I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and TH-camr who's been to 55 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017. So far, my trips have taken me to Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This trip marked the start of my efforts to make a TH-cam full-time job.
After that European trip I went heavily into exploring Asia, visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan (seeing me cover a lot of Far East and Southeast Asia in particular).
I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Palestine.
To date, I have not yet been to Australasia or South America. Though I am hoping to visit the latter sometime in 2022, along with a first stop in the Caribbean.
I've travelled to North America just once as a TH-camr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.
So far in 2022 I've taken my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting both Kenya and Tanzania, before making my way to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, starting with Cyprus, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of the divided island.

Not the most vlogged country! Good choice Jason and good one as always 👍
It is not a country, that's why.
It is@@smeth1744
"country"?
Thanks! I've been to South Nicosia many years ago and became a little obsessed with Borders as a result (sketchy hobby I realise). Wouldn't mind doing exactly this adventure so thanks a lot for the upload!
9:35. This is not true: “Turkish Cypriots are descendants of those Turks who “conquered” North Cyprus in 1971. The Turks lived there since the Ottoman Empire time. The Greeks lived there since Byzantine time. Turkish Cypriots lived in the Island long before 1971. Yes, some came from Turkey after 1971, not a lot. Those caused trouble and many were sent back. Turkish Cypriots told me that. They themselves were not happy with that trying to bring more people from Turkey that time. As you obviously know there was a terrible situation in Cyprus before 1971. So many Turkish Cypriots were killed. The innocent civilians. It was like a genocide and that was stopped in 1971. I know the true stories from local Turkish Cypriots who witnessed that nightmare and who were lucky to survive. There are plenty of documentary showing the truth but you didn’t take a trouble to learn any of that.
I am Russian British, nothing personal. I have been to Northern Cyprus many times. I know what Europeans were not told or don’t want to know.
Great video Jason. I am a Chicago Cypriot TH-camr, and I filmed this area many times.
Saw almost none of these places and I've gone around the island a number of times with a motorbike.
For anyone there with a motorbike or car, I suggest the road to the very northeastern tip of the island. There are two islands off the coast, the only I've ever seen in Cyprus, and a lot of interesting things to see on the way, including the Cyprus donkey(the wild animal, not the humans). About 8 years ago the road was in excellent condition until about 2km from the point, after which it was gravel. There was a lot of construction of new houses in the area, so I'm sure it's paved the whole way these days.
Think I recognize the guest house! Is it called something like Cypriot Swallow Boutique? Stayed there about 4 years ago! Remember the walk back along deserted dark streets! So easy to get lost!
nice video Jason - going to Nicosia in a few weeks - very helpful
Amazing! Wish for PEACE for both Turkish and Greek Cypriots! With WAR BOTH GET LOSS! But peace will make both prosper!
Nice honest video about the north mate👍🏻
Thank you Jason for visit our part of cyprus too. Love to watch both side videos. İ am Turkish Cypriot from Famagusta. You should visit kyrenia and famagusta too. There are beautiful places. Historical and for enjoy. Beautiful beaches. And also at Famagusta you and your followers would like to see varosha (ghost town). There is also have amazing story. There were most beautiful and touristic place before the war. And still beautiful and interesting for visit. Would like to show you both ( christian and muslim) culture and religion places too at famagusta area.
I always thought that the Farmagousta beach was filled with land mines. Have these been recovered and the beaches made safe?
@@annaskippings6256 i am 40 years old now and never heard anyone injured or more because of land mines at beach. There is thousands of peope everyday at summer. And yes it is so safety
Very nice video...enjoyed a lot....loved the children interact without hesitation
I crossed the border over a week ago, x 1 night in famagusta, x 1 night in girne, was definately worth the visit as i went on holiday to girne 20 yrs ago when you could fly direct from the UK with a refuel at istanbul, alot had changed
The beautiful universal sound of children laughing and playing bonds us all. Children do not care about these flags and borders that have been put up to limit and bind us. God willing the children will use this power to one day tear down these walls and unite us all.
For this kind of activity, you need Insta 360 GO2.
You are the best dude💪
another great review of my beautiful Country Cyprus .. if possible can you visit my home town Yeşilırmak

