Not snow for the little Christmas people. It’s a marble table top but they seem to be enjoying it.
The president of the TRNC has announced that in future announcements and information from his office will be provided in English as well as Turkish. Not clear what sort of info this will run to but any effort is welcome. Obviously many non-Turkish speakers here don’t have English as their first language, but a great many of them do speak at least some English - the world’s second language. Remember government directives released during the lockdown, some of which were in English of a pretty well incomprehensible nature. Usually an exercise in patience and good humour. Within a day or two a clearer version was achieved.
Suspect the government of pursuing a similar strategy with respect to possible legislation when language is not an issue. Initial announcements followed by public indignation and subsequent revision. Run it up the flag and see who salutes.
