Don't think the ever out of touch Eroglu could have heard what Erdogan had to say, cos he has repeated his Intransigence and Opposition to the Arrangement again today.

Two Peoples Two Countries Eroglu has said that he doesn't accept the Arrangement and doesn't recognise what he calls the merger of the FAs.

Reported today in haber"kktc".

For turkish-speakers...

"... Eroğlu: "kop'la Atılan İmzayı Birleşme Olarak Kabul Etmiyorum... Böyle Bir Birleşmeyi Kabul Etmek Mümkün Değil".

Lefkoşa, 22 Kasım 13 (T.A.K): Cumhurbaşkanı Derviş Eroğlu, Kıbrıs Türk Futbol Federasyonu'nun (KTFF), Kıbrıs (Rum) Futbol Federasyonu (KOP) ile attığı imzayı birleşme olarak kabul etmediğini söyleyerek, "Böyle bir birleşmeyi kabul etmek mümkün değil" dedi. ..."

Its quite simple, read the fifa membership requirements. Im afraid someone else is on the wackybacky re bastourmoui.

Any Association which is responsible for organising and supervising football in its country may become a Member of FIFA. In this context, the expression “country” shall refer to an independent state recognised by the international community. Subject to par. 5 and par. 6 below, only one Association shall be recognised in each country.[/size]

Well, well, well ... the chap who calls himself some bizarre kind of "minster for sport" for "trnc", Donktosh Jnr, has visited Ankara, where he met with the Turkish Minister for Youth and Sports, a Mr Suat Kılıc.

Looks like the Turk to Turk chip off the old block-house has been shown a yellow card by the Turkish Minister for Sport for insisting that the "trnc" maintain its isolations of football.

Echoing Mr Erdogan's support of the the Football Arrangement of a few days ago, this is what the Turkish Minister for Youth and Sports Suat Kılıç had to say to Donktosh Jnr ( as reported in Baycrap )...

" ... Pointing to the need for the removal of obstacles that are placed before the Cyprus "Turkish" youths uniting with the world via sports, Suat Kılıç stressed that forcing youths on the island to live without sports means standing against the perception that a solution based on equality and reconciliation can be found..."

Here's an unhappy looking Serdar...

BillC, our side needs to be very careful, if these schmucks are accepting such offerings then they have an ulterior motive. Perhaps they have better foresight than us, but whatever, we need to be cautious about it. Turkey does not accept things lightly, and when they are, there is something in it for them. Our side are just idiots and would probably sell their mothers for a few shekels to get to fame.

CFA votes in favour of next steps to Cypriot football's reunification

By Andrew Warshaw

November 25 - Football re-unification between Greek and Turkish Cypriots has moved a further step closer with the official Cyprus Football Association (CFA) approving the historic arrangement signed by the two sides at FIFA headquarters earlier this month.

The CFA's general assembly voted overwhelmingly in favour of the so-called "Temporary Arrangement for Football in Cyprus" with 12 clubs in favour, two against and three abstentions.

The CFA has not identified those who voted against in the secret ballot but it has not all been plain sailing for CFA president Costakis Koutsokoumnis (pictured) who has been accused by some fans of selling out. Supporters of APOEL Nicosia unfurled a giant banner at a Europa League match on November 7, translated from the Greek as "Turko-koumnis...don't forget 40 years of occupation".

Nevertheless, addressing the CAF general assembly, UEFA vice-president Marios Lefkaritis, Honorary President of the CFA, congratulated the leadership for the way in which it had handled negotiations with the Turkish Cypriots. He stressed Cypriot football had nothing to fear from the agreement.

The deal was struck after months of sensitive negotiations aimed at ending decades of mistrust and disunity between the respective footballing communities on the divided Mediterranean island.

The summit at FIFA headquarters in Zurich, which was long in the planning but was stalled because of disagreements over the wording of the documentation, was attended by both Koutsokoumnis and his opposite number, Cyprus Turkish Football Association Cyprus Turkish FA President Hasan Sertoğlu, whose organisation in the breakaway north is not officially recognised but which will now play a decisive role in attempts to unify football on the island.

Just like on the Greek side, there are pockets of loyalists in the north who favour Turkish Cypriot clubs being allied to the Turkish league rather than have anything to do with the Greek Cypriots. But in what is regarded a hugely significant move backing the recently signed arrangement, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's welcomed football's attempts to make progress.

"Recently, the football federation of northern Cyprus and the southern Cyprus football federation signed an agreement to represent the whole island and participate in international football competitions as one team. I would like to see the positive impact of this step in the political process also," he was quoted as saying.

Erdogan's comments have been interpreted as the Turkish regime supporting the CFA-CTFA process rather than pro-Turkey nationalists, who represent around 25% of the population in northern Cyprus and oppose the recently signed deal.

Eroglu's intransigence on football unity continues...

Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (23.11.13) reported the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu has said that he does not accept as unification with the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) the signing of an agreement by the Turkish Cypriot so-called football federation [in Zurich on 5 November]. "It is not possible to accept such unification", he noted in statements in the Turkish city of Gaziantep. He argued that the chairman of their so-called football federation had said that the text discussed in Cyprus was different than the text signed in Zurich.

He went on and claimed: "I do not know whether these mistakes can be corrected in new meetings. However, if these mistakes are not corrected the chairman of the football federation could not take this to the clubs and discuss it, because entering under the CFA, will need first to register at official offices in the Greek Cypriot side and afterwards in cooperation with the CFA you will establish a four-party committee under the roof of the CFA".