Good luck coming back 😄 🤣 😂
So when did Britain poke its nose into this area to help cause the divide?
I liked the kids playing on the street st night
Does most shops and people speak English or is communication a problem?
thanks for staying on topic (Nicosia)
It's weird...looks like the streets are very empty in Northern Cyprus...the marketplace has a bit more activity, but deeper inside streets seem empty.... this is my impression as an outside..never been there but would love to go insha Allah
There was a huge line the day we crossed in October 2018. You were lucky.
Oh interesting!
The interesting thing is Turkey has a higher per capita income than Greece.
Sheftalia is a Greek dish made from pork onion and parsley wrapped in Pana the lining of a sheep’s stomach No marinade.
1960-Menderez plan: Turkey decided the partition of the island of Cyprus and the creation of a free independent Turkish state for Turkish expats.

15:32 Native Turkish Cypriots can get Cypriot passport at the Greek side easily, and some do have both Northern Cypriot and “a proper” Cypriot passports.
The climate is hot, the air temperature is 33 degrees and humid.
I found out from some people some places in north Cyprus do take euros
I am Bangladeshi now Cyprus lives and working
I love North Cyprus
Beautiful country and people.

North Cyprus is occupied by Turkey since 1974 !

My friend. Just to know. There isn't turkish SIDE. There isn't BORDER. There is divided area and check point !
Cyprus is an island . There isn't border. Just divided area since 1974 from turkish army !
Get over it. Whether you like it or not, recognised or not..there IS a border ans there IS a Turkish side, hence you need to show ID..like it or not, facts.
@@tunji6607 It's a chechpoint, not a border. You can get more mad and delusional? It's occupied, not turkish.
@@andreksjour call it what you want. There is a Northern part of the island that speak Turkish, use the Turkish lira, listen to Turkish music and eat Turkish food.
@@tunji6607 It's one island... Cyprus. This is the only fact. Unfortunately turks are a war loving nation. You have to understand that greek cypriots and turkish cypriots are not enemies. Maybe if you study history and not what turks indicate as history, could help. Peace and love
@@mariadrousiotou704 Im just saying it as it is. I have no problems with Greek cypriots and I pass the border. I also have Greek friends in UK.
You cannot ship to North Cyprus except via Turkey which is not surprising
Do Greek Cypriots cross this border often and vice versa?
Helo Jason 🤗🤗
Great video, was here 2 weeks ago I stay in the North now after going to South cyprus for over 15 years , oh and the mosque inside is beautiful unfortunately we didn't get in this time with the work going on. X
Can you cross the other way from North to South Cyprus

I’m a student at the North side, nice vlog 👍
Amazing material Jason. I feel like we might have been in Cyprus at the same time as I was there a month ago. Careful with the info about the Schengen area, which the republic of Cyprus is not a part of. EU yes, Schengen no
Possibly! Glad you liked it. Yeah that was an error - I’ve edited it out.
th-cam.com/video/NsXwNNcOtX8/w-d-xo.html
Correct. It is not a border. It is a cease-fire line. Crossing the line from south to north you enter the area under turkish occupation.
@@phk1959 💯
Unfortunately our side of island needs investment to bring it up to the southern side level.Our population unfortunately has left or immigrated to other countries today the islands population is made of mainland people plus people that turkey doesn’t like .We have lost the most through the Greeks greedy demanding that the whole island becomes a Greek .from a population of 300.000 once to a population of 50.000 today , who is the losers and who is the winners by the way I live in the UK very happily with my family but inside I am so sad of what happened to my country of birth.Like some Greeks we to have lost lands and houses the only winners are the Anatolians who came over with nothing .bought there religion they will never be Cypriot in our eyes they are Alien .Wish we could have peace in Cyprus but I can’t see it happening soon .
North cyprus is so beautiful will be going late this year hopefully
If you make a video about traveling Bangladesh.l will feel very happy. please please ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
The illegally occupied side. You do not say turkish side. The EU law say it's an illegal occupation so do the rest of the world hence why only the terrorist state of turkey recognise it. There is no greek side you are in the Republic of cyprus. Get your facts right

