Judy no idea what will happen in NC. Government offices need to be approached to ask what their plans are.

The 9 day public holiday is to boost tourism in Turkey and it should also benefit NC as well.

Thomas I sent an email to Yellali the people that gave the information and the reply was it would be the same for TRNC, but someone needs to ask, maybe a Mukhtar in their village. Tried looking for confirmation but cannot find anything as yet.
