A few days ago.......
Sultan Talat: My dearest humble TCs. If a peace agreement can not be reached by the end of my term then my work is complete and i will not run for Sultan. I have tried my best but was fooled by the evil Hellen Cristaki. Yes, beware Grecos bearing gifts. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled AAAGAIN!!
TCs: [Applause and cheering] i was never fooled once! Gifts from Grecos suck!
Sultan Talat: Please, please, allow me to continue...
TC: Eroglu is da man.
Sultan Talat: Ehh, as i was saying. Cristaki tells me that the GCs will never except a complex solution of a very thin confederation thats held togeather by my shoe string. As you know, the Grecos are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They do not want to share the oil off the Lemesos cost, can you belive that? Cyprus belongs to all not just the GCs! They are scuttling the talks with irrelevant property issues but we will never forget the 1960s!!
TCs: [Chants] Turkish Cyprus for the Turkish Cypriots!
Sultan Talat: An olive, please, an olive branch to the sole Denktash supporter, please listen to me. If no oil is found in the south - my shoe string will eventually rip!
Zan: [whistling] boooooo!
[Meanwhile, 20 miles just south, Bananatus is reading about the speach online from Politis website]
Bananatus: Wooooooooooooooow, what brave and honerable man! and so saaaaaaaaehhehh, sniff, sniff. That shoe string is a federation! It is, it is! Where is our Sultanus Talatus? How many GC politicians would not run if they they knew they would lose? HOW MANY?
