You asked Omer for the solution formula.

Ye.. but he didn't answer or he had a hidden message? Such as we r all Cypriots and we have a single national cause?

I do believe we Cypriots, after years of foreign nefarious domination, are genetically programmed to believe in conspiracy theories.

Such as we r all Cypriots and we have a single national cause?

Just start by not taking sides and see where that takes you.

It takes me somewhere like Turks in Greece or Greeks in Turkey.

Omer, being denied the right to trade freely is also embargoed. It has caused the migration of 10s of thousands of TCs from Cyprus (RoC Policy since 1960). RoC has as much responsibility as Turkey on this matter. Do not dismiss any initiative that works towards the ending of it. Being unable to trade because they occupy GC property whiles the GCs are able to trade with the world despite the fact that they occupying TC property may be legal but it’s immoral. It is as immoral as the Natasha’s working in those nightclubs in the middle of the fields in the TRNC.

Embargoes are what you have on Cuba.

Actually, T/Cs can trade via the Green Line Regulations or via Turkey freely. However, the TRNC govt does not want that, they prefer to sell directly from Ercan or Famagusta with a nice big TRNC stamp on their products. But because the TRNC is non-recognised by nearly every country on the planet this is never going to be possible unless enough of them recognise the TRNC first or upgrade its status somehow and they know this very well.

With hindsight I can say with confidence that a solution is the only way to address this issue and many other issues such as property. Therefore you should focus on the nice golden goose egg that is ready to hatch and not waste time with trying to get a meagre egg out of a Rooster...

Omer, you indeed have some positive ideas and views, and if only half of the TCs would share them, I am sure the problem would have been solved long ago. You seem to believe that a solution is just around the corner, and I only wish I could share your optimism. Unfortunately, I am afraid we are still miles apart from such a happy end. To help make my point, I will ask you to evaluate the positions of the GC side, as laid out by President Christofias during the ongoing talks between him and Talat since last May (2008,) and tell me what you find to be problematic for you as a TC, in those positions /proposals.

PS: So far, the power-sharing and governing, the economy and EU and the property aspects /chapters of the problem were discussed, and the positions of the two sides are more or less well known to the public. Furthermore, the positions of the two sides on the security /guarantees and the settlers issues are also well known.

Omer, I have asked you earlier today (above post) to evaluate the GC positions as laid out so far during the negotiations between Christofias and Talat, and tell me if as a TC you see anything problematic in them, but I haven’t received a reply until this hour. Am I right to assume that this is because you see nothing problematic in what the GC side is proposing, and if so, why haven’t we reached a solution yet?
