The official GC approach on the Cyprus Problem

Council of Europe

Address by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Dimitris Christofias

http://www.coe.int/t/dc/files/pa_sessio ... ias_en.asp

Unfortunately foreign interventions and wrong choices made by certain circles in both communities on the island from the first few years of independence, prevented the development of this homeland for the benefit of all Cypriots. Instead of practical day to day cooperation within the framework of the institutions of the new state, which would have been the natural continuation of a long history of harmonious co-existence over centuries, the two communities found themselves opposed to each other, as a result of foreign intervention and the actions of certain chauvinist groups.

What does this vision entail? It entails a solution and reunification based on the relevant UN resolutions and the 1977 and 1979 High Level Agreements between the leaders of the two communities under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General.

Together we envisioned the transformation of the unitary state to a federation through the implementation of the principle of political equality between the two communities, as defined in the UN Security Council resolutions. Together we envisioned a Cyprus for Cypriots without the presence of foreign troops, without the mass presence of foreign nationals as settlers who would change the demographic composition of the population. We envisioned a federal united and common homeland, where the differences and identity of each community would be respected.

I would like to declare before you my faith in the Cypriot identity that has evolved from centuries of living together and which we must foster and promote. I am a Greek Cypriot and proud of my roots and identity, but equally I fully respect Mr Talat’s right to be different and proud of his roots and his identity. As a politician, however, and as President of the Republic of Cyprus in particular, I have the good of the country as a whole at heart, thinking as a Cypriot who wants to serve all of his countrymen and create the right conditions to ensure that an undivided Cyprus, one that is our common homeland, survives.

What are your comments to the above statements?

Mr Christofias talks a lot of sense.

Best bit for me!

Very sad to say just 46 years too late.

And now I present to you the TC approach on the Cyprus problem, by the newly elected pseudo-prime minister of the "TRNC" Dervis Eroglu:

UBP Leader Eroglu: "There are two communities, two states and two democracies in the island of Cyprus. We are supportive of any solution within this frame of action." Leader of National Unity Party (UBP) Dervis Eroglu, successful in the early elections held last Sunday stated that their party was in sync with the solution parameters and Ankara. Eroglu said: “As long as there is a solution based on the existence of the two communities, two states and two democracies on the island of Cyprus we are supportive of that solution.”
“The UBP will follow the principles of the EU in support for basic human rights, a competitive free market economy and several other elements initially introduced to the country by the UBP.”

Politics based on service

Immediate solution to the Cyprus problem

“We will work to achieve a solution to the Cyprus Problem as soon as possible,” the UBP leader stated and our parameters are in harmony with Ankara regarding a solution. The party supports any solution offer that takes as its basis the principal of the two people, two states and two democracies on the island of Cyprus.

You would wish Talat was back, and after Erdogan goes too, god help us all.

In fairness to Mr Christofias, that is an old article! Now he is more seasoned at dealing with the Turkish demands, he may well have tweaked his stance ... especially since receiving the powerful messages emanating since the Orams' ruling.

Same for Eroglu ... who may well change his desire for the real Human Rights' rulings coming out of European Courts, which he is having to swallow

I don't care if it's Talat, Eroglu or some other Pezevenkoglu, representing the TCs. That's the TCs problem, not mine!

Hey, YFred, any idea how long the island of Cyprus has been in existence – undivided – as a landmass? Forget, for one minute, what its current ignoramous, egocentric inhabitants think: who call themselves human but who have yet, as a whole, to get to grips with concept of human rights.

Around 90 million years. That's nearly two million times your piddly 46. It's never too late.
