Thanks....Christofias said this on August 25, 2009:
http://www.financialmirror.com/News/Cyp ... News/16999Christofias stressed that “each Cypriot, Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot, should bear responsibility for the election of the President and the Vice President on a common ballot. In that sense and under this condition, we have accepted the rotating presidency, in the context of the current negotiations” for a political settlement, he said.
He explained that in a six year presidency term, the President during the first four years will be a Greek Cypriot and the Vice President a Turkish Cypriot, and during the last two years they will change offices.
“This safeguards the unity of the people, the unity of the social classes and not the unity of the one or the other community”, he stressed.
So what do you call a rotating presidency?
Neither Christofias, nor me or most of the others consider RP as a concessin from GC side. Only a reatrd like u consider it as concession made by GC side. Got it?
