Actually, let me just make one thing clear.

I'm not proposing toppling our lovely Communist Government. I mean, even the USA is adamant it is perfect, the one and only legitimate Government of Cyprus:

“Now, I want to repeat to be very clear so there is absolutely no misunderstanding... we do not recognise any government other than the government of the Republic of Cyprus”

.... State Department official on behalf of Hilary Clinton. (Quoted in the Cyprus Mail)

But for how long are we going to allow those Turk-TCs to play at pretend politics, holding pseudo-elections and trying to set up some kind of splinter "governmental-power-groups" - in our country?

Hmmm... I must prepare myself for a counter revolution. A "purple revolution" that would reset "RoC" into RoC.

Come on Insan, you can find a vraga from some where!

WTH is vraga wre guambaro?

You should know what happens to counter-revolutionists in times of revolution our Insan.

Nothing is impossible... Never say never... Life full of surprises...

Sounds good to me. A cross community carnival. Excellent. Can I wear a fez?

You can borrow mine, bill.... 'cos I'll be wearing my up-to-date yellow baseball cap.

(With my moustache and vraga I wouldn't want people to think that I was bu don jeron du Guchuk Mehmedi)

Make sure you don't end up in Istanbul, like he did.

Now I think about it, I'd better wear one of those Rastafarian wooly hats.

Oh and freddie please don't use the "I" word, you know it upsets some on the Forum.

I suppose we'll have to wait for these talks to collapse?

Oracle my dear friend .... Idon't think we have a choice in allowing the TC's to hold part of our country hostage............ Turkey has a stronghold on it and whilst that oil is still in the sea we have buckleys. The only people that can change this is the TC's and through a revolution in the occupied areas...... an unlikely step.

The trouble is T/Cs dont hold it. It is occupied by Turkey whose military and govt exercise tremendous influence over those T/Cs willing to accept this situation. To a large extent you are negotiating with Turkey and the T/C only put their concerns forward if they happen to be aligned with Ankara's interests.
Most T/Cs demands are actually not very different to what G/Cs want; a country with the rule of law, security ensured by the EU (not guarantors), the solving of property disputes and prosperity.

The only way to resolve this not by revolution, where a T/C rebellion will be crushed by Turkey, but to support the peace process and to negotiate and begin a dialogue process with Turkey. The up side is that the Turkish govt is democratic and supporting a Cyprus solution based on unity. The pro-EU Turks are now in the majority so we should be working with them to put pressure on their govt for a solution.
