THE ‘CHEMISTRY’ that reportedly existed between Demetris Christofias and Mehmet Ali Talat disappeared in the last few days as the two leaders reverted to the sterile tactics of the past that were favoured by their respective predecessors. Despite efforts by the visiting UN Undersecretary-general Lyn Pascoe to resolve the dispute which had caused the adverse chemical reaction, the leaders refused to budge from their publicly-stated positions.

It would be good if this could have been dismissed as a little harmless grandstanding – a case of old habits die hard – but a certain degree of mistrust appeared also to be developing between the two men, which is not a good sign. According to press reports, Christofias insisted that Talat put in writing his commitment to a settlement based on ‘one sovereignty, one nationality’. Talat gave an oral assurance of this commitment to Pascoe, but it was deemed unsatisfactory by Chrisofias, indicating a lack of trust.

This lack of trust seems to be mutual and it was evident in a statement about last week’s UN Security Council resolution on Cyprus issued by the spokesman of the Turkish Cypriot leader yesterday. It accused the Greek Cypriot side of ensuring the omission of parts of the May 23 agreement between Talat and Christofias from the resolution, with the aim of ‘distorting’ the agreement. This move was described as a Greek Cypriot ‘plot’, which illustrated that all is not well between the two sides.

Pascoe said the two sides were trapped in an ‘interpretations game’, which had to be overcome for the start of direct negotiations. Christofias has been taking the line that unless Talat gave his commitment to the ‘one-sovereignty state’ in writing, there would be no point to starting direct negotiations. Talat meanwhile, seems to believe that he has been the victim of a plot and is refusing to give anything in writing; so unhappy was he with the UN resolution that he turned down an invitation to a dinner with Christofias and Pascoe on Tuesday night.

It is true that the leaders are trapped in an ‘interpretations game’, but they have also become prisoners of their domestic rhetoric, neither wanting to be seen to be giving in, after the latest grandstanding. The problem is that the positive climate and the chemistry between the two are now at risk and it would be disastrous if they were wrecked because neither is prepared to budge. Both need to move from their respective positions, if they sincerely want direct talks to begin in September.

Well guess who is the common denominator if things come to a standstill again ...

Yes bloody Turk Talat! ... Anathema to him and his traitorous tribe of Turk-TCs.

Poor Papadopoulos ... this is what he had to put up with and now Christofias is facing more of the same .... Turks'-stupidity and greed.

When will the rest of the world finally see the Turks for what they are ... expansionist, murderous, lawless renegades.

Trust ? Trust ?

The only trust I have for the expansionist Turkish state, who as everyone knows is the real power behind spokesperson Tolot, is to try and legitimise their crap, expansionist Greater Turkey and to keep the spoils of their heinous 74 invasion.

You remind me of Homer Simpson in that episode when his mum paid him a visit and he was doing head stands and other stupid things to attract her attention and shouting... "Look at me... look at me!!!"

Tough love is bitter process, and to get through it both sides have to keep their promises and goals the same. Only then, the one in denial can be able to function in a normal society.
