Jennifer Lopez and Turkish Republic Of Northern Cyprus

By Tolga Cakir

Most of us remember the Jennifer Lopez called off a controversial birthday show in the north of Cyprus, provoking celebrations by Greek Cypriots and condemnations from Turkish Cypriots. Greek Cypriot online campaign pushed Jennifer Lopez to cancel her performance at a hotel in Northern Republic of Turkish Cyprus.

The Cyprus issue is crystal clear; Turkey intervened to the Cyprus at 1974 after Eoka terrorism took so many innocent lives of Turks and British people.

If Jennifer Lopez and her team were kind enough to make a little bit of research, they would certainly understand the severity of the mistakes they have made. Moreover recent BBC records that were published may have helped Jennifer Lopez and her team to understand this important matter.This is a matter of human rights.

We are calling Jennifer Lopez and her team to act

We are calling them to act now

We are calling them to take the side of good

For this London may be the right place, where many Turkish Cypriots live. Jennifer Lopez and her team can celebrate an important event with the Turkish Cypriot Community in London to show the world that they are not involved in politics and they support human rights.

After Canceling Concert, Lopez Faces Possible Suit

A hotel in Cyprus said it might sue Jennifer Lopez, below, after the singer withdrew from a scheduled concert for fear that it would be construed as making a political statement, Agence France-Presse reported. Ms. Lopez was to perform at the Cratos Premium hotel and casino complex in Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus on July 24, an event that Greek Cypriots have said would further polarize the country, which has been divided since the 1970s and whose northern region is recognized only by Turkey. Ms. Lopez’s representatives said last week that she would not perform the concert, citing “sensitivity to the political realities of the region.” But Murat Bozoglu, chief executive of the company that runs Cratos Premium, told Agence France-Presse that Ms. Lopez’s contract for the show had not been canceled. “If she does not show up for the concert, we will begin a procedure in the courts to claim $35 to $40 million in damages,” Mr. Bozoglu said.
