Talat is hated by the TC nationalists because he wants unification......You have no better friend than he.......The tricks that Tpap wanted to play with the July agreement played into the hands of the nationalists and an open ended discussion was not something that he could allow.....Tpap is gone and if he has no finger in the pie then maybe a time scale can be put on this and an agreement reached.....Tpap wanted the siege to go on and it clearly cannot be allowed to.
Zan firstly I doubt that Talat wants unification I find the man to be dishonest in his dealing and personally would not trust him on anything. He has been quoted in various papers mainly Turkish press to be threatening partition more than once, his decision to allow people to light a flag to remind those who have lost country and persons who rules the Island is dispicabe act.
Papdopoulos is gone so lets see what he'll do.
Zan I notice you get stuck in the past, like I said wh are you and Talat going to blame now???
Dear humanist,
As Kafenes has already pointed out Talat is only reading a script given to him by Ankara...He cannot do anything else...The TCs are totally cornered,and they feel they have nowhere else to turn to but Turkey...So everything will depend on the approach the new President will take towards the TCs...Although we all know the decisions are made in Ankara,proper political decorum(of Turkey) dictates that Talat is not humiliated in any way. The new President must play the game of taking Talat seriously if we are to get anywhere...And who knows if Talat is taken seriously he might even be able to influence Turkish policy on Cyprus in some small way...
Kibrisli gardaş,

ERCAKICA: TURKISH CYPRIOT SIDE COMMITTED TO ESTABLISHING PARTNERSHIP STATE ON THE BASIS OF POLITICAL EQUALITY OF THE TWO SIDES
The Presidential Spokesperson Hasan Ercakica has reiterated the Turkish Cypriot Side’s commitment to work towards the establishment of a new partnership state based on the political equality of the two peoples and the equal status of two constituent states.
The Presidential spokesman evaluated the results of the first round of President Elections on the Greek Cypriot Side as well as Kosovo’s declaration of independence during his weekly press briefing today.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Ercakica said that the results of Sunday’s first round of ‘Presidential elections’ in the South indicated that the Greek Cypriot people were concerned by the consequences of rejecting the Annan Plan and had thus desired the election a new leader whose policies will be supported by the international community.
The Presidential spokesman expressed the hope that the stance adopted by the Greek Cypriot people will contribute to breaking the current deadlock in efforts aimed at finding a solution.
Stressing that the Turkish Cypriot Side will continue to work towards establishing a new partnership state based on the political equality of the two peoples and the equal status of two constituent states, Mr. Ercakica said that the Turkish Cypriot Side was committed to making the best out of all opportunities to that end.
Also touching upon the issue of Kosovo, the Presidential spokesperson said that there were important lessons to derive from the process which led to Kosovo’s independence.
“The most important lesson to be learnt from the Kosovo issue is that no people can be forced or compelled to live under the authority of another nation” he said, adding that this was why the Turkish Cypriot Side was going to continue to work towards finding a mutually acceptable solution to the Cyprus Problem.
Responding to questions as to whether the TRNC was considering to diplomatically recognize the breakaway state, Mr. Ercakica said that there was no such preparation to do so at this point in time.
below one is what the opposition party UBP says
TRNC SHOULD TAKE HISTORIC DECISION TO RECOGNIZE KOSOVO
The main opposition National Unity has called on the TRNC officials to take a historic decision by recognizing the breakaway state of Kosovo.
A UBP statement said that Kosovo’s declaration of independence could have an important impact on the Cyprus Issue.
Evaluating Kosovo’s declaration of independence, the National Unity Party issued a written statement in which it reminded that the Turkish Cypriot people had proclaimed the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus on the 15th of November 1983 following a similar struggle waged by the people of Kosovo.
Pointing out that no country, for the exception of Turkey, recognized the TRNC as an independent state due to ongoing injustices and double standards, the UBP statement said that these injustices did not deter the UBP from its determination to achieve freedom and independence for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
“The difficulties we face on the path to achieving this should not be an obstacle in the way of unconditionally recognizing Kovoso” the statement read.
