Halil makes a living in Bayrak to support his family boomerang. He is pro solution and certainly he wants Limnitis to open.

Why won’t the north let pilgrims cross?
By Jacqueline Theodoulou

Iacovou walks out of meeting over Limnitis crossing impasse

PRESIDENTIAL Commissioner George Iacovou yesterday walked out of his scheduled meeting with his Turkish Cypriot counterpart after being informed of the north’s decision to reject a request by Kato Pyrgos residents to go on an organised pilgrimage via the Limnitis checkpoint.

The request for easy access to the church of Saint Mamas, in occupied Morphou, came as President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat prepare to begin full-fledged negotiations in early September.

Iacovou visited Talat’s adviser Ozdil Nami at the Ledra Palace Hotel yesterday for a meeting to discuss the specific checkpoint, among other issues. He left after he was informed of the Turkish Cypriot side’s decision by the UN Special Representative in Cyprus, Taye-Brook Zerihoun just before the meeting.

The Presidential Commissioner said he deemed it necessary to cut the scheduled talks short and rush back to the Presidential Palace to inform President Christofias on the latest development.

“I arrived at Ledra Palace at 3pm and after the initial compliments, Mr Zerihoun informed me that he had received a letter from the Turkish Cypriots informing him that they would deny entry to the Kato Pyrgos residents for an organised pilgrimage through the Limnitis road,” Iacovou told reporters at the Presidential Palace.

“This, of course, is very sad news, it is truly a small-hearted and provocative decision,” he pointed out. “In view of this, I made the decision that I couldn’t go ahead with my scheduled meeting with Mr Nami.”

The Limnitis crossing in the far west of the island is proving to be something of a sticking point for both sides: Turkish Cypriots have been allowed to cross south for two years now but the north refuses to open their side, citing ‘technical issues’.

[size=12]In early August, over 1,000 Turkish Cypriots in 58 buses crossed through Limnitis to the former Kokkina enclave to mark the anniversary of what they term a victory over Greek Cypriots in 1964, when Turkey carried out an aerial bombardment of the area.[/size]
Some 300 Greek Cypriots from Kato Pyrgos staged a peaceful protest at the same time. The residents had planned to block the road but were talked out of it by the government and the Church in the longer term interests of having the Limnitis crossing opened permanently.

For the past 45 years, residents in the area of Limnitis have to travel to Nicosia via Paphos and Limassol. Opening a crossing point at Limnitis would make this journey far shorter.

Iacovou said he had made an extensive statement over the reasons that led to his decision, before walking out. He added that Zerihoun had expressed his desire to meet Iacovou in person and discuss the developments.

“I responded that I was definitely willing [to meet] whenever he wanted to discuss these issues, which not only are a result of today’s meeting but also the many others that preceded this one, regarding the opening of the Limnitis checkpoint,” Iacovou explained.

According to the Commissioner, Nami was present during his departure.

“Mr Nami was there when I arrived. And indeed we started a preliminary discussion, but I think Mr Nami felt the need to inform me of this development, so he interrupted and told me about it,” said Iacovou.

He added that Nami had not offered any reasons for the Turkish Cypriots’ rejection of the Kato Pyrgos residents’ request. “But he did express the hope that this would not affect the talks that will begin on September 3.”

Iacovou said he didn’t feel this was a bad omen in view of the beginning of direct talks between the two community leaders.

“We must stay calm; I was completely calm. I state the reasons why I couldn’t continue discussions. I think it was a calm and correct decision. When they are ready to truly talk, then we will see what to do.”

He said he had informed President Christofias on the events at Ledra Palace, who applauded his decision to leave, “because it is not possible for negotiations to be taking place under such shadows and provocative actions”.

According to Iacovou, a series of issues put forward by Nami over the Limnitis checkpoint were meant to be discussed during yesterday’s meeting.

“For two days I had been preparing to comment, discuss and negotiate these issues,” he concluded.

In the last five years, several crossing points to and from the island’s northern areas have opened to facilitate the movement of people from both sides.

At their meeting, in late July, the two community leaders decided to instruct their representatives to take up the issue of Limnitis/Yesilirmak and other crossings.

what an asshole....

[Piratis]

If we assume that the TCs can not even make the decision to open a gate then what kind of decisions, even less important than that, can they make? Nothing related to the Cyprus Problem, that is certain.

Therefore what is the point of negotiating with them?? So we can lower the president of Cyprus to the level of some community leader? Because that is the only reason why the Turks want us to "negotiate" with TCs.

[Bananiot]

I see, pull out of the talks, this is your game, just like the Turkish army wants. Whose game are you playing Piratis? How much are you getting paid? What a cretin!

No Bananot, we are gonna once and for all expose them for what they are...

No walking away because these incidents help our cause...Again you fail to see the strategy...we have reversed the bad rap Paps got...

PS...you are getting really bad with the insults...

[pantheman]

That is exactly the good news you were waiting for, idiot. You are over the moon with joy because the Turkish generals are behaving in a stupid way which suits you find, idiot.

Okay then, on Monday we will light the candle for war. Thank you Turkish generals for showing us the alternative path.

P.S. I assume the Turkish army is responsible for this.

Sadly, it is you that is the idiot, your blindness to suck deeper turkish cock AND swallow has stopped you seeing the problems your fellow GC have to suffer every day. Even now, you cannot even condemn what has happen but to attack the poster for stating the obvious. I will continue to highlight these 'Goodwill' gestures on the part of the TCs to show the world the scum (and that includes you) that we have to contend with day in day out. As has been said who is doing the negotiating here? If this is the attitudes from turkey what safe guards can you give US against them defaulting, because from where I am standing any signature won't be worth the toilet paper it is written on.

If I were Mr X, i would certainly not be going to any negotiations, after all the comments, pre conditions, goodwill gestures that have eminated from turkey of late, makes the atmosphere unattractive to start any real talking. The mood has already been set Bananiot, Turkey has made sure of that and if our side don't pull their finger out soon they will be lick the shit off of it.

Negotiate with the Turks, yeah thats a laugh, got to be the biggest joke going. WHEN has Turkey EVER honoured ANY agreement. FFS, she doesn't even recognise RoC and you are asking us to sit at the table with these people, kai den trpese ta moutra sou, axriste.

[humanist]

I see the article made it onto the forum. I read that earlier today threw my hands in air and proclaimed "fucking turkish scum". I have lost faith in TC's ............. perhaps we need to acknowledge that they don't have a place in a Cypriot community.

Bananiot, I am not playing any games. And this is what our goverment should do as well. They should declare to the international community that we are tired of playing the Turkish games by "negotiating" with their puppets who have no power to even open a gate, and that we want to negotiate directly with the Turkish leadership.

I really don't know as to why you bother...they just, tcs, just shoy him down...

But as vp and zan say they would be happy to unite with him under a unitary state...hmmm...alarm bells...

Hey Bananiot, do you get paid by any chance?...and if yes how much...

The reason I say this even with spitting in your face you defend them...amazing...
