His attitude towards Christofias' actions to invite to the Council of Europe shows nothing but inability to be a leader.
Once again the TC's deserve what they get. They voted him in and if they want to catch up to the rest of Cyprus they need to vote him out.
I certainly don't have any confidence that the man can unify anything and I certainly don't want him representing me on any level. And yes as halil, VP and Zan have repeaetdly reminding me he is not there to represent me because I have a greek speaking heritage a true leader does not discriminate.
He will soon need to make a decision though be a slave to Turkey for another 34 years or join with Christofias to rid the Turks from Cyprus and therefore enabling all Cypriots and more specifically his community to develop and thrive in all domains of Cypriot life, econmoinc, cultural, social and political.
A united Cyprus cannot afford to have greek and Turkish speaking political parties this time they need to get it right. I certainly don't want to see future Cypriots going through another 63 and 74 because of current incompetence primarily evident on the TC side.
When has President Talat or in fact any TC claimed to represent any GCs or the south? you did not elect him so how can he claim such a right. You are the ones who claim to represent the whole island including the TCs for political gain although we did not elect your leader we didn't give him any mandate to speak on our behalf. President Talat had the opportunity to put forward the position from which he is trying to negotiate and asked for equality of the 2 sides not allowing only one sides voice to be heard, he was right in everything he had to say and we support him 100%. Be careful of what you wish for a replacement for President Talat would be far worse and would not even give the GCs the time of day let alone start a negotiations process.
Your community was not able to elect the president of the republic in 1960 either. Doesn't mean you didn't see him as your president.
