Nothing could be further from the truth and it should come as no surprise if some other of our EU partners follow the example of Britain and Germany, which is a way of putting pressure on the Greek Cypriot side to engage in substantive negotiations that would produce a settlement by the end of 2008 – this is the new deadline which seems to have been set by the international community. If we agree a settlement by then, nobody would have to worry about the provisions of the strategic partnership. But if there is no settlement by then – irrespective of who is to blame – the upgrading of the pseudo-state and path towards partition would be irreversible.
