Oil ?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

And one more question:

Do you think the average Cypriot will get rich from the oil?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...

It is amazing for someone like Turkey, to have absolutely no legal and moral standing on her claims, and yet to behave in the way it does! It must be the definition of "ultimate audacity!"

I do not know what is in the head of Turkey (probably they do not know themselves either,) but judging by they way they speak and react on this issue; I see them soon finding themselves in a very awkward position.

Because they are the bullying vulchers of the Mediteranian and they know they can get away with it.

SHAME Britain and EU for supporting these barbarians.

Hey, Zan say

"Hurray for Hellenism..... "

Plain and simple. It was worth sticking around for, even though it cost a second glass of vino. :lol:

Presidential Spokesperson Hasan Erçakıca has underlined the need to find an urgent solution to the Cyprus problem in order to make use of the oil resources, which are said to exist in the Eastern Mediterranean, for the benefit of the people in the whole region.

The spokesperson said the Greek Cypriot Administration’s decision to start oil and gas exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean on the 16th of August has led to the initiation of counter measures.

The spokesman warned that tensions in the region could escalate as from next week as the Greek Cypriot Administration is expected to intensify its efforts on the issue.

Halil what do you think he means by for the benefit of all people in the region"? Cyprus Oil and Gas should benefit Lebanese, Israelis, Syrians Greeks and Turks?

On another note I am glad that the he has said there is a need for a solution now. It can't be that simple but it sounds a lot like " If you boys are gonna dig for gold, we're comin' as well."

I would have thought that people in the region would be TCs, who would clearly be denied any benefit under the ongoing negotiations to find a solution.

TCs are co-occupants owners of the island and were/are recognised as equal political partners by the original RoC constitution, by the UN and the EU - albeit not as a separate TRNC. That being the case, as current protector of TC rights in the region, Turkey does have the "audacity" and the balls to make a point! Why don't the RoC government make a declaration and say "x% of revenue generated from the foreign drilling companies in the area will be handed over to TCs as their share!". Then Turkey will have no excuse to interfere with anything! Remember this is not something GCs are producing or RoC is manufacturing - it is a natural resource belonging to the island and hence to all its inhabitants!

For 33 years GCs as the recognised RoC members in the area have benefited from all the international trade, economic aids, tourism etc. Now they want to carry on as a single beneficiary with an important revenue from oil (if it exists) by ignoring the co-occupants of the island. I do not think anyone asked TCs what they think.

If people are sincere in accepting TCs as co-owner, co-occupier Cypriots on the island (as reiterated buy many GCs in this forum), and are seeking a federal solution that would justify a single Republic - then I do not see how they can now say "GCs have the the divine right and TCs have no rights in the natural resources existing in the waters around the island". If that is the case, I would say FUCK any agreements or a Federation and lets stop all this shit-chat about finding a solution, for there will be none with all this hypocrisy going on!

yeah i agree with you lets start immediately with a STOP of all sales of land to foreigners...lets stop exploitation of lands to foreigners...lets start recognising the original deeds...what do you think?...this will go a long way while seeking a federal solution that would justify a single Republic...sounds like a good initiative to me...i don't know about you but am all for it...

well if thats not the case then I am afraid, you have to refer to the highlighed part of your post...with the exception, things will stay the same for one and further progress for the other...and thats the sad truth...

and about commenting about turkey, can i ask who the hell died and who the hell put you in charge to tel me what I can and can't post...failing to tell me who, you can then proceed to the fuck you window...are we clear on this?

ps about turkey and the kurds i will provide info just to show that clearly you are talking crap...the kurds are 15-20 million strong and concetrated in the south east...we and everyone will see...and as i said before, by 2025, they will reach 50% 0f Turkey...I bet this scares the be-jesus out of you, doesn't it?...the wheels are in motion :lol:
