Maybe the Church shouldn't have anything to do with politics, but if you take the Archbishop's comments as coming from a man and not a priest, he has a valid point.

He's not the only man to think that the way things are going it looks like Christofias is going to sell the Republic to the Turks.

Those are Denktash's famous words when he wants to blame someone of wanting to negotiate..

Just have to see how the negotiations go. The problem isn't that Christofias wants to negotiate, but that he isn't making any particularly strong statements of his position and that makes him look a bit weak.

Talat and Erdogan are talking about non-negotiable guarantees and red lines but Christofias is just talking compromise and getting the best deal 'under the circumstances'.

I'm sure he knows what he is doing but I don't blame people for being uneasy. People like a strong leader...

Does it give you a rebellious kick to use such words Bananiot, simply because His Beatitude is revered and respected by many Cypriots whom you hate and betray.

More than a tad hypocritical; since if he was an ordinary citizen or mere politician, you would not have resorted to such vernacular.

Bravo Bananiot .....

The most funny thing was this:

The Archbishop criticized Christofias for his willingness to accept rotating presidency. Then Christofias in his reply said somehting in the lines of "I was elected with the votes of 53% of the people, not like you who was elected with the votes of only the 15% so shut up"

But doesn't Christofias notice the oxymoron? He is willing to accept rotating presidency that would allow somebody with just the 9.5% of the votes of the Cypriot people (probably even less than that since half of that or more could be settlers) to be a president of Cyprus, while somebody who has support of the 15% of the people is not even allowed to have an opinion according to Christofias!

If Christofias is willing to dissolve democracy and accept that somebody with just the support of 9.5% of the people can be the president of Cyprus, then he should spare us the "I was elected with the 53%" because this democracy that elected him is the one who is willing to dissolve. I wonder how Chsristofias would like it if the system was already like that and instead of him with his 53% the one who was elected as president was the Archibishop with his 15%.

I can understand Christofias frustation as all these criticism help to undermine his position at these negotiations . They are not easy negotiations they are dificult and such rediculous comments do not help to re inforce the president if I was in his case I would be very frustated too. BTW he reminded them also the 1960 agreements that some continue to undermine.

My foot! Why do you not do what Iceman suggested? It would do you the world of good. Revered and respected by many Cypriots? You must be joking.

Piratis, only some months ago you got heated up when anyone dared to question the wisdom of your protege. Your constant argument was that "you must respect the democratically elected President". Times do take a turn, don't they?

Brace yourselves for the final battle. September is nigh.

Bananiot, we respect the democratically elected President for as long as he ensures that when his 5 years are over there will be another democratic elections where people will again be allowed, one person one vote, to elect another (or the same) president. Dissolving democracy is not an option.

Brace yourselves for the final battle. September is nigh.

The final battle will be the one that will free Cyprus from foreign occupation and bring democracy and human rights for all Cypriots. Until then we will continue our just struggle with whatever means we have.

If you traitors hope that in September you will manage to help Turkey to kill us off and bring a final victory of the Turks against us then you are very mistaken.

Honestly O , such bloody nonsense from an educated individual such as you my dear. The Archbishop REPRESSENTS THE CHURCH NOT THE PEOPLE !
How on earth can you say that Bananiot " supports the desecrators of our churches, our history, heritage and traditions ""
I told you before that you ought to refrain from making stupid comments in view of the fact that You are a scientist and should behave like one not as you sometimes behave , like a yob . Bananiot is no more a supporter of what you accuse him of being than I'm !

Why do you not do what Iceman suggested?

I have seen what taking his advice has done to you!