There is no North and South Cyprus. There is only the Republic of Cyprus. North Cyprus is a de facto state that comprises the northeastern portion of the island of Cyprus, which has no universal recognition . The Turkish Army maintains a large force in Northern Cyprus illegally and has occupied that part over the use of violence since 1974.
The Turkish army came to the island in response to a coup plotted by Greeks in order to illegally unite the island with Greece. "The Republic of Cyprus" is a de facto Greek Cypriot state exclusively administered by Greeks who have a history of oppression and violence against Turkish cypriots since 1963. The Turkish army is in present in the TRNC with the full support of the Turkish Cypriot people and act as a deterrent against the Greek Cypriot national guard.
@@senerchatterjee8160 ENOSIS was demanded by the 82% of the island's population. It was their democratic right to demand it. In what country does the minority decide for the majority?
@@seitanAZ and the 20% had the right to demand Taksim and the right to refuse to be ruled by a foreign power who have been put enemies for centuries. You have already achieved your back door Enosis in 2004 by joining the EU, your government rejected peace plans that were back by the EU and the UN. I hope that border stays there permanently to keep out ELAM lovers like yourself out!

Visiting next month, is the border crossing open 24/7?
How sad… :( my mum is Greek Cypriot and was born in Famagusta before the war. I’d show her this video but she’d probably cry to see what’s become of her old home
I wish everyone would just get along - no wars, no invasions, no killing ❤️
Except for the religion most Turks and Greeks have very similar traditions , food, and mannerisms they clld live together peacefully if not for politics
@@marygabirosano7907 yes I think so!!
I am half Turkish Cypriot and this area is old Nicosia. Once you move further in the city is totally modern.

Come on, you can't build you just steal from other nations' churches, towns, and heritage.
It does not matter if you are TC or GC,you are all Cypriots and my wish,from someone who loves that island,is that you Cypriots become part of one country with one nationality and one identity.Cypriot.Get rid of the motherlands and become free.All i have seen there as a tourist in recent years is Turkish,insults,threats and provocations.The TCS are now fully under Turkish control to the point of their leader fixed by Turkey to win their elections.That is not freedom.All Cypriots should get rid of the countries,specially Turkey,that are causing more problems.
@@johnnywires943 well first convince the GC to except one another and to stop hatred and mentality that when they get the chance they will do athnic cleansing like they tried in past in the70s

What a warm welcome 😅 those kids really cracked me up 😂 just out of curiosity, do the non-Turkish people relate this finger thing ? is it like like giving someone the finger in other cultures too ? 🙈
Great vlog btw👍
this finger thing is related to Turkey. So Cypriots do not do that.
Koreans do it too. I saw it in some Korean movies.
Turkey has flooded the north with illegal settlers so those kids are likely born to Turks and not Turkish Cypriots
Yup.... those street urchin kids need to be disciplined by their parents. Very rude of them... but kids will be kids... 😅
SHAME!! As a Turkish Cypriot, I was just ashamed of this video. It truly devastates me to see the state our beautiful Cyprus has fallen into. Cyprus has become a dirty, disorderly place where no Cypriot lives anymore. Turkish Cypriots are being assimilated by Turkish people, as clearly seen in the video, and perhaps in another 20 years, there will be nothing left of our culture and society. SAD
With Out the Turks in the 1970' s your Country wouldnt even exist
Thank you for this video Jason. I have only visited Cyprus once in 1990 and in my ignorance, I wasn't aware that it was now possible to cross the border. You are probably my favourite TH-cam vlogger, your manner, style and thoroughness are impeccable. Thank you so very much
The border opened in 2007 you are not ignorant it used to be more militarised.
@@mariopanago2870 Thank you
It's not called "borders"
It's a buffer zone.
A cease fire line.
You do realize that the North is Illegally occupied by Turkish military force right?
Whenever you go there, the Republic of Cyprus cannot protect you.
Please be informed of the dangers.

