So, it is going to be Turkey’s and the Turkish Cypriot’s terms for a solution. Let them take the magnanimous hands of Turkey and Turkish Cypriots for a lasting peace in Cyprus and the region.
Throughout history, losers did not only accept conditions of surrender but have, also, to pay for reparations and losses.

http://www.observercyprus.com/observer/ ... px?id=3980These are the people we GCs negotiate with. I suppose Talat, to have this idiot as his spokesman, also shares his above views. Now, what shall we say as GCs? Would we be wrong to say that if these lunatics still believe that they “won a war in 1974” and they are entitled to dictate the terms of peace, akin the allies against Nazi Germany, let’s fuck Turkey’s EU accession, once and for all; and let them also rot in isolation until the hell freezes, or until they disappear as a community from the face of earth? Are we wrong and unfair to make such thoughts? Are these people so far detached with reality, that they still believe they are the winners of a war, and we GCs the losers? How much of a pathetic and desperate loser someone has to be, to utter the above nonsense?
First of all I don't understand from where Kifeas get the idea that below words are from Hasan Erçakıca ..... Did u read the he has given here to do with Hasan Erçakıca .
have a read again what the article says from the Cyprus observer newspaper.
Karoyan dictates his terms
29.05.2009
DIKO Leader Karoyan was answering questions from ‘civilians’ on Greek Cypriot state TV Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), channel 1. He posed like a glorious, victorious commander of an army which had defeated and had wiped out the enemy. And, he dictated his terms for capitulation.
What a disgusting, disgraceful list of conditions he was putting before President Christofias, who allegedly is striving hard for a peaceful solution and re-unification of divided Cyprus, to convey to the Turkish side at the table.
Yannakis Kareklas, Director of the CyBC news department had to interrupt Karoyan several times during the live transmission. But, he did not ask him politely to be more reasonable.
What was Karayon driving at?
He attempted to use the programme and manipulate participants to demonstrate ‘the rightful’ DIKO’s uncompromising stance on economic and internal matters, not to say the least on the search for a Cyprus settlement.
He accused President and negotiator for the Greek Cypriots, Demetris Christofias, and said that DIKO would prevent concessions from the Greek Cypriot side.
“We have made more than enough concessions by accepting a bizonal, bicommunal Federation, based on political equality. Concessions had to come from the Turkish side. What is equality, how can 80 % of the population be equal with 18% Turkish Cypriots. DIKO is vehemently opposed to confederation, against two constituent states. Turkey has invaded and occupied 36% of our island. Turkey must pull out its armed forces and settlers and the Turkish guarantee must be revoked... the late President Tassos Papadopoulos rejected the Annan Plan with 76 % of the population behind him. We hear talks about another, revised Annan Plan. Christofias must not discuss anything of the sort. DIKO can support Christofias, only when he follows the nationalist policy...”
He had lost all control and looked like a dictator, with the air of full command and control of the people. He was extremely excited and raised his voice to drive home his points. It turned out to be a ludicrous show for him.
Some Greek Cypriots I have spoken with about the TV show, did not hesitate to describe Karoyan as “a lunatic, a clown and an entertainer, definitely not a politician with vision. He ought to explain the reasons of the present state of affairs and he should have the guts to tell the people ‘we have made serious mistakes and lost the battle. We must find ways to put things right and to reduce our losses - both material and moral - to the minimum.”
Greek Cypriots with commonsense, who have lived through the foolhardy adventures of the Greek Cypriot leaders - Archbishop Makarios, Grivas, Kyprianou, Papadopoulos, Samson, Lyssarides, Omirou and others - have realised that a peaceful settlement and re-unification of Cyprus won’t be possible by demanding the ‘surrender’ of the Turkish Cypriots and of Turkey to the whims of politicians like Karoyan, Lyssarides, Omirou and Koutsou.
Demetris Christofias and AKEL’s Secretary General Andros Kyprianou, in their view, were on the right track. But, extremists, fanatics, traitors and short sighted politicians wanted them to follow a harder line and dictate their own conditions to the Turkish side as if the Turks were the vanquished.
DIKO leader Karoyan with his fiery statements and expressions, supported by EDEK and Omirou should realise that what they are doing is ‘pouring petrol on the fire’. A fire which may engulf them and the whole of the Middle East.
Whereas what is best for all would be a compromising, peaceful, reconciliatory approach towards the Turks at the Cyprus talks. Demetris Christofias is the appropriate politician who can work out a fair and lasting Cyprus settlement, believe the Europeans, the Americans, mainland Greeks and the UN.
Why not, then, give full backing to Christofias to come with acceptable concessions, with the give-and-take principle to reach a compromising, fully fledged agreement with Talat, who is so eager to complete his term in office (2010) with a Cyprus settlement award?
DIKO leader Karoyan must remember that it is the victors who put their conditions at the end of wars. The Americans, British, French and the Russians laid down their terms for Hitler’s’ defeated Germany. It was not Hitler or the Germans who dictated to the allies after the Second World War.
So, it is going to be Turkey’s and the Turkish Cypriot’s terms for a solution. Let them take the magnanimous hands of Turkey and Turkish Cypriots for a lasting peace in Cyprus and the region.
Throughout history, losers did not only accept conditions of surrender but have, also, to pay for reparations and losses.
Think twice, Mr. Karoyan, is it going to be a fair deal to be worked out by Christofias and Talat or fresh adventures with unforeseeable consequences?
Would you like to be the commander of, yet, another badly defeated army?
I wouldn’t.
I hope that DISI, Anastasiades and all politicians with integrity and love for their homeland will listen to Demetris Christofias rather than pay attention to the outbursts of Karoyan, Omirou, Lyssarides, Perdikes and Koutsou.
Had prominent Greek Cypriot journalists - Katsambas, Angelides, Markides and journalists of their calibre - been alive, I am sure they would have condemned DIKO and Karoyan. Yannakis Kareklas is too young and inexperienced. He behaves like Greek Cypriot journalists who are daydreaming. A man in his position ought to have told Karoyan to be, at least, more realistic and sensible. He did not.
What was the aim of that CyBC programme, some one must have an explanation!!
