In North Cyprus You may think Aga Buyers Action Group a JOKE, and my lovely husband of 43 years maybe a joke to you

 

 

Gladrag’s posting on Aga Buyers Board:-

 

Gosh Harry, do you think ABC have immediate & direct access to the TRNC Finance Minister (or equivalant)?

🙂

We seem to struggle on the basics with regard to getting any sort of firm & genuine information from the TRNC government as it is, although it would be nice to think some monies would come our way, but what about all the other AGA sites besides Amaranta, not to mention all th other building calamities that have befallen North Cyprus – will £200m be enough to cover the completion of all these projuects? (might need of of his loan to pay of Aga Buyers Action Group -only Joking)

I can’t really see any of this money being utilised for Amaranta, unless some sort of firm and genuine commitment is made by prospective investors to  that the TRNC government does not end up like ourselves, with millions invested with nothing to show for it.

Mr Gladrag, (Shaun)

 

Aga Buyers Action Group (Three Women) don’t need anywhere near Two Hundred Million, (Joking or not) all they need is One Hundred and Fifty Thousand, exactly what they have paid in, no more, no less.   Shaun, I lost my husband in February, and I want every penny of the money he worked for and paid to Aga (Gary Robb) and the TRNC Government back.

 

 I don’t know what this new Government will come up with, and personally speaking I don’t care, all Aga Sites matter, and each and every person on those sites matter.

 

You may think Aga Buyers Action Group a JOKE, and my lovely husband of 43 years maybe a joke to you, but everyone who stole his money will either return it or suffer the consequence for what they have done, just like Mr Robb will suffer the consequence’s of his past crime’s, including the crime he inflicted on my family, 

 

I no longer care if any of the money is utilised for Amaranta, except for the victims who kept on paying another 1.3 million, with nothing to show, including accounts.

 

My little plot on the ledge at Amaranta will stay there forever, complete with my PTP, and my stamp duty DULY paid, sadly Les will NEVER enjoy that ledge in this world, and neither will his Grandchildren he and I wanted it for.

 

GARY ROBB, AGA AND ALL DIRECTORS, UNWINS, THE TRNC OFFICES IN LONDON, AND THE TRNC GOVERNMENT PAST AND PRESENT  MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, NOT JUST TO ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT TO ALL VICTIMS!!

 

Shaun, whether you like it or not, whether you stand up to be counted or not, whether you are too frightened to rock the boat or not, like many Aga Victims, Robb, and Directors along with the Unwins, The TRNC Offices in London, and the NEW Government in the TRNC, must answer for their crimes against honest victims who I think were just very vulnerable, It’s not Macho to vulnerable is it???

 

I hope after your operation, you are now well, and coping with your future, remember ABAG maybe a joke to some, but it’s survival to other Aga Victims.

Wouldn’t it be awful (NOT) if a group involved with North Cyprus along with the help of their MEP’s started the same sort of action and prevented the 400 Million Euros being transferred to the TRNC until property problems like Deeds, PTP’s and other issues are solved !!!!!!!!

 

Perhaps we need to start the same sort of action NOW

Buyer chooses off-plan property, pays 50,000 sterling 1^st payment. Receives all paperwork (contracts etc). Told to apply for PTP (Permission to Purchase) Told by Lawyer (There are NO SOLICITORS IN North Cyprus) that PTP will take 1.5 – 2 years to come through. You pay all your stage payments for your property – some totalling 150,000+ and then after 2 years you have your Permission To Purchase Refused – What happens then

In North Cyprus ABAG answers questions regarding the FOC Offer to ABC

 

 

As we are banned from posting as ABAG (*See Email below we can only join as individuals) on the TRNC-AGA-BUYERS Private BB, we will have to use our blog in order to answer any questions that AGA victims may have regarding our offer of a free of charge independent audit of the ABC accounts by an ACCA approved company. This audit will result in a set of bone-fide accounts approved by all EU & also more importantly UK authorities, i.e. HMRC

 

1.  Sorry, as one of the 97 who continued to pay throughout 2008, I fail to understand where ABAG fit into the current situation. If the majority of the 97 wish for the accounts to be audited, then we will decide that, I neither require nor wish for ABAG to represent me in the future.

