Andreas Simou Angelides, a DIKO strongman and one of Papadopoulos's men, said today that Christofias accepted all the Turkish conditions in order to get Ledra to open. This statement followed Papadopoulos's son claim that Christofias gave "earth and water" to the Turks.
Hopefully it is now more evident as to why Christofias came back to Cyprus before setting foot in the UK, because two Turkish Cypriot (pseudo) policemen strayed into the buffer zone on the same day the gate opened.
