I believe that the EU needs to pour money into the north to bring up the standard of living there. The conditions are dismal, as I witnessed with my own eyes -for the people that is. The leadership, and those surrounding it, are living in luxury. There is also a strong divide between "native" turkish-cypriots and turk immigrants. Usually, the natives enjoy a higher standard of living, are bilingual, and wish to reunite with the greeks. Many immigrants on the other hand, keep to themselves live in poverty and want partition.

On the greek side, there are those who believe that turks don't belong in Cyprus, and only want to live with turkish-cypriots. There are also those that can live with everyone in the north.

The strongest feeling that I've seen is that greeks don't want to have to pay to increase the standard of living in the north.

Once the embargo is dropped we'll send money to the south..
