Turkish Cypriot daily Ortam newspaper (17.01.08), under the title 18 thousand new citizens for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, reports that the real meaning of the long lines created in front of the so-called embassy of Turkey in the occupied part of Nicosia has been revealed. The paper writes that the breakaway regime wants to grant the citizenship of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to 18 thousand persons from Turkey at the first stage and that the total number of the persons who will take the citizenship will gradually reach 50 thousands.
The paper reports that according to information acquired by reliable sources, this was the reason for which many Turkish citizens who live in the occupied areas were brought recently to the embassy of Turkey and filled up a form under the name of establishing their place and address. It was found out that the CTP, the major coalition partner, is worried on the issue of making so many citizens, because of the promises it had given before the elections, notes Ortam adding that the Freedom and Reform Party (ORP), the other coalition partner, supports the granting of new citizenships. Invoking the same reliable sources, the paper notes that the issue was discussed during the recent visit of the Turkish Cypriot leader Talat to Ankara and that an agreement was reached between the sides.
cheers DP!
PS Most of the Turkish Cypriot should come to the South and leave the North to the Turks and the Settlers! |