WOW! I've always loved your personal signature trademark of youtube travel channel in which you take us viewers on a leisurely walkabout around each local neighbourhood that you happen to be in. It makes me feel like I took a break from my busy afternoon and go walking about with you to enjoy such interesting sights, sounds, smells and other experiences. Thank you, Jason. 😊❤
Very good video, which captures the feel of the real Northern Cyprus beyond the popular tourist attractions.
I enjoyed the ambiance and street vibe, especially in the evening shots you took. I could see myself very relaxed with these people. Wish I could go someday. :)
It’s a different world!
The guy shows little part of nicosia which is old town and mainly gypsies lives there and make it sounds like its all north nicosia or north cyprus is like that.🤣 Turkish Cypriots dont need E.U' s help. Turkiye helps much more than EU which helps to south cyprus .in south nicosia they also have ghettos where some parts are not developed aswell. Westerns have this negative image on turks brainwashed since childhood that they think if you are muslim or turkish you are poor backward and not developed nation .they have no idea how strong turkiye is. also they always try ro put Turkiye same shoes as arap nations. Firstly Turks arent arapa !secondly Turkiye and north Cyprus is secular country.and people live their lives how they want believe or not believe religion and dress how they want . This happened 100 years ago thanks to ATATURK♥️
Your channel is my favorite 👍
I watch your channel for long time 👍
Hi Jason visited a few times back in the day with the UN, not a lot has changed to be honest but believe it or not always enjoyed my times there especially the weather, we dont see much sunshine in Ireland lol.
Typically brilliant and very interesting video again Jason👍🙂 A brilliant snapshot of what it is like in northern Cyprus, looking forward to the next video already 👍
You mentioned the Schengen Zone issue when crossing the border but I thought neither Cyprus nor Turkey is in Shengen Zone. I wonder if the scanning is for that or just control. Perhaps I misheard or you could elaborate.
correct cyp is not in the shenghen one due to issue on the island with turkey
The passport control in the south is CYPRIOT, it is conducted by the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus and Greece has no involvement in it, so it is not Greek as you named it...enough with this casual and lazy misconception that Cyprus is divided by Greece and Turkey. The north is OCCUPIED TERRITORY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS and the south is THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS (AKA INDEPENDENT COUNTRY).
Also, border crossings from the north to south were still possible even after the capture of the north by Turkey. However, the opposite became possible only in 2003 because up to that point Turkey opposed it.
Rums are Greek same thing. And it is not occupation. Cyprus always belongs to Turks. Turks live there for 500 years are you stupid ? You should thought that before you massacared the North in 1974
Thanks for filming both sides, I always wanted to visit ❤️
There is no Northern Cyprus. There is only the occupied part of the Cyprus by the Turks. Be careful when you write something please
Northern Cyprus declared independence and Türkiye is the only country that recognises it.However, Northern Cyprus declared independence just like Kosovo etc.The Turkish soldiers there are only between the borders,it has been years since the occupation ended.Wake up
