This is an extract from a recent cypriot paper which i am sure many forum users read or heard about:


A few days ago, Greek Cypriot Justice Minister Doros Theodoru repeated that the Greek side doesn’t really want the Cyprus issue settled. Under these conditions, they don’t need a solution anyway. Since Greek Cyprus is now a member of the EU, Greek Cypriots can freely express their policy based on obstructionism.


So this is the positive stance of the Tassos goverment and its idea for a solution in cyprus, not wanting one, that is why he is having a hard time showing what he wants changed in the annan plan or coming up with another plan.

To me this shows a total disrespect for all genuine cypriots who want solution and affirms his position as wanting partition or total control of cyprus and will go a long way to show the E.U that Tassos and his goverment are not Europeans in essence but pathetic greek nationalists that work only to serve their own interests.

Or does it???
I'm not opposing what you are saying, brother. Indeed, that's one way of looking at it. But I think it's only fair to explore the other side.
What if we had voted for the A-Plan, and it was implemented, and it did, in fact, prove unworkable, like T-Pap claims with such certainty that it would? I'm sure no one can say for sure that it would, just as I can't say for sure that it wouldn't - although I strongly believe that.
So, where would we be then? In another mess, that would need another 30 years to unmess - that's if we're lucky...?
Maybe he is working for his own kind of 'right' solution because he genuinely believes in it, and not because he's trying to strip TCs of any rights... I can't claim that for sure, man, I hardly believe it myself, but, seeing as how he's the only hope we have (at least for another three years), and also seeing as how we can't get into his head... we can at least hope!

The best solution for GC leadership and maybe majority of GCs also think excatly the same; is a GC state with a TC minority. "Majority Rule". Their biggest dream is to get all of their ancestral lands back, perhaps those ancestral lands which were earlier grabbed by Ottomans, also included in the long run. In order to achieve this national cause, primary objective is to nullify treaty of guarantee and treaty of alliance. This is the solution they want and they consider "fair". This is what they desire for more than a century. Anything less than what they want is "casus belli" for them.

Jimmy the piece relates to present time where he is not interested in solution, the annan plan and referandum are history now and something we will discuss one day when we are old men in the coffee house playing backgammon and doing our usual cypriot stuff.

Brother,

It would help a great deal if you can divulge the source of this article. I have to say that to me it sounds like a load of rubbish. We are not happy with the status quo and we don't want it. We want a solution.

[boulio]

i think the article is from zaman.

[brother]

I saw it in zaman and the cyprus mail if memory doesn't serve wrong, of the average GC i have no doubt you want solution its the leadership i doubt like i have always and always will doubt denktas.

Brother such a statement would be huge headline in every GC or Tc newspaper. The article is wrong. The Minister did not say anything like that.

PS. Is ZAMAN a reliable newspaper?

[brother]

Its as realiable as any other, but if it was the only paper that reported it then i should take my own advice and not believe everything i read in the papers.
