The lines above have been taken from the general statement made on May 23rd following the Mehmet Ali Talat-Demetris Christofias meeting.
The above paragraph is utter rubbish! If Niyazi Kizilyurek wrote the above thing, then he rightfully disserves the title of the “master of distortion and disinformation!” No where in the joined communiqué between Christofias and Talat of 21st of May does it say that they agreed on BBF that will be based on a partnership between two co-founding states! This is utter nonsense, product of wishful thinking and distortion!
This is what the joined communiqué of the two leaders actually says:
``They reaffirmed their commitment for a bizonal bicommunal federation with political equality, as defined by relevant Security Council resolutions. This partnership will have a federal government with a single international personality, as well as a Turkish Cypriot constituent state and a Greek Cypriot constituent state which will be of equal status,``
Now, compare this with what Kizilyurek wrote after distorting it, in a very unskillful way I may add!
When doing so, do keep in mind that the two have been meeting and negotiating for years now as the leaders of the two communities, the GC and the TC ones, as it is also stipulated in all the UN SC resolutions calling upon them to reach a political settlement, and not as the leaders or presidents of any two separate states “existing” in Cyprus! Therefore, when the two are referring to a partnership, it is only a partnership between the two communities, as they were defined and emerged in the 1960 agreements and RoC constitution, because that is the capacity under which they both recognize each other and do negotiate! The federal State and government of Cyprus, as well as the two constituent states, are all by-products of this partnership between the two leaders (i.e. by-products of the existing partnership between the two communities, since 1960,) and not the other way around! Anyone knowing just a little bit of English will tell you that you cannot possibly interpret the above sentence in the communiqué to mean that the partnership itself and the federal government or state, are by-products of the an agreement between the two constituent states, set aside one between any two "co-founding" states!
