You claim someone has writtain under your name. Although this may well be true. You have used it as a perfect excuse to divert the attention to that area rather than to actually counter my post.
Sony lutfen bizim aramizda soruncikartma kardes. Esmer abinin soylediklerinde hak var, cunku:
"Ey inananlar! Yahudi ve hýristiyanlarý dost edinmeyin. Onlar birbirlerinin dostlarýdýrlar. Sizden kim onlarý dost edinirse kuþkusuz o da onlardandýr. Þüphesiz Allah zalimler topluluðunu doðruya iletmez"
Kur'an i Kerim, Sure Maide (5:51)
Well Zan, I believe your Turkish Cypriot friend here has confirmed my argument that Turkish national zeal and Islam have produced this rather strong and yet perilous "fusion" which defines Turkish/Turkish Cypriot identity today, somehow bypassing Kemalist secularism, and gleaning from it only the ethnic zeal of "Turkishness", then giving it an Islamic flavor so as to make it more palatable for neighboring countries that are predominantly Muslim, and eliciting empathy and support from them as well. Here he is quoting the Prophet (Muhammed) where he advises good "believers" or "inanlar" (Muslims) not to befriend Christians and Jews. But this also defines how Turkish Cypriots expect to negotiate with us "Gavur" Greeks, always reminding us that we owe them tribute for being "dhimmi", if not just for being non-Turks. Who can argue with the Prophet's "sura" though! It is good enough to justify the destruction of Orthodox churches and monasteries, as well as vandalizing them and selling them to American art dealers (remember the case of Peg Goldman vs. the Church of Cyprus)? If not here's a reminder:

Both sides in the Cyprus problem campaign actively in the international arena to make their case. Nothing wrong with that. Since the EU accession there is a lot more than just campaigning inorder to make a good impression, the EU attitude will have a substantive effect on the final shape of a solution in terms of how much of the European legal order will be incorporated in the Cypriot constitution. So you campaign overseas to turn things in your favor in a legitimate campaign.
As for your question "who you talk to", well who do we talk to? Can Mr Talat enter into any agreement re the Turkish army and its future status on the island? Can he order the army to stand down from the cease fire line? Can he deliver Famagusta back to its inhabitants? According to the daily reviews of the Turkish Cypriot press that I read he cannot. Remember that statement by mr Erdogan after the Swiss meeting (cant recal the name of the town, was it Burgenstock?). He said we got what we wanted without returning an inch of territory.... which shows who is in command. So who do we talk to? Talat does not have the power to bind Turkey and Turkey will not talk to Cyprus because it does not recognise it.
