Bloody Turks ....

When I asked Halil why a list was needed, he said, to make the passage easier. Beware the 'dark forces'. You never know from where they come.

Was there a wooden horse involved? Or did they come bearing gifts?

I dont know the ins and outs of the event, apart from what Halil said, but who do YOU trust more (on this one).?

NICOSIA - Cyprus peace talks scheduled to resume on Sept 3 were abruptly postponed on Wednesday after a Greek Cypriot pilgrimage to the Turkish-occupied north was cancelled.

Negotiations between President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat broke off in August, but were scheduled to resume on Thursday morning.

Diplomats hoped the process could move up a gear to heal a conflict harming Turkey's prospects of joining the European Union, and driving a seemingly intractable wedge between Cyprus's Greeks and Turks for more than three decades.

"I met with (UN envoy Alexander) Downer this morning. I expressed the view that the Turkish behaviour inevitably casts a shadow over the scheduled meeting tomorrow... and which under the circumstances is better to be postponed," said George Iacovou, a senior aide to President Demetris Christofias.

A senior aide to Talat said they were checking the report. "We will try to get this information confirmed. As of now we did not have any official request to postpone tomorrow's meeting," aide Ozdil Nami told Reuters.

Earlier, about 550 Greek Cypriot pilgrims scheduled to cross into northern Cyprus turned back on Wednesday, citing delays by Turkish Cypriot authorities in permitting people from crossing over in a bus convoy.

This whole pilgrimage saga reflects very badly on Turkey and the Illegal Muppet Regime by an obviously deliberate, orchestrated and regretfully successful attempt to create bad feeling the day before the resumption of Settlement Talks.

Ask Michalides the priest. He has a lot to tell u abt Iacovu.

Insan, give us the background.

Michalides critisized Iacovu that he misinformed them abt the time, number of busses with passengers and process of passing the checkpoints.

Does that mean that in effect Iavocu engineered the situation or was it just incompetence?

Most probably he engineered the situation and he was the first GC official made a statement regarding the issue and put the blame on TC side.

They can apply all the delay tactics they like. What goes around comes around. In the end they will get what they deserve. Sweet FA.

Imo, it can't be a delaying tactic but a "political point scoring" tactic to create impressions in favour of themselves.

Talat and Christofias each scored a good political point by making good political statements. They both stated that such insignificant incidents can't prevent the resumption of solution talks.

On the contrary it is the Turkish invaders who are trying to "score points" by using a pilgrimage as a way to gain some recognition for their criminal and illegal pseudo state.

At the very least they should have allowed those people to do the pilgrimage in their own homeland and stop pretending that they own a territory which actually belongs to Republic of Cyprus.

This is yet another criminal action of the foreign invaders who prevented the Cypriot people to move freely in their own country, even for a one day pilgrimage.

No id no pass, GC pass to the TRNC everyday why do they not have any problems and only these pilgrims. This was orchastrated provcation, well known tactic of the GCs in the 1960s...nothings changed still a donkey.

I am angry at the cancellation of this pilgrimage, but if Turkey stopped the GC's visiting their churches, how would the Turks benefit from this? It would be shooting themselves in the foot, wouldnt it? I am in no way of supporting Turkeys actions; as far as I am concerned even 'lists' should be unnecessary.