 

I am as disappointed as everyone that I don’t have ‘my place in the sun’, but ABAG’s postings are generally unhelpful, misguided and at times mischievous. Perhaps their daily blog helps to get things off their chests and we all feel we have an axe to grind, but, their tactic of mud throwing does little or nothing in the search for a solution.

 

We have never acted on behalf of anyone but the three of us, nor do we intend to in the future. We will carry on our fight as we have done in the past until a solution is found. We are however simply offering a free of charge independent audit of the ABC accounts by an ACCA approved company. These accounts would remain totally confidential and be sent free of charge by UK 1^st class post to each and every member of the 97 involved

 

2. I find it unbelievable that you would question the integrity of ABC, they are the only people who still stand any chance whatsoever of salvaging something from this mess, they have faught tirelessly no matter which situation they have found themeselves in, most of us that live here recognise that attacking the TRNC Government here will achieve nothing appart from the liquidation of AGA assets ( and that would leave us poor saps with nothing ) ABC have full accounts of the past year available for anyone who wishes to see them in person . But why would you question there integrity, if you do then I suggest you come and see for yourself, then maybe you will stop throwing mud for whatever reason you have. ABC please recognise that it is the usual minority in this group that question you, the silent majority back you to the hilt, please continue trying to get us our homes/ money back. And once again thankyou

 

ABAG are not questioning anyone’s integrity, just offering a service that ABC may find useful and less time consuming  and will enable all that signed the 97 to see the accounts in a professional format, some of the 97 cannot travel to the TRNC to see them and some may need to present them to the HMRC here in the UK for their 2008/09 Tax returns, therefore there is nothing underhand in our offer nor are questioning integrities – As Marian said we should all pull together therefore we are offering assistance

Subject: The board and re-conciliation

Dear Sandra, Sue and Pat,

First of all may we say how sorry we were to hear about Les, and yes life is too short.

We have no objection in you joining the bulletin board as individuals and signing your posts with your name but not as ABAG.

Please do not copy and post from the board to your blog, members have joined up to a private bulletin board, that should mean they can post and discuss without it being in the public domain, by copying postings (I know you remove the name) you undermine the security of the board.

We want the same as you, justice for ALL AGA Buyers, we just approach it in different ways and try not to alienate anyone, you never know just who might be the saviour in all this.

Larry has never been in the “pocket” of Gary Robb and myself, Shaun and Larry have never lied and the board is not to be used for personal attacks on anyone.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts in due course.

Larry and Di

 

In North Cyprus ABAG offer to assist the Amaranta Buyers Committee

 

 

 

Finally after 1 year and 50 days the Amaranta Buyers Committee have released what could be loosely referred to as accounts, which consist solely of ‘Ins’ and ‘Outs’ from the escrow account held by them on behalf of the 97 victims who signed the 2008 Protocols.

 

These ‘accounts’ have been released as the Amaranta Buyers Committee because – and we quote from the posting:-

 

“We have been coming under increasing and more vociferous pressure from some individuals to provide accounts for the receipts and expenditures from the Escrow Account including recent threats of legal proceedings and complaints to the police.”

 

This is hardly surprising as they have been less than forthcoming in answering questions posed to them by those Protocol Signing Victims – and their inability/refusal to answer these was leading to mounting suspicion from ALL quarters.

 

According to these ‘accounts’ there was £1.3 million (approx) paid in to the two bank accounts (can’t see any interest listed), and £1.25 million (approx) paid out, leaving a small balance in the escrow account

 

The ‘ Accounts ‘  as posted can be seen below. We have erased the actual figures as they have no bearing on where we are taking this

 

 

£…A….. Turk Bank Receipts 18 Jan 08 – 28 Feb 08

£….B…. Coop Bank Receipts 28 Feb 08 – 30 Mar 09

£….C…. Total Receipts

£….D…. Total Expenditure Including Bank Charges (£………) and ABC Expenses (£……….)

