Ugh :( So annoying that something that's supposed to be your right is handed down like charity.
-
Well, Cyprus and Turkey are at war and he was travelling on a British passport... they had no idea he had any rights to being in TRNC...
-
so it's complex. My parents couldn't even phone him when he lived in Ankara because they aren't connected.
-
So I'm not sure he had any real legal rights in that situation... he would have been deported back to the UK instead of home... probably.
-
I see. It's sad. Glad they let him pass then.
-
Yeah, he couldn't actually say: "I'm also a citizen of the Republic of Cyprus" so he kept repeating "my mum is waiting" it's kind of sweet
-
all round him and them in a way that they finally let him go to his mum.

I could actually cry right now but I'm at work and won't indulge myself.
