Would you like me to refresh your memory (and that of GR)? What was the message that was written in bold, capital letters at the bottom of his picture?
"I VOUTCH TO SOLVE THE CYPRUS PROBLEM ON THE BASIS OF THE ANNAN PLAN"
Was he telling us a lie at the time too? Does this man think he can lie to the whole world and get away with it? Remove the blinkers Piratis (and GR). It is about time you see the real world once again!
Papadopoulos is destroying our island. Another five years of Papadopoulos and his fascist minded, thick-headed supporters (Koulias, Pittokopitis, Angelides, Koutsou, Rikkos etc) and there will be only ashes left.
What I remember is that Papadopoulos said that Annan plan would be the
basis for negotiations and
NOT the "basis for a solution" as his opponents wanted. Maybe you are the one whose memory gone bad.
And Annan plan
was the basis of negotiations when Papadopoulos took over, until negotiations ended because the AngloAmericans were rushing to finish off RoC before we entered the EU, and Annan "filled in the gabs" all in favor of Turkey. Then that one sided partition plan was brought to the Cypriot people, who obviously rejected it once and for all.
So don't try to tell us that
we that voted for Papadopoulos and we will vote for him again voted for him because we wanted the Annan plan. Those that wanted the Annan plan
did not vote for Papadopoulos, and this is crystal clear. On the
contrary Cleredes was promising that he would not accept the Annan plan either unless significant changes that would satisfy our side were made. Or did you forget about that?
Papadopoulos, never promised to anybody that we would accept whatever is given to us either. That would be a betrayal, that maybe other did, but not Papadopoulos.
