These "elections" in the occupied north have proved beyond any doubt that there can be no agreed solution without the repatriation of nearly all the mainland Turkish settlers from Cyprus. It is not possible for the GC community to accept the idea that its future in this country will be decided and determined by nationalist elements such as Eroglou, etc, which will always be able to control the "TC" community via the settlers' votes, and through them also the federal government, thus share and control the sovereignty and political independence of our island. We cannot possibly accept that Turkey will become our government one day, soon after a solution, in the same way in which Turkey is now the government of the "TCs" in the occupied north. This will be tantamount with a return back to the Ottoman Empire and the 300 years of Turkish occupation, in which we GCs were ruled by the Turkish Sultan of the "Grand Porte."
No GC can possibly accept the idea that an overweening and deluded pantourkist nationalist such as Eroglou will one day become the president of the GCs in a rotating presidency arrangement. Such a person will sell Cyprus to Turkey form the first day he will seat on the presidency chair of the federal government.
We do not accept Turkey to become our government, and this clear message should be send to Christofias stronger than ever.
