Fishy Refugee

A refugee from Yerolakkos who currently lives in Britain got on to CyBC to tell them of a bizarre series of events regarding a matter of potential compensation for property he lost on 1974. He was shocked when he was told (by an equally hapless operative of the High Commission of the Perfidious Albion) to take the matter to a compensation committee in the pseudo-north.

And the anonymous refugee said that the man at the British High Commission in Nicosia told him to apply to the "President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus". The hapless refugee was in shock. He responded by saying that Britain was not the only member of the European Union (don't ask).

CyBC rightly made a stink of the unsavoury matter, while keeping the heroic refugee's identity anonymous. How it could stay that way after they revealed details of the phone conversation and the e-mail correspondence is beyond me. The Brits can now hunt down the refugee in question and play him like a dog. Someone out there, anyone way out there, do something!

I'm still curious as to why a refugee, now living in Britain, would call the British High Commission in Nicosia and ask about compensation, though. Oh, and let's not forget he was advised to keep his application for compensation to the pseudo-north quiet, lest he be labeled a traitor.