This was so fascinating to watch. I grew up in the south of Cyprus in the late 80s and all of 90s. It was totally impossible then to just "stroll" through the border as you just did. The divide is clearly more than just geographical. I'm now living in Australia and have only been back once (2019) since I left more than 20yrs ago. Apart from a few additions and minor changes, Nicosia to me looked largely the same as it had back in the 80s, and as you've shown, the 70s, too. Progress is undeniable for both sides, because that is an inevitable part of human existence. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: to prosper in life. I feel that future generations will be the ones to move Cyprus into a new direction of unification, progress and peace.
One thing I wanted to point out, especially about the people of Cyprus as a whole (illustrated by the younger population), that it is such a warm, friendly and safe place in which to live. Thanks so much for sharing!!
😜
I am Turk and I apologize for this child 10:04 sorry
Looks like the border towns on the US Mexico border.
Wonderful video. I've been to Cyprus many times, but never to the north.
th-cam.com/video/NsXwNNcOtX8/w-d-xo.html
The north is more picturesque. What was shown was only a tiny part of North Nicosia. On the north coast where views of the sea and the mountains are wonderful. Have a look at Girne/ Kyrenia. I am sure you will not be disappointed. And it is much cheaper too
Useful video, just booked an Airbnb on Turkish side, was imagining it to be a nightmare crossing the border every day with a non EU British passport, but seems easy.
Where ever the Land conflict between People there is always UK is behind it. Whether its Palestine , Kashmir or Cyprus etc..
Thanks for all the great videos!
Thank you Ed, much appreciated!
Really interesting vlog - what a difference a few metres makes! I wonder how long that Morris Minor on the south side had been there
so funny i know every step of the streets on the Greek side and now at my 30s i saw first time from a youtube video how is the other side..
Its not northern cyprus....its OCCUPIED CYPRUS
As always, well presented and amazing. Thanks so much! One idea from other vlogs….when you get a haircut in another country, video it. The experience has to be interesting!!
Let's accept that there is no state in the north, it is a region under Turkish occupation. That's why the flag of the fake state and the occupying state are waving side by side. So why in the south too? Why is there a Greek flag everywhere in the south? Which independent country has another country's flag everywhere? In reality, there is no such place as the Republic of Cyprus. At most, it is the Greek Republic of Cyprus
TRNC is a lovely friendly part of CYPRUS and the people are honest and kind. It’s a pity that the Cypriot people don’t believe in becoming one country again😢life is too short it’s is what you make it. The towns in the TRNC have high rise flats with modern building and wonderful museums with historical sites, really interesting 🤔. Really worth a visit or a holiday
Brow
You should of knew that the north part of Cyprus is occupied by Turkey since 1974
MILITARY OCCUPATION
The majority of all those are still our stolen lands and properties
PLEASE
We expect from you people to RESPECT that
From the first second of the video you using outrageously provocative words to describe the status of what is happening in Cyprus. Is not just "the turkish side" but is the occupied part of the Republic of Cypus... and is not the "south greek EU part" but is the free part of the Republic of Cyprus. Remake the video its extremely provocative.
Cope
Stop being so whiny, he's just making an interesting video not trying to make a political statement
Don't cry
I visited Northern Cyprus in old Nicosia the other day. People and venders were very friendly. Interesting that the majority of prices were all in euros. When buying most asked if I would pay in euros or dollars. For some military surplus I offered a British five pound note which was accepted and change dispensed in liras.
Those kids omfg i laughed out loud :D

