The breakaway regime is reportedly preparing to give its “citizenship” to another 15 thousand persons

Under the title “15 thousand citizens!” Turkish Cypriot daily Kibrisli newspaper (19.08.09) reports that the self-styled Eroglu government will give the “citizenship” of the breakaway regime to 15 thousand persons within the next two months. Citing information from reliable sources, the paper notes that the new “citizens” will be selected among professions and persons whom the society needs and their main duty will be to decrease the influence of the struggle of the trade unions. Observers say that these new “citizens” will play a decisive role in the result of the “elections” next year.

“It is said that this decision taken by the government together with experts from the Justice and Development Party (AKP) will further escalate the struggle of the trade unions and increase the social tension bringing it to the point of explosion”, argues Kibrisli.

This is what VP and all the NeoPartitionist mean when they talk about "Different Shades of Democracy" that they want for a Unified Cyprus.!

Give an idiot long enough rope, and he will end up hanging himself.!

15k people who will vote on any agreement between Talat and Chris. Now if they are professionals and the agreement give them a chance to prosper they may go for it. But then they may not be... ...better reach an agreement soon or the GCs will be negotiating with Ts not TCs.

After all citizens of the TRNC vote on the Annan Plan.

We already are. Talat is just a "middle man" who takes all his orders from Turkey.

It sounds like a typical Turkish bargaining ploy to me, holding a gun to our heads.

Eroglu is obviously frying Talat's ass a little bit.

THe most fitting answer would be to leave the negotiations but Christofias is going to flog this dead horse to the finish.

The big question mark is the response of TC unions whose strength is being sapped, deliberately and cynically by this mass naturalisation. If they do not react they deserve what they get.

Yep, it's generally known as Russian roulette. Perfected by the soldiers of the greatest piece loving nation on earth.

It does not matter whether GCs negotiate with Turks or TCs because there still will be the Cyprus problem exist. Be it TCs or Turks in Cyprus, Turkish solution thesis regarding Cyprus will have stay the same and let's say TRNC becomes all Turkish; Turkey still would have to exert to solve the problem as one of her duties towards the alliance she is a part of... As all other concerned parties; Turks and TCs will have an eye on their own interests as a nation.

There r some cultural and dialectical differences between Turks of Turkey and TCs, it's true but there r similar differences between Turks of different regions of Turkey too and also Turks of other independent Turkish states.

Had TRNC been completely pure TCs, still there would have been nothing changed regarding the solution of Cyprus problem. Turkey supports TCs more than Greece support GCs because of some very well known disadvantages of TCs.

In the end, overwhelming majority of TCs consider themselves as part of Turkish nation.

There is not a Cyprus problem. Never was such a problem- problem is just the Turks in Cyprus.
