But, they did not have the minimum diplomatic instinct to think about the possibilities of blackmail by foreign agents.

Cyprus is not a superpower Nikitas and what you write reminds me strongly of the mosquito and elephant joke. Did I heard you, asked the mosquito when the elephant cried out loud after a coconut hit it on the head.

Besides, if Papadopoulos is blackmailed because he asked for the services of a black woman (did he also ask for a red Indian?) he would be more than glad to allow the story to see the light of the day. In Cyprus we appreciate the erotic acts of our leaders, especially when they prove the disbelievers wrong. Greece is like this too. Old Andreas Papandreou saw his ratings climb sky high when he dumped his wife for his younger lover.

Don't leave your readers in suspense Bananiot.!!

Actually, I remember this joke with the Mouse and the Elephant.

Mr. Mouse tells Miss Elephant one day just how much he would like to have sex with her, so the elephant just to amuse the mouse said, "Go ahead, have your way with me", so as Mr. Mouse is working his little tail off, huffing and puffing, a limb breaks off a tree and hits the elephant on the head which she makes a screaming sound, in which the mouse says, "Suffer baby suffer". :lol:

What shocked me most about the incident is not that our policiticians used the services of a prostitute. Human nature being what it is these things happen.

Don't they have wives to fuck, your politicians?

there is an element of thruth in the original post. both sides are in denial and living in cuckoo land. Turkey is certainly positioning itself in taking over the island and the Turkish Cypriots are gonna miss out or move to the south to save their race. far as am concerned Cyprus past presnet and future are the loosers.

DEAL WITH IT TOGETHER

Big fallacy! Turkey cannot take the north any more than she already has Humanist except maybe make an international announcement of annexation and that would actually be a BLESSING for us but she is not that stupid unfortunately…

Hurrah!!!!A good post at last. Bravo

One thing I'd like to ask first how many troops does the Greek-Cypriot side have , I don't think it is less than 40000.

When it comes to the bit about the politicians. Who brings the politicians to power over their?

Welcome to the forum Umit07......They have an entire nation waiting for us mate.....

The “TRNC” is the cuckoo land as its citizens haven’t yet realized that Turkey already runs it and cannot possibly take control any further than she already has since her invasion/occupation of Cyprus.

Those "concerned" Turkish Cypriots that don't want to be extinct might want to voice their concerns to their foolish leaders instead of sitting around harboring Turkey and pointing their finger at the RoC!

You're defining a puppet state, GR. Yet, you refer to 'its citizens'. That is implying a seperate country. Which is it?

[cymart]

I can sympathise with why 'professor' gets fed-up with most of us on this forum to some extent because basically we are all re-cycling more or less the same arguments from different angles and cannot do anything to change the situation!
It's also interesting that nobody will ever answer the question of why the authorities will not stop issuing 'artistes' visas which will in turn effectively close down the so-called 'cabarets'.......??
Just a few other observations:I cannot believe Turkey intends to take the rest of Cyprus as they could have easily done it in 1974 but on the other hand they are not prepared to give up their strategic interests here either and will insist on having a military prescence here in some way,albeit a small force in a base somewhere as part of an overall solution.I'm sure most Greek-Cypriots realise that this is far better than having 40.000 of them spread across the island as they have been for over 30 years and could come to terms with this as long as there are effective International guarantees which help everyone to feel safe!
To finish with for now,I will re-iterate what I have tried to say before and that is that time creates fait accomplis'Let's be perfectly frank and admit that many people here have got used to the status-quo and especially with the political leadership banging on that this is better than risking a solution that might not work,you can understand how this mentality is being cultivated as well as the bitter irony that vested financial and political interests have developed since the islands division who see any change to it as a threat to their position etc!Paphos is a very good example of how true this is-very few people which I speak to here say they consider that finding a solution to the Cyprus problem is important to them as they have 'got used to it' after so many years and quite a few think they are doing well with the way things are so why change them??
Despite our sunshine and nice food and wine etc. this is unfortunately still a very conservative and backward looking society where corruption is rife and hypocrisy and self-interest are the main priorities of most people.Change is viewed suspiciously,especially by those who have power and influence.This applies to many small countries of course but here we have the added complications and effects of the political problem to contend with.
Without pointing the finger again,I see little prospect of any improvement while the present leadership with its regressive attitudes remain in power and that sadly applies to many aspects of life here in Cyprus.

[Piratis]

cymart, what the "artistes" or the how conservative Cypriots are have to do with anything?

The fact mate is simple: The British and the Turks used and continue to use the minority of TCs as an excuse to deny to the Cypriot people our self-determination so they can divide our island among themselves.

Solution means one thing: Democracy, human rights for all, free liberated Cyprus.

When did Greek Cypriots denied any solution?? Never. What we rejected and we will continue to reject is a foreign made (again) change in the status quo that not only will not solve anything but will make things even worst. As simple as that.

You accuse others of acting in a wrong way, and you don't see that the sole reason that you have such an interest in this issue, since you are not a Cypriot and you don't care about Cyprus, is just one thing: money. So it is very hypocritical of you to come here and try to teach us what is best for our own island.
