Both sides must do this...because pain and suffering cannot be calculated in numbers or who has suffered longest....All those who have suffered human rights violations has the right to expect an appology...to have their pain acknowledged....It is the only way forward...if forward is where we want to go...
What's happened to this BirKibrisli?
And what's happened to Talat's apology?
I am not responsible for what Talat does or does not,MP...
I stand by what I said above 3 years ago...I stand by everything I said for all those years...I have done my share of talking about my side's wrongs and appologising...My conscience is clear...Talat can worry about himself,he is a big boy...
But Bir, what you and I say is not important. What matters is what Christofias, Talat, Erdogan and Basbug say.
Christofias did his bit, why are you still harping on about the lack of any reconiliatory attempts when the man that represents us stands alone in this?
Talat is in a very difficult position,DT...He cannot make unilateral statements without Turkey's approval...Christofias is the president of the RoC,an independent and legally recognised entity,albeit illegal and immoral in most TC eyes...You cannot compare their two positions...
Also,the TCs know President X is going through the motions...If he meant what he said he would get up a Truth and Reconciliation commission and try to get to the bottom of all the attrocities his people committed in the past 60 years...They are just politicians playing politics...I wouldn't want to be in Talat's shoes for all the tea in China...
Hi Bir. Surely we must expect one potentially good thing above all else from politicians, and it doesn't matter who they are, or where they are from, or what conditions they operate under, and that's that they should show that they have the
courage of their convictions, in Talat's case by speaking up for those who supported him, by speaking up for those thousands and thousands of tissies who marched and agitated a few years ago and brought an end to the miserable Donktosh approach.
A reminder that we will all have seen some very brave politicians all over the world do this sort of thing, over the years, who have stood up and spoken out against far, far worse and really despotic, military regimes at great risk to life and liberty.
(Don't agree with Truth and Recon Commissions, think a lot of thugs should have their arses dragged before the usual and proper courts.)
