Water - Common necessity... or a weapon?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Water - Common necessity... or a weapon?

Postby utu » Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:20 am

I read an article on the internet today about the water shortage problems plaquing Cyprus. It made me recall another article I had read some months ago in that Turkey had announced a project to lay underwater fresh water pipes from Turkey to the north of the island, so that Turkey would provide their area of the island with all the water necessary. If this project is realized, and that as a result the north is awash in water while the south faces acute water shortages, what is that going to do to the political equation? Of course, Turkey controlling the tap could also be used as a means to keep the north in line...

Project aim is bring the water for all part of the island . Also from Cyprus to İsreal.This is the correction for your information.

By “their area of the island" I suppose you mean the area of Cyprus which they illegally occupy! If so, why do you choose not to call is as such, and instead you call it "their" area of the island? Can you please enlighten us?

NO state exist. If it was a state there was going to be recognised by the whole planet. That a joke ... a bad one!

Yes still kicking...people out of their homes. And people to prison until they die.

What exactly is normal for you...is it normal to walk outside your house and see army all over? What is normal for you VP??

What keeps you isolated is Turkey! And yes you are right...they are unEuropeans!! Finally we agree on something!
