miltiades, I must protest at your assumption that I am not entitled to vote on account of my nationality.

When you retire tonight, have one thing on your mind my old friend:-

You have in the past (and currently) levelled an enormous amount of insult to one of you own countrymen WITHOUT the slightest knowledge of whom you are addressing.

I was about to reveal certain facts to you regarding my family, it suits my purpose better to keep my own counsel at this time.

I am a man who has suffered many vicissitudes in my life and no doubt will face many more, miltiades, you have no right to abuse and insult a person simply because his perceptions of world events are contrary (or different) to your own.

If you wish to engage in a debate, you should be prepared to accept the fact that others may have differing opinions, if they have not, then the whole purpose of debate becomes meaningless and whatever problems existing and under discussion will remain so.

I am about to re-enter Cyprus in the early hours, it is with some trepidation that I will do so as it will be the 13th and I confess that I am something of a tridecaphobic (my ONLY weakness) :lol: :lol:

I fear you may be wasting your time in insulting and lampooning me at every opportunity since my 'education' (which often has to bear the brunt of your verbal assaults) has taught me to 'Suffer Fools Gladly' and I consider it extremely foolish to level insult to a stranger, better you should adopt a similar philosophy for fear that you may overstep the bounds of acceptable behaviour among decent folk.

Still I can wish Good Health and Good Luck to you and your family, you are a man of advancing years and are therefore entitled to a certain amount of respect on account of such.

Best Wishes (from the target of your affront) Eliko. :wink:

Eliko , you have cheated !! The vote calls for G/Cs only , since you told us on many occasions that your family connections are Cuban and Irish , that means you are not a Greek Cypriot !!! Your a Bin Laden and suicide bomber supporter and so is the other one , you the General GR !!

As i've not posted in the political part of this forum before...I ask only one thing...be gental with me! LOL

In all honesty. I'd like to think (and have faith in humanity) that a compramise/agreement can be reached without War. I agree with the fact that we are at war but have a cease fire (i haven't read all the posts by the way). And as such think that it's time for diplomacy. Where did killing get us? People dead and missing. What did we get out of it? A stand still for over 30 years.

As a GC who has no connections to the North part of Cyprus other then to say my people are not allowed to live or sell their lands, I belive that a solution has to be found to get this matter closed. It has taken over too many lives for too long. People need closure now.

I have to vote for Miltiades ...Sorry GR

Hello Chara

Well done for speaking your mind in this imposing ( :lol: ) section.

By closure, do you mean accept the status quo, the situation as it currently stands?

I don't have any definate meaning. But there has to be some kind of final decision. At the moment people are in limbo. Will i get my land back, will i not, will i get other land or money, or nothing.

Not every one will be happy. But what ever dicision is made, it should not be based on power but what is right for PEOPLE not the govt or the majority. But for people in Genral.

At the moment we are all standing in a black hole.

Chara, welcome to the forum. Your points of view are respected and I think you speak for every single GC on this forum. We are in a diplomacy stage at the moment, and either a solution will be found or it will not. I have stated my opinions as to the likelihood of a peace settlement and unfortunately I have a very pessimistic view of the situation in Cyprus.

As with everything however, the diplomacy phase will end or crumble and it is then when other options need to be carefully analysed. These include options which do not involve diplomacy. For Cyprus to not consider all the options at it's disposal is in my opinion very irresponsible and could very well condemn us to permanent partition under the current status quo.

miltiades, I am in despair of your apparent inability to interpet that which you read.

I have never stated that I am of Cuban descent, I have family connections there, I also have family connections in Australia, Ireland and Cyprus.

My family were standing firm in Cyprus when you departed, my Father was from Rizokarpaso and my Mother was from Eire.

I have many reasons to be extremely proud of them both and the bulk of my family connections are resident in Cyprus.

Thank you for addressing me as a cheat, you once again merely emphasize your own ignorance by so doing.

In my humble opinion. Eliko. :wink:

I am currently snatching small opportunities of engagement in the forum, perhaps I will be able to spend a little more time soon (before departure in another month for another spell in the wilderness).

It's a great life !!. :lol:

I agree Paphitis. However, as i said, I want to have faith in Humanity and that we dont' need to look at other options. I belive that a solution CAN be found. Compramises will need to be made on both sides. Not everyone will be 100% happy, i doubt that anyone would be.

If the stuffy suits can't do anything. I say lets put a group of 5 year olds in a room and see what they can come up with....Can't be worse then WAR!!!

The 5 year olds may do better than those stuffy suits!
