Dear T-VINE, I don’t remember the last time I went out and bought a newspaper, but today [29 July] I did just that. It was my small way of saying thanks for the article [Don McCullin’s prize photo of Cypriot misused for propaganda, The Times, 29 July 2020], which tells the truth about this picture. […]
Dear T-VINE, I’ve been following the travel advice updates closely and have to say I am really upset with the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus and its policy towards travellers from the United Kingdom. At the beginning of this coronavirus crisis, I and other British Turkish Cypriots and expats applauded the TRNC for taking quick […]
Not many words were shared, but the language of love took over all those years ago in a white house in Elephant and Castle, south London. The road name was Elliotts Row, house No. 32. It was 1986, spring time. My mother Carole Mitchell had come over from Essex with her best friend Corrine. Money […]
Dear T-VINE, In under 24 hours, the UK heads to the polls to select a new government and the choices before us are difficult. As a life-long Labour supporter I have never felt so alienated from the party as now – and I am not alone. Understandably domestic issues, from Brexit to the state of […]
Dear T-VINE, I am a Greek Cypriot citizen living in the Greek Cypriot part of Cyprus (South). I am writing to you because I want relations between Turkey and the Greek Cypriot part of Cyprus to be better. Don’t forget that we are all humans and we must respect each other, to have love for […]

Dear T-VINE, Firstly, I would like to thank T-VINE Magazine for giving us the opportunity to comment on your article regarding the Cypriot Wine Festival & Business Expo (CyWineFest). Parikiaki newspaper is the main organiser […]
Dear T-VINE, In relation to the recent outcry of the treatment of the Windrush Generation from the Caribbean, racist British immigration policy is nothing new! My mother was born British in Cyprus when the island was a colony of the United Kingdom. She decided to move to the UK and arrived with her British Passport […]
Dear T-VINE, This is a long shot – I am looking for someone called Emine Ahmet Hassan who I believe will probably be about 74 years old and from the Turk Cypriot community. Emine was living in London in the 1970s and had three children (two girls and a boy). The eldest girl was born […]
Dear T-VINE, Thank you for this excellent reporting (UK slams new embargo on TRNC air passengers, 20 May 2017). This is indeed a Greek Cypriot inspired, politically motivated and shameful move, coming at a time when Turkish Cypriot President Mustafa Akinci and his team are doing more than they really should at the Cyprus […]
Dear T-VINE, An open letter to His Excellency the Ambassador of the Russian Federation in the United Kingdom, Dr Alexander Vladimirovich Yakovenko. The Turkish community in Britain are deeply shocked and saddened by the news of the assassination of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Turkey, His Excellency Mr Andrei Karlov, in Ankara. We […]
