News from Northern Cyprus
GREEK CYPRIOT SIDE AIMS TO CARRY CYPRUS PROBLEM TO 2009 BY SLOWING DOWN PROCESS
President Mehmet Ali Talat has said that the Greek Cypriot Administration was continuing to drag its feet on the Cyprus negotiations process in an attempt to carry the Cyprus Problem to 2009.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the start of the 2008-2009 academic year at the Middle East Technical University’s Cyprus Campus, the President underlined the need for the Turkish Cypriot Side to show the international community, mainly the European Union and the United Nations, how the Greek Cypriot Side was trying to slow down the talks.
“The Turkish Cypriot Side needs to overcome this obstacle. If it can’t then it must reveal to the European Union and the United Nations, the Greek Cypriot Side’s true intentions” he said.
Reminding that the Greek Cypriot Administration’s traditional policies were based on using the title of the so-called ‘Republic of Cyprus’ to isolate the Turkish Cypriot people from the rest of the world, the President warned that ongoing negotiations process was filled with difficult challenges.
Pointing out that a settlement to be found on the island will be the beginning of a new era in Cyprus, Talat said that the Turkish Cypriot people will experience a rapid economic and social growth under a new partnership based on political equality.
The President also underlined the important role universities in North Cyprus will play in achieving a lasting solution in Cyprus. |

That old game! Watch TC (Turkey's) tactics here...
They desperately want to set deadlines so that, when they refuse to compromise on the Turkish military red lines, we can end up with some numpty from the US or UK 'filling in the gaps' to suit Turkey's interests.
Far more than reunification, it seems they would rather persue this tactic in order to reattempt recognition of their pseudostate. |

I think you should be more worried about your tactics.....The world has had enough of them and knows them back to front......It will not be allowed for ever whilst you jostle for position. |

| Exactly which delaying tactic is being alleged here? The talks are proceeding along mutually agreed time schedules, no postponements have been requested by either side. So where is the delay? The only time schedule likely to be presented is by EU as has been hinted by Ollie Rehn regarding EU aquis in the north in the event of a solution. The idea is that the north will get three years to align with the EU aquis. |
