At last, an interesting article in Cyprus Today. If you’ve left a few tens of thousands of pounds in a bank account and forgotten about it for 10 years or more it might be worth claiming it because it’s about to be lost forever. Trouble is, that’s the only interesting article.
According to North Cyprus newspaper Kıbrıs (13.08.19) a cut to North Cyprus civil servant living allowance will cause crisis and chaos.

An interesting video put together in an attempt to explain how the Cyprus Problem came about. Obviously, the creator of the video has put together a story which paints a picture they want you to accept as truth but despite that the images show the history of the island.
If you are over 60 and do not have a North Cyprus Residency Permit then now you will have to buy one in three months time. According to the translation below you will have a year to get one. Many people, now over 60 and in theory free of the need to purchase a Residency Permit will remember the nightmare it used to be to get one. I wonder how much they will cost?
