with the 2 articles of the treaty I gave you....is Turkey in breach of the treaty at this moment in time or not?
And by the way the ex-president has stated on numerous occassions that the treaty of gaurantee died when Turkey breached it.
DT,
The implication of the bit highlighted is that you think that once a part/article of an instrument of law has alleged to have been broken then the whole instrument is 'invalid', that is to say, no longer has force ? Is that what you mean ? Just wondering.
The breach itself did not render the treaty invalid, the rights given to the Republic because of the breach are what makes it invalid. The Republic was within its rights to declare all or part of the treaty invalid. Naturally the part that involved Turkey (who committed the breach) was declared no longer in force.
How nice of the Republic to make such monumental decisions for us, without consultation. We are truly thankful for not being burdened for such monumental decision making. I look forward to the RoC joining the Civilised world and being a little just a little more inclusive in the future, only about 5% you understand, I don’t mean to be too demanding an all that.
In the mean time we officially herby declare that we have not relinquished Turkey of the responsibility of protecting all Cypriots, so we can return the favour to you with the full RoC democratic principles and all that, old boy.
If you can convince the govt of Cyprus to re-introduce the treaty then go ahead. I think you'll have a hard time.
