I have never advocated and I do not accept that all that is done is forgoten. I have advocated on this forum for an apology to TC's for the actions of some GC's in the 60"s. I have advocated on this same forum for legal action against the GC's involved in the Tochni massacre, I have advocated for equal right of TC's in Cyprus (that means equal no less no more) and I continue to advocate that TC's have played a major part of the development and evolution of the Cypriot culture and as such deserve equal standing in the Cypriot society (no more no less than any other Cypriot).
Papadopoulos was ousted by the citizens and voters of the RoC including some 1000TC’s because I know that some TC's voted in the elections.
You are not the bad guys what I am simply saying is that (a) Talat is not genuine about unification where he will play a role as vice president in the development and evolution of a United states of Cyprus or something like that. He has lacked foresight in working towards perhaps representing all of Cypriot people not just 18% and, (b) He perhaps is not able to make that pledge because he is not making the decisions because Turkey is making the decisions.
I have to admit I loose my cool on ocassion and go for the eye for an eye responses, and I have done it many times, and probably will do it again. However, my position stands as above. I would like to see your community take an active and participative role in the Cypriot Society and benefit from EU resources (whatever they may be), at one time in our history we have got to stop looking at the past and concentrate on the future if we want to make a better Cyprus for our children. Otherwise we are staying back there and there is nothing we can do to change those events. All the blame to be thrown around, back and forth it will not change the massacre of 63 and it will not change the events of 74. They are done they are history, we need to look to the future and there is an opportunity to make it happen.
Andrea ,
try to read again what Talat says ....Talat have to act what the TC's public forces him to do . Talat knows how and Why TC's said Yes to Annan plan .
If he tries to get rid off all the mentalties of plan , he knows TC's will not except it
but TC's knows some exceptable modifications can be done on it .
If our people were not thinking 63-74 were past now and they are history know and they wanted to stick in Morphoe or at other places they would say no Andrea .Do you think it will be easy for some people to move their settled homes third time in their lifes .İt was not easy but they said yes for peace ..... now all the soldiers were gone only hundreds were hear ....
you keep saying Talat does nothing ....he and we have done many things we are waiting u to move this time .
dont forget few months ago both sides declare solution will be BBF and they are working on it now . This road is not easy as we are thinking .... All sides and actors must be satisfied .... This is the truth ... u and me can not decide alone .... all the parties will decide together . Turkey ,Greece ,UK and Cypriots .....who eversays they have nothing to say ,it is not true ... rest of it propaganda .
