Was in not GC here who said that TC should not judge TP sincerity re a solution until he had had a chance to proove himself in negotiations, despite his long personal history and involvment in the Cyprus problem to date?
Kind of ironic then for GC to be 'slating' Talat for his sincerity re a solution when he has no such personal history.
The fact is Talat is the best option for an agreed settlement. His stance has clearly been pro solution (but not solution at any cost) and not independance and that is an improvment. Also he (currently) has the political support of the people of the north necessary to broker a solution. GC should actually welcome this just as I would welcome almost anyone other than TP on the GC side (clerides or someone without any history in the events of the past or even anyone who had not publicaly denied that any TC were killed by a GC from 63 onwards!).
