"Vandals target North Cyprus billboards
By Pete Sherlock
Enfield's large Turkish Cypriot community has spoken of its outrage after posters advertising North Cyprus as a tourist destination were defaced with offensive graffitti.
A number of posters erected by the North Cyprus tourist board were ripped off walls or defaced in roads along Green Lanes and the North Circular Road, last week.
Vandals scrawled Until the Turks came along' under a picture of a sandy beach with the slogan: North Cyprus, a sanctuary of unspoiled beauty', on one poster in Lyndhurst Road, just across the Haringey border.
Aydin Halil, of Green Lanes, Palmers Green, said: 'When I saw what had been done I was really angered and I think it is really disappointing that we can't stand up for ourselves. The people who did this are very bitter people.'"
