I can tell you now that any relations the tc's have with oman while the island is still partitioned will be limited to a cup of coffee.

Halil,

What I post are news from reliable and respected news organizations and their views on the Cyprus situation and are not the views of the RoC only, but the whole island and it's citizens. When you post "news from the trnc side" as you put it, it often lacks a lot of the standards used by International News organizations in accountability and accuracy.

I don't want to sound like GR, but can you please, please, please include the link to any of your news related postings on this thread. I do it every time with my postings, so there is no reason why you can't do the same. It is only polite to do so, or else I will consider such postings as "untrustworthy".

Thanking you in advance.

Halil,

The only reason for not wanting in providing a link Halil, is if you intend to change the words around from the original story or leave certain sections out and only post the parts you want us to see, which has been done few times in the past by some members. So, do what you like, but also don't be surprised if we just make a blanket rejection of such posts as being unreliable, untrustworthy, distorted, manipulated and "molested".!!!

Rival Greek, Turkish Cypriot leaders set July 1 date to review peace process


NICOSIA, Cyprus: The leaders of Cyprus' rival Greek and Turkish communities will meet July 1 to review progress in a new drive to reunify the divided island, a senior U.N. official said Friday.

Taye-Brook Zerihoun said Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat will meet to prepare for full-fledged direct negotiations. No date has been set for the later talks.

"What is important here is that the process remains engaged and on track," Zerihoun told a news conference. "The momentum of the process has not slowed."

Zerihoun is the U.N. secretary-general's special representative to Cyprus.

Cyprus has been divided into a Greek Cypriot south and a breakaway Turkish Cypriot north since 1974, when Turkey invaded after a failed coup aimed to unite the island with Greece.

Christofias, a Greek Cypriot, and Talat agreed in March to end a four-year stalemate after Greek Cypriots rejected a U.N. reunification blueprint in a referendum. Turkish Cypriots accepted the plan in the April 2004 vote.

The two leaders agreed to start face-to-face negotiations after a three-month preparation period. Working groups of experts from both communities are meeting to narrow the gaps on day-to-day issues, as well as thorny subjects including property, security and governance.

Zerihoun said some working groups have made more progress than others, but the talks have so far produced "tangible results."

Senior aides for both leaders unveiled a series of agreements on health, environmental, road safety and education projects as proof of progress.

You forgeting that i am working at media corporation and these news are coming out from Cyprus .I don't need link .

No Halil, I have not forgotten that you work for a media company. A true unbiased and objective news media person should only report or support facts and not politicize the facts and the news. This is where credibility of that person rests.

Yes there is a differences the way we gave the news like presidents titles... etc....etc .... this is our position . .

That is precisely why you are not able to compete as a reliable news organization with other Internationally recognise news organizations, because they have earned their reputation for reporting facts and not politicize it just to please the regime in power. This is what Free Press is all about, this is what Free Speech is all about and this is what True Democracy is all about. If you lack any of the above components when reporting news, then one does not get facts, they get "shit".

Kikapu ,
titles are not important in the content of the news .

it is not politicize kikapu , difference is both sides does not recognize each other regimes .
as a TC's we didn't elected roc president how can we call him for president of roc . we elected our president .
you can say he is not recognised by international communities it does not make any difference for me .

e.g by looking below writing people are not interesting with titles . ok some forum members does not like it the way we wrote . but rest of the world does not care . lots of well known writers also says Greek part of the Cyprus or Turkish Part of the Cyprus .what happened .people are cares only what is the content of the news .

The two leaders in Cyprus will meet on the 1st of July to evaluate the progress achieved so far by working groups and technical committees established to prepare the ground for fully-fledged negotiations between the two sides.

[halil]

do i have to write all the time the way they writes. As below . no i will not .
we past that stage long time ago .

Cyprus has remained divided since 1974 when Turkey militarily intervened and occupied the north of the island following a coup by a group of Greek officers.

In 1983, the Turkish Cypriot authorities declared breakaway and set up the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," which is recognized only by Turkey.

Kikapu here is the international news for you .

Cyprus unveils measures to facilitate life of two communities
www.chinaview.cn 2008-06-21 05:53:04
NICOSIA, June 20 (Xinhua) -- The representatives of Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities announced on Friday a series of measures designed to facilitate their daily life and improve ties.

At a joint press conference in the UN-controlled buffer zone, senior aides to Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders unveiled six agreements the two sides have achieved.

The agreements covers educational programs, road safety, emergency health treatment and environment protection. They were worked out in the past two months by experts from the two sides.

Taye-Brook Zerihoun, the UN scretary-general's special representative in Cyprus, said these measures would help ease the daily life of Cypriots on the island.

"We believe additional measures could be announced in the coming days," he added.

He noted that the agreements proved the momentum of the peace process had not slowed, "in fact it's producing tangible results."

Six working groups and seven technical committees were set up in April comprising of 150 Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot experts. They have been assigned to prepare the ground for substantive negotiations between their leaders, who will meet again on July 1 to assess the work.

Cyprus has remained divided since 1974 when Turkey militarily intervened and occupied the north of the island following a coup by a group of Greek officers.

In 1983, the Turkish Cypriot authorities declared breakaway and set up the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," which is recognized only by Turkey.

Although the two communities have agreed in principal on a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation formula, big differences still remain on key issues such as power sharing, property and sovereignty.
