This is a very important day for the TRNC and all of us who live here.

Who is it going to be???

Quote from yesterday’s Cyprus Today “As usual alcohol sales will be banned tomorrow, with off licences, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets off limits except for any refreshments but soft drinks until polls close at 6.00pm.”

It is worth a mention here that out of 7,000 -10,000 ex pats, only around 300 have been granted citizenship and therefore can vote.
