Deamon, the Annan plan was rejected (and rightfully so)
Yes I can see that, every day passing is getting better and better. Now your great leader will bring you a European solution.
because it was an arrangement based on a text full of constructive ambiguities, which would allow the Turks to rightfully claim later on that it was a form of partnership -not between the two communities as they are defined and understood within the 1960 constitution; but instead a partnership between two “legitimately pre-existing” separate territorial entities (states,) with their own separate people (nations!) The fact that the settlers, who are not part of the TC community as such but only so-called citizens of the “TRNC,” were allowed to vote in the referendum as constituent members on behalf of one of the two sides (the TC one,) is the most sticking evidence to the above claim!
There was only one nation like in every federation.
When and after what evolvement they could claim that you say?
After a misunderstanding?
It could not lead to a dead end.
After a war?
They were about to take from the 3 the larger.
The plan did not giving them any chances for secession and this is the main reason that Dektash and Papadopoulos did not want the plan and that’s why they made all this secret meetings. Because there ware not a way out of the plan.
I do not know if the settlers were allowed to vote but if they did it’s more possible that the most of them were voting no for many reasons.
The Turks did not wait too long to reveal their intentions as to how they would have interpreted the new state of affairs that would have been established by our own signature, via the Annan plan. Already, a week before the April 2004 referendums -and this only upon the insistence of Papadopoulos, they made public the TC “Constituent State’s” constitution. Right from the start (preamble and article 1 of this text,) it becomes evident where the Turks were coming from! Read it and you will understand what I am talking about. In a nutshell, Annan plan, in a disguised and stealthy way and by virtue of “virgin birth,” introduced the notion that the new state of affairs that will emerge, will be one of a partnership between two already legitimately existing entities, with their own territories and people (nation-states,) and not one between the two communities of Cyprus as they are recognised under the 1960 agreements! In other words, a vindication of all the since 1974 (otherwise illegal and /or illegitimate) Turkish "fait accomplices!"
To answer on that bring me some parts of their constitution that lead to what you are saying.
Of course there is not logic in something like that like I’ve said above.
Now, if you personally have no problem with this idea (which Papadopoulos rightfully identified as one deepening and institutionalising partition –since the institutionalised splitting of the Cypriot people into two communities in 1960 now deepens further and becomes an institutionalised splitting into two separate “nation-states” -to become partners;) 76% of the GC society does have a problem!
The problem with the Annan plan was its very philosophy, more than with anything else!
And the 76% vote for your reasons, for Piratis reasons, or for Akel reasons?
There was not such a case but let’s suppose what it was, do you think what after one or two decades they will not accomplish a much worst situation (even from an agreed division that no one have the guts to ask for) ?
Like I’ve said in the other topic, politics is about choosing the bud from the worst. TPap choose the worst and he had a chance to point his worries about the plan (let’s forget his bullshits in the crying speech) and he tried to bury the plan in the whole and take the Cyprus problem in 0 situation where Turkey also have taken the Cyprus passport for their accession in EU and there is nothing to negotiate with and now only if the foreigners want but mostly can there is some chances to solve the problem that is in the worst days after the invasion.
If you truly believe what Papadopoulos know what he is doing is your problem and you should vote him if you believe what the isolation he cause can lead anywhere. If you want to give some hope to Cyprus you have two options: 1) Run for president I can ensure you what you are more capable and you want a solution and you care for your country more than your self and your divine thoughts. 2) Vote your partner Christofias because in the today situation even a communist can have better results in Europe than TPap.
