Bananiot and Piratis,
I am disappointed in both of you. If it's meticulous facts that you are picking on, I am sure we (the true Greek Cypriots around me at the moment) could dig up many mistakes you both have made in your postings. However, that's not the real issue is it? I am sure that you can not take it when a fellow GC writes, and argues better than you both on an open forum like this. You may dabble a little in this forum with a few lines here or there, but ultimately, you have not really built our Greek Cypriot case very well in defending our "higher" rights - in a realistic way!
For example, you gave the 18-82% ratio as a failure on my behalf - How intelligent!. Yes, we both know that this is a fact, but to realistically expect the Turkish Cypriots to back off and accept such a figure is to FUEL their 30 year time WASTING tactic, thus gearing for their so-called recognition of the TRNC after another resounding "NO" in the polls of a future Cyprus plan. In other words, the more you play the TURKISH GAME, the hard it will be to convince the international community that Cyprus is one! Get it???? Probably Not!
Also, have you both ever wondered why the Turks have never been ORDERED back from their occupied 37%?Let me see now, and, I'll explain this to you both like a FIVE year OLD!
BECAUSE THE TURKS WANT A CONFRONTATION, THEN THEY WILL USE THAT BASIS AS PROOF THAT WE CAN NOT LIVE UNDER ONE ROOF. THEREFORE, PROVING THAT THEIR INVASION OF 1974 WAS A necesity! Get it????
The more we go on about the 18%, 1974 and etc, etc, the more the Turks use this as fuel on an already unwaterable fire! You are both playing into their game. So, please don't patronise me in believing that you have caught me out, as that is BS, and you both know it.
I know what the TCs are playing at, and similar to what PRESIDENT CHRISTOFIAS knows, time is running out. If we don't compromise on REALISTIC figures acceptable to both sides today; for example, we say 18% and the TCs say 30%, then I would guess a compromise would be about 23%? then we will ultimately lose 37%.
Remember, since the Annan Plan, the following has been achieved:
1)Direct Boat trips to Syria
2)More "TRNC" offices in foriegn countries, like Italy!
3)BMW dealership only being in the Occupied area
4)Vodaphone license award as "Northern Cyprus, Turkey"
5)Building of 4 5 Star international hotels under Turkish License
6)and many more EU Direct trade practices not mentioned in the public press.
The above are undisputed, and are actually happening. Or, are you going to use those points above to say that I am a Turkish Cypriot as well - Get real man.
AGREED partition is the only way, you'll see. You'll also notice that President Christofias will eventually have to Shelve the "Federation" idea (as Turkey has gained major backing for its former Annan Plan basis and now its "Founding States") and revert to a Two State Agreed Paritition base.
But,
By then, the so-called "TRNC" will, because of people like you, be award some kind of "Taiwanisation" status - as mentioned many times in recent history. Our problem is more serious than you can possible imagine, especially now that our weak President has re-kicked off UN talks with the Turkish Cypriots - Turkey must have been laughing their heads off when this was agreed by President Christofias, what a fool to have landed straight in the hands of Turkey. Like what Get Real said, we should have ignored the Turkish Cypriots like Papadopoulos did. At least that way the international community would have applied pressure on Turkey to COMPROMISE, and not the other way around as it is today. Now that they are both in dual UN talks, President Christofias can not just WALK away!!! But will have to put Closure on the subject. And, we know that the Turkish Cypriots will expect ANY plan as they are hungry for change, while we'll obviously REJECT a UN plan, therefore leaving the Cyprus situation in Tatters.
Bananiot and Piratis, be careful in what you say on this forum as there are many others who are reading this from higher levels - especially from the Turkish quarter. They now know our weaknesses thanks to people like you.
How sad.
Ps. - Remember, AGREED Parition is NOT what the Turks really want. THEY want us to SAY NO in a UN Plan and then force the Recognition of the so-called TRNC - you must be dumb not to know that.
