Well said Ertanc. I believe the centre was bought by contributions from the early TC setlers in the UK. Thats part of the argument for wanting control of it. Apparently in its history, there had been times when the building could not be maintained. On the advice of R Denktas it was bequeath to Efkaf on condition that at least part of is used as a meeting place for the TC community in london.
I agree that the income of the building should be used in areas that are in desperate need in Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriot community n the UK needs to free itself from being inward turned and learn to use charities in the UK who are willing to fund initiatives by organisations with charitable status who pledge to use the funding to promote community well being including enabling the children of TC to better achieve in mainstream schools. Charities are expected to commit themselves to principles of equality and remain true to these. The CTCA constitution has not been updated, and refuses to be apolitical, aligning itself with the right wing political parties of the TRNC. There lies the fie line in achieving anything that truly supports community cohesion and progression. The constitution also allows previous chairs, which outnumber committee members to interfere with the decision making of this so called umbrella organisation. This structure in turn nulifies the dynamics for change. Instead of being outward focused they remain forever festering inwards, labelling people who want progress as left wing untouchables. My efforts to gain CTCA charitable status regrettably met with a similar wrath of the unelected dinosaur previous chairs.
I agree unconditionally that the money should be shared out to groups with charitable status which are regulated, devoid of meaningless, extreme nationalism, do work for the good of the community and are apolitical.
