Pseudo elections in the North could hurt talks

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Pseudo elections in the North could hurt talks

Postby christos1 » Mon Mar 23, 2009 8:51 pm

Here is some real news, not that Cyprus Mail garbage about Talat's bravery. Talat sees the writing on the wall. his party isnt doing to good. We have Christofias with his words below trying to give Talat's party a boost. It will probably have the opposite effect. And to Bana and Y-Fronts:
1) Try and comprehend what the article states below.
2) Try to keep your irrelevant questions about 1571 and the like to yourselves.

In other words, keep on topic:

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/03/ ... -Talks.php

NICOSIA, Cyprus: Cyprus' president said Monday that efforts to reunify the island would suffer a serious setback if political opponents of a Turkish Cypriot leader involved in negotiations win parliamentary elections next month.

Dimitris Christofias, a Greek Cypriot, has been in talks with Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat for six months trying to hammer out an agreement to end the island's 35-year division.

Chances of a deal would be "very difficult" if Talat's party loses support in Turkish Cypriot elections April 19.

Although the vote does not directly affect Talat's position as president, it is considered an important gauge of popular support for his reunification effort.

Opinion polls place Talat's left-wing party supporters behind the rightist UBP party.

Cyprus was divided into an internationally recognized Greek Cypriot south and a breakaway Turkish Cypriot north in 1974 when Turkey invaded in response to a coup by supporters of union with Greece. The north's administration is recognized only by Turkey.

"If we can't work things out with this man (Talat), who is considered progressive, then I don't know if we could ever work things out," Christofias said.

Talat favors a loose federation with the majority Greek Cypriots, but his conservative opponents back a two-state model that Greek Cypriots reject.

Lets begin with 1571, you will find that it is not us dear man, blame Piratis and his gang mainly Capo Mafiso GRo.

It has taken Talat nearly 20 years to convince Turkey of the significance of peace in Cyprus. Do you really think that Turkey would allow UBP to deviate from this path. For all the partitionist, before you start rejoicing, wait and see what happens to Mr Eroglu if he should win. You will see the gretaest 180 degree turn you are likely to see.

You have Talat to thank for this situation and you have the RoC and the EU to thank for his demise.

We shall overcome. Yes we can. You now we can.

If it all goes pear shaped then I blame the RoC and the EU in equal measure. :wink: :wink:

He confirmed it again in this thread when he stated "Palio, I don't believe it will make any difference."

His need to have the last word in every thread has revealed that he is a walking contradiction. He knows the reality but puts on a show.

When you say "I dont believe it will make any difference" you are telling us that it doesnt matter if its Talat or Eroglu because Turkey is calling the shots. Again, when you say that Turkey would not "allow UBP to deviate from this path" you are admitting that Turkey calls the shots.

You will put on a better show for us if you take a breather from this forum for 5 minutes to collect your thoughts. Come back, see where you went wrong in your propagandizing and try not to do it again.

When i come back from the bar tonight, i am going to forget all about your slippage so you will have a fresh start. here is another tip, if i were you, i would let this thread die down. Sometimes, its ok to just walk away from a thread. You will get us next time, YFronts.