Jason I'm just hooked on your videos lately, its not an ordinary "Travel Chanel" there is so much more capture the nature of a place getting into the details only locals are usally exposed too. Great Vid as always. Please come to a visit in Tel Aviv you are so close by.
Thank you!
Occupied area from 1974 by Turkish troops.
Jason ... Big respect for recognising the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus , your always welcome to our homeland.
Just to celar up a comment , CYorus predate teh EU and the borther has been in existance prior to EU presnece. The reason there is a hard border is becuase the island remianed uunder ceasefire .
One of the best videos of Lefkosa, well- presented and non-judgemental.

I haven't visited since 1974
@@phk1959 I don't think it's your fault, but your knowledge is seriously lacking. A movie (documentary) from 1974 is in the link below. What will you see in the documentary at this link, which was filmed at the time of the events?
th-cam.com/video/a2OBvTpY5lI/w-d-xo.html
Live footage of the coup organized by the Greek junda in Cyprus, Greek soldiers landing in Cyprus, how they opened fire on people, speeches of the President of Cyprus, Makarios, on the subject, in the words of Makarios, how the presidential residence was bombed and he barely escaped death etc..
It was Greece that destroyed the Republic of Cyprus to annex it to Greece. This is very clear. In order to protect the Turks living in Cyprus and to prevent the island from connecting to Greece, Turkey intervened in the island. Moreover, Turkey had the right to be the guarantor from the founding treaty of the Republic of Cyprus. He left one-third of his island to the Turks, and the rest to the Greeks, in a fair division. We're not playing a puzzle game where we're going to try again and again. Cyprus is not a kinder garden. 500 Turkish soldiers lost their lives because of your love of military coup and your dreams of connecting the island to Greece. There are the troubles that the Turkish Cypriots have suffered for years and the massacres perpetrated by the Greek ultra-nationalists. If you want, I can send you the very sad documentary of the Turkish Cypriot mass grave excavations. We don't want to see the same movie called "Brutality in Cyprus" again. It is clear that many of the Greek Cypriots writing on this page are extremely fanatical and have been brought up to be hostile to the Turks. We have to be realistic and a united, peaceful Cyprus with such people is an empty dream. It is a great injustice done to the Turkish Cypriots. Those who destroy the Republic of Cyprus with their ultra-nationalist fanatic ideas want to make the innocent Turkish Cypriots pay for this. This is not fair at all.
@@izmiryldz6995 Hi there. Well, I am not willing to try to prove I am not an elephant. You know, I am a refugee in my own country. Somebody else lives in my home. Should I apologize?
In any case, it is amazing how an educated person like you, allows to be manipulated and brain-washed in such a horrible way. You have sent me a link for a “Documentary”. A film made of “cut & paste” pieces and lots of montage… Turkey is a master of this technic. Please have in mind that in July 1974, I was in Kyrenia. When it comes to Turkey, everybody knows how ruthless State it is. A State built on genocides and stolen lands. I could send to you a number of Documents not just “Documentaries”. Every single element of the Chart of Human Rights has been violated by Turkey in Cyprus and elsewhere. Do you know professor Nihat Erim? The advisor to the Turkish Government on Cyprus. Are you aware of his Reports of 1956/1957 on how Turkey could conquer Cyprus? I am sure you know. To conquer Cyprus with the support of Britain’s Foreign Office (via “Divide & Rule” policies) and of CIA. You refer to Greece. False! You should refer to the Junta, not Greece. Who established the Junta in Athens? Who manipulated the coup in Cyprus (15 July 1974). Turkey’s friends. Who was the target of the coup? Turkey’s opponents. Who have been killed in the coup? Turkey’s enemies. Who were the victims of the coup? The coup’s targets, the VERY SAME victims of the Turkish troops! The innocent people of Cyprus. Let me ask you: there was a coup on the 15 of July (what a coincidence!) of 2016, in Turkey, against the Turkish President! Right? Should another bigger State invade Turkey and kill the innocent and unarmed Turkish citizens? Of course not! Then why in Cyprus the opposite should have happened? Why in Cyprus the answer is “YES”? You also refer to the role of Turkey as a guarantor and its intervention “rights” (Sic!!!). The role of the three guarantors was to protect the constitutional order of the Republic of Cyprus, my friend? Not to kill the population, to torture them, to kick them out of their homes, to extinct their civilization and to bring aliens, Turks from Turkey, in their place. This is invasion, occupation, Turkification! The most horrible war crime.. Talking about “intervention rights” don’t you wonder why in the foundation Agreements for the Republic of Cyprus (“Zurich-London Agreements”) there was a provision for guarantor States? What was the (dirty) “idea” behind this? Do you know any State that has other States as guarantors? The answer is very simple: - The Turkish invasion of Cyprus was planned and literally embodied since the inception of the Zurich-London Agreements. The only obstacle for implementing this plan was the Greek Prime Minister (G. Papandreou) and the Cypriot President (Makarios). CIA got rid of Papandreou and the Junta tried to exterminate Makarios. Today your master Mr Tatar, argues that the whole of Cyprus belongs to Turkey because, he says, in 1573 the Ottoman Martyrs (185.000) sacrificed their lives for conquering Cyprus. You see the “mentality” of your masters. The killer sacrificed his life because he has been killed while he was killing other people. So, he is a Martyr!!! Since 1974 Turkey eyes the Greek Aegean islands. But today there is no Junta in Athens. Let’s see what will follow…

