«Forgiveness of sins "to settlers who have a burdensome criminal record, in order for them to acquire" citizenship "of the pseudo-state, provides a bill that was submitted to the T / C parliament and published in the official newspaper of the occupiers.
This crucial issue was brought to the surface by the Turkish newspaper "Havantis", which in its article entitled "A dangerous step", points out that the specific law was proposed to the "Parliament" by the independent MP Mentes Gunduz. Gunduz seems to have argued that deleting the criminal record, regardless of the nature of the crime, would make it easier for foreigners with work permits, ie settlers, to obtain permanent residence or permission to start a business.
The law in question, according to Havadis, does not include those who have been sentenced to heavy sentences.
Some opposition T / C parties and various NGOs, as the report states, are strongly protesting the increased citizenship rate of the "TRNC" and claim that such a development would contribute to the further increase of the population in the occupied territories.
