Screw up these talks and we shall see mate........
Paliometoxo, Zan may have a point. The recognition by Russia and Nicaragua of South Ossetia and Abkhazia has - in effect - opened up the prospect of a number of unrecognized entities being formally recognized without waiting for UN sanction. Even though Russia has stated that they have not changed their policy on the northern administration in Cyprus, Vladimir Putin did say earlier this year (and I quote):"The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has a better case for recognition than Kosovo". The use of the north's formal title is in itself a rather telling point.
A lot is going to hinge on the outcome of these talks. If something is worked out by both Kristofas and Talat and it goes to referendum, how the communities vote could very well affect the recognition issue. The Greek Cypriots gave themselves a black eye internationally when the Annan Plan was rejected. It didn't matter that the plan was flawed; it was perceived that the Greek Cypriots did not want reconciliation. If that prospect repeats itself, well...
Utu , the AP was rejected because it was not only flawed as you say but it was interpreted by the people as not a unifying plan , on the contrary it was a plan that recognised the permanent partition of our island into a Greek and Turkish section. The Plan was devised entirely based on Turkeys requirements , the people of Cyprus responded accordingly.
Tpap was present, 300 Cypriot lawyers were present and the hundreds of UN mediators were present but it was all done in Turkeys favour.......You gotta be kidding me. And this guy claims that I distort facts
What the AP failed to do was hand TPap the island...A dream he has had since the beginning of time. The hero that would hand Cyprus back to Greece and have his name in history for ever....
Having 50% of our Cypriot Police stations flying the Greek flag and 50% flying the Turkish flag wasnt exactly a sign of a united Cyprus was it mate.
Having roads belonging exclusively to G/Cs and T/Cs wasnt exactly a ROAD to a unified Cyprus was it mate.
Giving Turkey the legal right to intervene in any part of Cyprus , EU territory , wasnt exactly a satisfactory solution for the overwhelming majority of Cypriots .
These and more were the reasons I along with the majority rejected . ( I did not vote )
As far as my new character ASSASSINATION !! by Zan the Hate Master all I can say what an ASS of a Plonker !!
So if Im an Assassin , then this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are WRONG about all that you post . Have to make sure that my new title does not destruct me from my continued work in building little tiny bridges amongst our people -excluding the Gray Wolves and EOKAB