To conquer Cyprus with the support of Britain’s Foreign Office (via “Divide & Rule” policies) and of CIA. You refer to Greece. False! You should refer to the Junta, not Greece. Who established the Junta in Athens? Who manipulated the coup in Cyprus (15 July 1974). Turkey’s friends. Who was the target of the coup? Turkey’s opponents. Who have been killed in the coup? Turkey’s enemies. Who were the victims of the coup? The coup’s targets, the VERY SAME victims of the Turkish troops! The innocent people of Cyprus. Let me ask you: there was a coup on the 15 of July (what a coincidence!) of 2016, in Turkey, against the Turkish President! Right? Should another bigger State invade Turkey and kill the innocent and unarmed Turkish citizens? Of course not! Then why in Cyprus the opposite should have happened? Why in Cyprus the answer is “YES”? You also refer to the role of Turkey as a guarantor and its intervention “rights” (Sic!!!). The role of the three guarantors was to protect the constitutional order of the Republic of Cyprus, my friend? Not to kill the population, to torture them, to kick them out of their homes, to extinct their civilization and to bring aliens, Turks from Turkey, in their place. This is invasion, occupation, Turkification! The most horrible war crime.. Talking about “intervention rights” don’t you wonder why in the foundation Agreements for the Republic of Cyprus (“Zurich-London Agreements”) there was a provision for guarantor States? What was the (dirty) “idea” behind this? Do you know any State that has other States as guarantors? The answer is very simple: - The Turkish invasion of Cyprus was planned and literally embodied since the inception of the Zurich-London Agreements. The only obstacle for implementing this plan was the Greek Prime Minister (G. Papandreou) and the Cypriot President (Makarios). CIA got rid of Papandreou and the Junta tried to exterminate Makarios. Today your master Mr Tatar, argues that the whole of Cyprus belongs to Turkey because, he says, in 1573 the Ottoman Martyrs (185.000) sacrificed their lives for conquering Cyprus. You see the “mentality” of your masters. The killer sacrificed his life because he has been killed while he was killing other people. So, he is a Martyr!!! Since 1974 Turkey eyes the Greek Aegean islands. But today there is no Junta in Athens. Let’s see what will follow…
Jason should have been born in a warmer climate. You can just tell he’s drawn to hotter places and I’d say to those ancient/remote countries/cities retaining some sort of ‘rocky’ and long history too. I might be wrong but that’s just my impression:).
I think you’re in the right ballpark!
@@JasonBillamTravel I loved watching your Italy’s vlogs and through my observations you seemed to have had a great time in Naples out of all the cities you visited which is also the most chaotic one and the city with the most complicated history/situation too.
MANY TOUCH HIM AND ARE MADE WELL!!
When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there. And when they came out of the boat,
immediately the people recognized Him, ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.
Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment.
And as many as touched Him were made well.
Hey calling the occupied area of Cyprus like you do in the title of thic video is beyond probematic for me as someone grew up in Greek side of Nicosia. It is an illegal occupation. Calling it like that because our useless politicans didnt solve the issue doesnt make their illegitimate claims valid. It is the same situation with ukraine . It is so sad no one talks about cyprus as they should on the international media including youtubers. Wouldnt u visit and call the illegal occupaid terretories of Ukraine in 10 years time like that? As "republics?"
FREE CYPRUS IS THE MESSAGE UNDER UN RESOLUTIONS
Well said Marios. In fact this is a much worse case than the case of the Ukraine.
What we should have let the Greeks continue their genocide against the turkish Cypriots........
Similar to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian since decades.
Bravo Mario.
An illegal occupation by a barbarian army.
Free Cyprus
Greek Cypriots seem to suffer from selective memory, they failed to place any blame on the Greek invasion in 1974 and their attempts at ethnically cleansing the island in order to join Greece. The Ukraine conflict bares no similarities to the Cyprus problem. The Ukraine conflict is between two nations, the Cyprus problem involves 2 nations and 2 ethnic communities. The Ukrainian government didn't try to ethnically cleanse the Russians living in Ukraine. The Russians want a change of leadership in the Ukraine and doesn't it want it to have close relations with the EU/Nato. There vast differences between the two conflict, but purely for propaganda purposes the Greek Cypriot lobby likes to draw comparisons in order to gain attention and sympathy. The Greek Cypriots rejected the Annan peace plan which was fully supported by the UN and EU in 2004 and achieve back Enosis by joining the EU. The current Greek Cypriot leadership continues to lie to its people by blaming the failure of the last peace talks on Turkey. The Greek Cypriot objective is and always has been to subjugate the Turkish Cypriot people and turn the island into an exclusive Greek state based on the ideals of Hellenism and Orthodoxy.
15:33 I don't think it is an entrance to the Schengen zone as Cyprus is not a part of Schengen Area
Lots of luxury German cars...