£….E….. Balance

£….E….. Current Bank Balance As at 30 Mar 09

 

£….F….. Outstanding Payments From Buyers Still Due To Be Paid In

 

 

Let’s take the figure ‘paid out’ or expenditure as it has been referred to, which was approx £1.25 million. Okay so it was paid out, question is to whom and for what

 

We ask the Amaranta Buyers Committee comprising of: Ron Hugo, Des Deans, Brian Godfrey & Josh Acfield here on the blog (we cannot post on the TRNC-AGA-BUYERS BB) the following questions

 

1. How much money (approx will do) was paid to the AGA Director Kutsel Tokatlioglu in his capacity of an Architect, we ask this because according to the last accounts,  between 2 Jan 08 and 14 April 08 this AGA Director was paid a total of £23,000 in 3 instalments of £10,000, £5,000 & £8,000. How much more was he paid ?
2. How much was paid  (approx will do) to the lawyer of AGA Development/Gary Robb, Zeki Gunduz. we ask this because according to the last accounts,  between 2 Jan 08 and 14 April 08 this AGA lawyer was paid a total of £6,000 when he was in fact the lawyer for the vendor, surely this should be paid by the vendor and not the purchasers How much more was he paid ?
3. How much money (approx will do) was paid to the Planning Dept in the name of Necdet Numan,  we ask this because according to the last accounts,  between 2 Jan 08 and 14 April 08 this person was paid a total of £30,000 in 2 instalments of £15,000,. How much more was he/they paid ?
4. Were any monies paid to Gary Robb or any other AGA Director for  so called expenses (hot topic )
5. How much in total, to whom and for what were monies pertaining to Materials has been paid ?

 

 

These are only a few of some very important questions that need immediate answers to ensure total transparency or as we said earlier, lack of the latter will lead to suspicion spreading throughout all ranks of AGA victims and may also spread further. These are also only questions that should have been answered long ago by the committee.

 

Further quote by ABC

 

 “ we will be more than happy to share them with any of you who have paid money into the Escrow Account should you wish or are planning to come to the TRNC to review them with us as it would be impractical to provide duplicate copies of the hundreds of pages involved “

 

Can we be so bold as to point out the following:- 

 

You would not need to provide duplicate copies of hundreds of pages  to those who asked if you were simply to involve a bona-fide UK registered Chartered Accountant.  The Chartered Accountant would then on your behalf have to provide by law a documented set of accounts. Just give all you have  (in a carrier bag if necessary) ,receipts and bank account statements etc., to a company preferably registered with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. (ACCA) and they will do the rest.

 

This  would then leave you all as the Amaranta Buyers Committee free from any,  as you say and we quote,   “ inference of these demands appears to be that we have been in some way underhand or even dishonest in our dealings with the monies from the Escrow Account “

 

Again this is such a simple solution, but as usual it will probably be ignored. We are only offering friendly advice, but think that the majority of AGA Victims would agree with us when we urge you to seriously consider this idea if you as the committee wish to avoid any further stress. After all what you have provided to date could easily have been written by a five year old and carry no weight with the law.or more importantly HMRC !

 

Now your next question to us – we can hear it now:-

 

“ Why would HMRC be interested ?”

 

Well many protocol signers that paid over the year 2008 may have to prove as to where that have got and then sent certain large amounts of money.

 

In order to do this they themselves when submitting their Tax Returns will need proof of expenditure  in order to avoid any tax Investigations/charges that may or may not occur. Therefore the implications of not providing  bona-fide accounts for such large amounts of money can spread far and wide.

 

Even those named on the bank accounts where monies were deposited may find themselves in need of proof as to why they were responsible for large sums of money and where these large sums actually went. The only way to overcome this is with a bone-fide set of accounts

 

It has been said on many occasions , most recently at the United AGA Buyers Meeting by Marian Stokes that the past should be put behind us. We as ABAG have access to a company of Chartered Accountants who are registered with ACCA and have been in business for in excess of 15 years, 

 

In order to assist you as ABC and all AGA victims we are offering to provide free of charge a full set of Accounts on your behalf audited by an independant company which will be seen as legal in all EU Counties and satisfy all the doubting Thomas’.  With recent events occuring in the UK with regards to our own MP’s expenses and accounts what have you to lose ?

