I’m not surprised, it’s not “officially” there!

Cyprus is one of those political situations with many avenues for solution but nearly as many people who benefit from the conflict and try to keep it in play. You’re right, the only people who lose out are those living a regular life; particularly in the north where more than 50% of the economic support is from Turkey.

I am old enough to remember the tense times of the past on the daily news. Perhaps tourism might help. It is proven time and time again, whatever nationality we are, most people simply want a good life and prospects for their children. If they are achieved then there is less disagreement.

A friend of mine who knows the south well, having visited many times, finally went to the north a few years back and was absolutely bowled over. She loved it and found it suited her much better than the south.

Azerbaijan has begun direct flights now to the north; I suspect one potential avenue for change will be countries in the east (Syria, Azerbaijan, etc.) that have already opened travel routes to formally recognize the north.
