Hillary was in Europe this past week, so why didn't Talat go and see her then.? I'm sure she could have spent 10 minutes with him during a cigarette break from her busy schedule. This is nothing but a "Talat Goes to Washington" stunt to grab some headlines when he could have helped save the planet by not leaving his "Carbon Footprint" all the way from Cyprus to Washington on a worthless trip concerning the Cyprus Talks.!

Kicks, you concern for the environment is almost touching. What have you got against Talat for god sake, would you rather have Eroglu which I suspect may have been a TMT member as well as one of the beneficiaries of the stolen GC lands?

What if the meeting takes place, if you are so sure its worthless then you have nothing to worry about and should not sound so shit scared covered up of course by your usual sarcasm. Will you eat your words and apologise for your crap if the meeting does actually take place?

Was there ever any doubt that there was a meeting and the GCs managed to delay it?

The fact that there is a meeting happening is good. Communications are needed. If there was a RoCy "plot" to stop Talat from going earlier, it would have been a rather stupid thing to do, given the rapproachment negotiations between Talat and President Christofas.

As long as the north is seen to be militarilly occupied and supported, there is not going to be much sympathy regardless of the detente. You call the northern administration Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, but - and lets be honest - wouldn't the better term be Turkish Controlled Northern Cyprus?

Call it what you want but without the Turkish Army we would have been mince meat and even today they act as a deterrant for people like Sotos Piriatis Kifeas etc who are just biting at the bit to attack. ıf you do not hear or communicate with both parties how are you supposed to make a sound assesment of the problem and support a solution?