 

Transparency is the only way forward

 

Over To You ABC

IN NORTH CYPRUS PERHAPS THE AMARANTA BUYERS COMMITTEE’S TIME WOULD BE BETTER SPENT

PERHAPS THE AMARANTA BUYERS COMMITTEE’S TIME  WOULD BE BETTER SPENT SEARCHING FOR THE MISSING £1.3 MILLION ALLEGEDLY GIVEN TO AGA DEVELOPMENT VIA THEM AND THE BANK ACCOUNT ON WHICH THEY ARE NAMED THROUGHOUT 2008 !

 

PAT

 

1 Year & 49 Days – since the self-appointed Amaranta Buyers Committee comprising of Ronald Hugo, Brian Godfrey, Desmond Deans & Josh Acfield gave any details where the majority of the £1.3 million sent by Aga victims to them was spent. To date and the ABC committee still refuse to discuss the issue or even provide a report. 

Turkish Cypriot authorities deported Gary Robb from north Cyprus and put him on a flight to the UK via Turkey. This was their independent decision, on which

 

If the criminal who was deported to the UK from North Cyprus is still wanting to sue the Turkish Government for 50 million Euros, seeing as he has lots of time on his hands at the moment he may like to aquaint himself with Foreign Office Question Time in the UK Parliamentt (occurs lunchtime on a Tuesday and can bee seen on Sky channel 504 !)

 

 

 

 

Northern Cyprus

Questions – June 2nd 2009

Asked by Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (allegedly has North Cyprus Property   !)

 

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many suspected criminals have been returned from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to the United Kingdom since 1 January 2008; and whether those have been as a result of formal requests to the TRNC authorities or of informal police or other activity, or from Turkish Cypriot good will. [HL3646]

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Lord Malloch-Brown): There has been one case of which we are aware. In January 2009, the Turkish Cypriot authorities deported Gary Robb from north Cyprus and put him on a flight to the UK via Turkey. This was their independent decision, on which we are not qualified to comment. However, we applaud the determination of the Turkish Cypriots to ensure that the northern part of the island is not a haven for fugitives from justice.

 

 

Asked by Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (allegedly has North Cyprus Property   !)

 

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has refused any formal request by the United Kingdom to co-operate in policing or other anti-criminal activity since 1974. [HL3647]

Lord Malloch-Brown: As we do not recognise the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, there is no mutual legal assistance treaty in place. Therefore, no formal request for assistance has ever been made.

2 Jun 2009 : Column WA77

However, in the interests of justice, we maintain close contact with the Turkish Cypriots on organised crime issues.

 

 

Asked by Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (allegedly has North Cyprus Property   !)

 

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have a formal relationship with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in respect of anti-criminal and anti-terrorist operations. [HL3648]

Lord Malloch-Brown: The UK does not recognise the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. No formal relationship therefore exists in respect of anti-criminal and anti-terrorist operations. However, the UK maintains a constructive dialogue with Turkish Cypriots on many issues of immediate concern. We welcome their recent efforts to combat international organised crime, including the adoption of stronger anti-money laundering controls. We also welcome the recently launched bi-communal sub-committee on crime and criminal matters, which provides a mechanism for the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities to exchange information on this important issue.

‘Close down the brothels in the north’
By Simon Bahceli

TWO of the most influential women in Turkish Cypriot public life yesterday called for brothels in the north to be closed down, saying they were nothing more than centres for human trafficking.

Oya Talat, wife of Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, and Emine Erk, the north’s foremost human rights lawyer, were speaking at a conference on human trafficking held at the north’s Near East University (NEU). The conference was backed by the US Embassy, the British High Commission and the Turkish Cypriot Human Rights Foundation (KTIHV), headed by Erk.

“Work has to start to close these places down, and it needs to be done with urgency,” Talat told the conference yesterday.

