T_C welcome back, but i won't start jizzing my pants just yet buddy.

The problem is not Talat, but his masters that concern me. I have no issue with Talat as he has no authority over anything and he WILL do as he is told.

I am more concerned with the red lines Turkey has imposed and makes every effort to publcise them at every chance. She won't lose face and then a deal becomes even more difficult to find.

I guess we can hope, but I am not holding my breath.

The question now is whether there are enough TCs left in the north to make a difference. The latest population figures are alarming. I heard them last night on RIKSAT from a TC and understood that the game is lost. There are less than 55000 TCs left on the island.


Not quite, because the political leadership is still in TC hands. I hear that the UBP plans to field 50% mainland Turkish candidates in the next elections. Once all the senior offices are filled by Turks as opposed to Turkish Cypriots, then the game will finally be up.

Nikitas hi, yes iceman raised an interesting point the other day abour a referendum. It really saddens me to see those figures dropping. TC's may find this really difficult to appreciate tht a GC is concerned about this issue, am sure you will understand and appreciate when I say that Cyprus is unique because we have had the TC influence in Cyprus for over many decades. As someone who lives in Greece you may be able to recognise the difference between Cypriots and Greeks and I put it down to the fact that Cyprus had two predominant groups and a couple of less dominant cultural groups.

For what is worth I am saddenened to see those numbers of TC's reduced and replaced by settlers and their children.

The story continues, we have only time to see.

As far as hallils propaganda posts well take it just as that.

I think Christofias is onto what Turkey is aiming to do. But I think he demilitarisation of the Island is a way of getting turkey out of the way. Now its all up to the TC's as to what they want. It is also up to all Cypriots not to vote for something they do not support when it goes to referendum.


I agree neither side should agree to anything they do not want both sides have the right to say NO.

Which areas are the GCs excelling?
