Has anybody read this charter before, if so what do they think of it and its purpose?
Its only fair that Gibrizlija be given official status, this is something encouraged by the UN and EU and now considered a basic human right. Turkish Cypriots should demand to make Gibrizlija official, along side Turkish and English. I believe the following paragraph underlines our rights quite clearly