 

 

 Phew, we sure have opened a can of worms with this blog – we have now revceived another document from a blog reader – released originally from the US Embassy in Nicosia

 

 

 

Entitled; Women Trafficking In The Turkish Cypriot Community

 

http://nicosia.usembassy.gov/USpolicy/TC-TIP_Mar08.pdf

 

 

 

In North Cyprus There are however a couple of glaring omissions’ from this latest report

 

 

These are snippets from the Amaranta Buyers Committee Latest Report – we have not published it all as most of it is a copy of what they were publishing every week last year.!

 

Here we see lots of discussion between the committee and AGA Robb about borrowing money in the form of loans etc……………

 

 

“After last weeks news that Gary Robb’s Kimlik card had been ordered to be reinstated by the High Court Judges we discussed with Aga how she saw the way ahead regarding Gary’s agreement to what we are trying to do in getting a loan to initially pay off refunds and to complete the whole valley. She said that they were happy to see the loan pursued using the unsold and refunded houses as collateral when clean title to those houses has been established or can be established once the loan is forthcoming. Aga wanted it cleared up as to their liability for the loan. She is very nervous about taking on such a large loan and wanted to know a lot more details. That is to say what the terms of the repayment, the interest rates, the period of the loan etc would be and if the properties would be marketed by the Bank(s) to reclaim the loan, that is to say would they simply take the houses to discharge the loan or would they expect the properties to be marketed by AGA and the loan repaid from the proceeds of those sales”

 

“. These are issues that we are not involved in ourselves as we, the Committee nor the Buyers, are party to the loan and we have clearly established that the houses of those going ahead will not be a part of the collateral and once refunds etc have been paid then none of the buyers will have a first party interest in those that are offered to the bank(s). Obviously, we would like to know the details of how the draw down on the loan will be made, the checks that the bank(s) will put in place to control the build and the time for the completion for our own satisfaction and we will remain party to the ongoing discussions”

 

“ We spoke to Ahmet about the impediments on the site, once again making it clear that unless the money is made available to clear all refunds up front then these cannot and will not be lifted to facilitate the loan.”  – How right they are !!!!!

 

 

“ We spoke about…………… who is the UK broker who will be coming to Cyprus for the purpose of putting together the proposal for the bank(s) in order to obtain the loan. We emphasised that full disclosure of all the facts and figures pertaining to Amaranta Valley must be made to …….. before he is asked to come over as expenses will be incurred and there is no point in him coming over here and suddenly getting information that will make the whole matter a waste of time and money.”

 

 

There are however a couple of glaring omissions’ from this latest report

 

1. What happened to the proceeds of the Protocol between Gary Robb & Tahir Soycan to facilitate the sale of the AGA Machinery dated 22.1.08 (see protocols at top of blog)
2. What happened to the proceeds of the Protocol between Gary Robb & Tahir Soycan to facilitate the sale of the listed land dated 22.1.08  (see protocols at top of blog)
3. And most importantly the whereabouts of the £1.3 million that AGA Development received via the Amaranta Buyers Committee throughout 2008 from the AGA Victims that signed the AGA Development Protocol

North Cyprus became a centre for human trafficking

 

Tourist Industry Failing ?

Construction Industry Failing ?

Scam Idea’s Drying Up ?

Cash Cows No Longer Playing Ball

Why not try North Cyprus’ Alleged Latest Idea

 

[03] North Cyprus became a centre for human trafficking

Under the above title Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (29.05.09) reports that the United Cyprus Party (BKP) evaluated the statements made in a daily newspaper by Kivanc Aktug who was sentenced for human trafficking, that North Cyprus was turned into a centre of human trafficking and stressed that these allegations are correct. The United Cyprus Party stated also that the human trafficking in the occupied areas is organized with the governments hand.

In his written statements Mr Abdullah Korkmazhan, member of the Central Executive Committee of the United Cyprus Party (BKP) stressed the need for an in-depth investigation of the allegations of Kivanc Aktug that President Mehmet Ali Talat was aware of the human trafficking and called on Mr Talat to make a statement on the issue.

Mr Korkmazhan went on and added that the ferry services organized to and from Lattakia did not bring tourists to the country but illegal immigrants and added that nobody has the right to keep alive this shame. Mr Kormazhan stated also that the country is being transformed into a human trafficking centre, a paradise of fugitives and criminals and the centre for every kind of illegal activities
