I think that part of the above and other matters are what our Pres X refers to when he says a settlement must be based on what he has called "European Principles".
It's a wise approach cos anything else, any derogations, are inherently undemocratic and further, unstable and challengeable in the EU courts.
Now Pres X says the settlement must be BASED on EU principles, call me pedant but that leaves too much room for interpretation for my liking. I'd like to hear him add entirely or exclusively or totally to this word "based".
Billy boy where have you been? They do use "basic", instead of any of the others you prefer. In my language when it says basic it means basic.
I did not read anything in the above post by BC that states "basic" to anything. The word used was "BASED", so get it right for once and stop interpreting basic English language words to mean anything other than what it actually means.
Just because such basic fundamentals of Democracy, Human Rights and International Laws are broken by individuals in all countries, does not mean that such basic principles should not become the cornerstone of any country's society, principles in law and individuals rights . It is people like you with 16th century mentality who at every turn sneer at these basic principle for Cyprus, just because the TCs are a minority and are afraid that they will not have undemocratic advantages they had in the 1960 agreements where others Human Rights were violated in institutionalised way. You sneer at these basic principle also, just because it threatens all ill gotten gains from the "Spoils of War" in the north. Rather than fighting to solidify these basic principles for all citizens of Cyprus where it will strengthened the future for all Cypriots, specially to the numerical minorities such as the TCs and others, you want to tear them down with your Ottoman style mentality by constantly sneering at them.
It is the like of all the Fascists on this forum who sneer at such basic principles and slowly but surely I will be forced to add you as a Fascist if you pursue your discrimination towards these basic principles by trying deny them to Cypriots, which you will not succeed by the way, specially from a person who enjoys such rights living in the UK. Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y.??
These basic principles are not the same as a Box of Chocolates, where you get to choose what you like and refuse the rest. If that is your idea of Democracy and Human Rights, then piss off to any Islamic nations in the world and live with them and with their kind of shady democracies and lets see how you will like it.! My guess is, you will not, or else you would be already gone by now.................hypocrite.!!YFred wrote:Polycarpou noted that as a “visitor”, a foreign resident is not formally allowed to work though the authorities tend to turn a blind eye when it involves the wife or husband of a Cypriot.
“But the law does not provide any real status for someone married to a Cypriot. Even now, there is this gap in the law,” said the KISA head.
The above quote from you will apply to ALL the settlers, so you better get ready to wave goodbye to all of them, except for the ones that the RoC will allow to stay, since they are ALL "visitors" to Cyprus, or in plain English, Illegal Aliens.!
Again I have to remind you that it is not the knife of democracy that is the problem but the corrupt GC surgeon who weilds that knife at the throat of the TC minority on the surgery table that makes us fight for survival.
Sorry, such meaningless slogans is pointless, because every nation who practices Democracy also have minorities and they seem to manage just fine. Stop making excuses before you have even tried it out that it won't work. BBF is what's on offer and BBF is what you will get, but Democratically and not the AP crap. I have given you a very clear method that it can work, as long as you return 50% of the north back to the GC's, or, form political parties along political ideology rather than ethnic lines if you really want a unified Cyprus, but we all know you want partition, therefore you can make all the excuses you want, because it is free. As ma old girlfriend use to say, "excuses are like assholes, that everyone has one". In your case, you have many............................................excuses that is.!
Deal with the GC surgeon and stop making excuses for him to use the knife as he wishes, he has a very bad record for sucessful operations.
Cyprus is a member of the EU, and as such ALL citizens have rights as defined by the EU Charter. These rights are non negotiable, so stop advocating anything which contradicts these core rights as EU citizens.
The EU is the only guarantee GCs can accept. Anything else means that our rights as a sovereign nation and as EQUAL citizens is diminished.
President Christofias is wise enough to NEVER present a solution to the Cypriot people that will result in a NO vote.
