Papadopoulous and the Turkish Cypriots

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Papadopoulous and the Turkish Cypriots

Postby utu » Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:53 am

One thing I have been wondering: Tassos Papadopoulous is internationally regarded as the President of Cyprus, thus with that logic, he also represents the Turkish Cypriots. So, in that capacity as President of Cyprus, has he ever directly reached out to the Turkish Cypriot people? Near the end of the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln reached out to the Confederate States promising "malice towards none, charity for all". Has Tassos Papadopoulous said anything similar to his countrymen north of the Green Line?

VP, if it is the moustache, then I have to remind you that a male having a moustache to stress their manhood is mainly a Turkish thing! Just look around you, in Cyprus and in Turkey! Of course, in many occasions, moustache may also serve as the "veil" of a "homosexual!"

How about this as an example. Right from his speech about the Annan plan.


Addressing myself to our Turkish Cypriot compatriots, I would like to underline our genuine concern for a solution that would serve their interests too. I have never sought to undermine or deprive their rights. The proposals I tabled at the talks and the measures for their support I announced about a year ago, constitute tangible proof of this. My stance emanates from my sincere conviction that the respect of their dignity and their rights, the granting of even more rights so that they may feel greater security, the recognition of their equality, their equal progress and prosperity are fundamental prerequisites for peace and normality in Cyprus. This is why they would constitute the fixed target of our policy. We do not have any objection, on the contrary we support Turkey’s aspirations to be given an early date for the start of accession negotiations. For, a Turkey that would be in the process of accession talks would be under continuous pressure, including pressure from our side- to prove that it behaves in accordance with the European acquis and the principles of the European Union.

We are always ready for the transformation of the present state to a federation that would be ruled by democratic principles and full respect for human rights.

A guarantee for the sincerity of these orientations is our integration into the political system and principles of law of the European Union. This guarantee covers with credibility Turkish Cypriots and Turkey’s security needs.

What I ask our Turkish Cypriot compatriots to understand is that as much I do not accept their own rights and interests to be trampled upon, I have at the same time the duty to defend the rights and interests of Greek Cypriots.

Turkish Cypriot People will continue its active campaigns towards providing a solution to the Cyprus problem on the basis of political equality and lifting the international isolation on it.
The Greek Cypriot Administration can give diplomatic notes but these will not be enough to change the Turkish Cypriot people’s demands for political equality and vision for solution.
