Lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Re-opening of Famagusta Article- completed on 27^th May 2010. http://www.lawcyprus.org/

We recently reviewed an article in the daily newspaper that totally got our attention.  The article spoke of re-opening the Famagusta Ghost Town and making this a tax-free zone where Turkish and Greek Cypriots will work and live together in peace and harmony.

We found this very so very interesting and we actually think this is an excellent idea.  This would definitely be a stepping stone in to the peaceful reunification of Greek and Turkish Cypriots living as one.

The Famagusta Ghost Town was once a thriving and beautiful place to be.  It was classed as the most popular holiday destination in Cyprus until the Turkish military invaded and took control of the area in 1974.  The Turkish military are still there today patrolling the borders of the Ghost Town while the town itself sits derelict and rotting away.

It was mentioned that the area should be governed by an independent unbiased source from outside the two communities and should be a joint venture between both Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots. A tax free policy should be brought in and stay in force permanently.

Can you imagine what it would feel like to see this once flourishing coastal town in full operation again, with Turkish and Greek nationals living side by side?  Just thinking about this makes our hearts jiggle a beat.

Would it not be the biggest and most historical moment in Cyprus history for Greek and Turkish Cypriots, if this was agreed and all citizens on both sides of the island put their hands up in a vote and the Famagusta Ghost Town reopened?  That day would be like standing in the middle of a magical wonder world.  Wow what a thought.

It was a pleasure reviewing and writing this article and we would like to hear from our readers how you feel about this idea. This is an issue very close to our hearts along with hundreds of thousands of other individuals so please tell us your views we would love to hear from you.
