I refer you to AKEL and Christofias who listed them the day after the referendum. I have already said that I agree with these changes proposed by Christofias. You can search and find them, you are more than capable of doing this.
Makrides was very revealing in a newspaper interview today. He said that the Greek Cypriot people did not vote on the Annan Plan but on a twisted plan presented by Papadopoulos.
No Bananiot, unfortunately for you, neither Akel listed any proposed changes after the referendum, nor you know what this changes are; for you would have listed them here if you did -since anyway they are "some few" such ones according to Christofias’ rhetoric of the time! You neither know them, nor you know what you are talking about, nor does Halil!
Regardless of the fact that you tried to avoid touching my post and the questions I raised, I must tell you that if this is going to be the policy of Akel visa vie the solution of the Cyprus problem, i.e. to bring back the Annan plan with "some, few and small changes," I see Christofias coming 3rd -just right above Themistokleous!
Besides the fact that the Annan plan is already dead by default, and this not because of our fault but because of the attitude of the Anglo-Americans and their satellites who rushed to brand and advertise it as a "balanced" one; we now have a new basis on which the solution will have to be worked out, the "8th of July" agreement, which does not even make a commemorating remark on the Annan plan!
Those that forced Papadopoulos’ hand in killing the Annan plan, as a basis for a solution, are those mentioned above, for their ridiculous insistence that if any one of the two sides wishes to initiate any (whatever) changes to it, there must be a “trade off” to the other side, so that the “balance” will be “maintained!” I say rubbish, for after they have given almost everything to the Turkish /TC side, there is nothing left for us to trade at the negotiating table; for no one wants to be in a situation in which to have to ask to be given back a little bit more of his already mutilated legs, in exchange of allowing some more to be cut from his equally mutilated arms!
