I have not yet heard a balanced debate from you about the Cyprus problem. By this I mean that the Cyprus problem exists only between two leaderships. I think the people are well and trully over it and have shown in the past three years that they are. Sure there have been three or four incidence of racist behaviour two more serious than other. However in the scheme of things considering the current situation are not that big of a deal. They probably have more race related crimes in the UK not to mention US with no political problems. I am sure that there are slurs of similar kind in the north. Grey Wolves = Golden Dawn (mind you they put to shame both words). Papadopoulos has been an less than proactive in the Cyprus Problem over tha past years as has Talat in the last two motnhs by his childish behaviour of not wanting to meet. I don't believe neither of them has what it takes to solve the Cyprus Problem. This is what I consider a balance argument. You on the other hand go back to the 60's and beyond everytime. A place where we have been for the past 33 years.
As far as you questioning the RoC I believ e you do very little of this, and if you spent more time on questioning the RoC may be you will spend less time talking about the past that we cannot change. I would encourage anyone to question the present governments actions and stance, in relation to unification. What a dead priest 33 years ago although a mjor and significant part of where we are today will not change the fact that the RoC has been in the EU for three / four years and the Turkish Cypriots are missing out. This is not fair. We need to be working towards a solution that willbring that part of the Cypriot population to the same level as the rest. Question, challenge and present soem ideas to the current government about how do we do this how do we reach a point where all Cypriots are equal, safe and share a comon country in a common union.
If the dog bites your leg and you place a mussel on it..do you feel when you take it off it will not bite again or wait for a moment when you are weak to take revenge? Would you take precautions and safeguards to ensure you are not biten ever again?
