People can read the facts and division was the result not the cause, the cause was enosis and the GC support for this idiotic dream.

Im not even going to bother arguing this with you. Your 'facts' that you believe are fabricated stories made up by the Turkish propaganda machine. The one that makes the stories up about all its enemies from surrounding countries. Carry on believe the lies you moron, the island of Cyprus will be unified again soon but when it is, there will be even less Turkish Cypriots than before because of people like yourself. Thanks : )

The Chief of Turkish General Staff General Yasar Buyukanit has said that Turkey is in favor of a just and lasting solution in Cyprus and added that the Turkish Cypriots should be very careful while negotiating a settlement.

General Buyukanit’s comments came at a reception given in Ankara last night to mark the 1st of August Communal Resistance Day.
Answering reporters’ questions concerning the negotiations process in Cyprus, the General said it is too early to make an evaluation but stressed the need to be very careful when negotiating a settlement.

‘Personally, I have some concerns. Off course, Turkey wants a solution but as we always say, a solution should be a just and lasting one. Especially, the Turkish Cypriots should pay attention to this. Peace can be achieved but it may not be a just and lasting one’ the General said.

Stating that the existence of Turkish Armed Forces in Cyprus is for the security of the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots, General Buyukanit said it should be well understood that the island has been enjoying peace since 1974 thanks to the Turkish Armed Forces.

Pointing to verbal attacks against the existence of Turkish Armed Forces on the island, Turkey’s top General said that the Forces are in Cyprus in line with Turkey’s rights stemming from international agreements.

A military ceremony has been held for Dervis Mehmet – whose remains were found by the Committee of Missing Persons during excavations in South Cyprus.

In an address at the ceremony, Dervis Mehmet’s daughter - Professor Doctor Lema Tavli explained that her father left their home in the mixed village of Matyat on the 22nd of December 1963 after an attack on the village by fans of EOKA and took shelter in the Turkish town Koccat.

She said that her father left the village for Lefkosa a day after but never returned.

She added that he was recorded as missing in spite of the fact that he was known to have been killed by Greek Cypriots.

Pointing out that the remains of her father were found in a well in the Strovolos neighborhood in South Cyprus, she said this is a proof of those dark days in 1963.

The Leader of the Democrat Party Serdar Denktas has called on President Mehmet Ali Talat to insist on the principle of sovereignty which separately derives from the two peoples of Cyprus.

Mr Denktas held a press briefing today to evaluate the recent developments concerning the Cyprus issue where he also touched upon the earlier resignations of DP MPs from the Parliament.

Referring to the issue of single sovereignty, the DP Leader said the establishment of a state with single sovereignty is in a unitary structure, claiming that this structure envisages the maintenance of the Republic of Cyprus established in 1960.

On the issue of bi-zonality, Denktas claimed that the EU Acquis Communaitre in fact envisages the formation of a Greek Cypriot administration in the South of the island on the basis of the Greek Cypriot majority while in the North, it envisages the establishment of a Turkish Cypriot administration which will be integrated in structure.

‘Establishing such a structure under the EU rules will backspace the rights of Turkish Cypriots within 15 years’ Denktas said.

Explaining that the phrase of ‘Turkey’s effective and active guarantee’ is replaced by ‘Turkey’s effective guarantee’ nowadays, the DP Leader stressed that this issue can no way be diluted.

He called for unity and solidarity among all sides.

Regarding the resignations of DP MPs from the Parliament earlier, Mr Denktas complained that the calls made by these MPs have not been replied to and called on the Speaker of the Parliament Fatma Ekenoglu to put the petition presented by DP MPs to vote at the Parliament

Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer has announced that talks will be launched on 14 new chapters for harmonization with the European Union.

The Premier said that talks on 12 chapters which have been continuing since the beginning of the year, would be completed in August.

Speaking at a press conference today, Mr Soyer said that the harmonization talks should be completed before a solution is found to the Cyprus problem.

Pointing to the importance of making the necessary cultural, legal, economic and social regulations before a settlement, he said all these preparations should be made in order to maintain the Turkish Cypriot Side’s position as an equal partner after a solution.

Why? we have all been sleeping safely for 34 years, you should thank the Turkish forces for keeping the peace, you messed up big time back in 1963 to 1974.

haha - you have underlined my words nicely. Turkish 'peace' is ethnic cleansing and cultural destruction. You start a war then have the nerve to lie and blame others. On top of that you hold the Turkish military in a higher esteem than God! I will repeat it again - IT IS NO WONDER THAT THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST DISLIKES THE TURKS

Selamlar VP

Firstly thanks for the well wishes on my thread and secondly...This mavroGreek wannabe is not worth talking to. He really has not got a clue.

Ahh Zan are we back on that again? lol

I may not have a clue but you are truley the joke of this forum. Its people with your attitude that are the cause of the real eradication of Turkish Cypriots by Turkey itself. Thats fine, in 50 years the Cyprus will be one whole state again populated by over 90% Greek Cypriots - and thats all because of people like you who are brainwashed by Turkish nationalism.

did I miss something....You changed into a full Greek.. ..when did that happen I thought you still supportin Highly Elastic!!!

THE prospects of finding a comprehensive solution have 'perhaps never been better', according to the UN Secretary-General’s new Special Advisor in Cyprus, Alexander Downer.
His comments came a week after the Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders, Mehmet Ali Talat and Demitris Christofias, announced that they would be entering fully-fledged talks under United Nations auspices on 3 September - four years after serious talks broke down when the Greek Cypriot community voted against the UN's last initiative, the Annan Plan, whereas the Turkish Cypriots, led by Talat, voted for it.
However the atmosphere on the divided island has been positive since the election of left-winger Christofias as president in south Cyprus whose positive intentions towards a settlement have been in stark contrast to the outgoing president Tassos Papadopoulos.
Since the rejection of the Annan plan the leaders of the two sides have been convening but the topics discussed were restricted to technical matters in line with bringing the two communities closer together.
The UN has suggested that any new agreement between the two leaders will once again be put to a referendum.
Referring to the most recent meeting, Mr Downer said: "Clearly you have two leaders who are sincere in their commitment and engagement to move forward together towards a comprehensive settlement."
It has long been acknowledged however that it will be more than just the political will of the Turkish and Greek Cypriots that will influence the outcome of talks. One of the main players in Cyprus politics, and guarantor power, Turkey, are keen to see the talks move forward.
A Turkish foreign minister spokesman said: "We wanted the atmosphere that emerged after 2004's referendum to change. But it is necessary to be cautious. It remains to be seen how much the expectations of the Turkish Cypriots will be met."
