JUST OVER 50 per cent of Turkish Cypriots support the notion of two separate states, according to the results of a poll announced by ‘Prime Minster’ Dervis Eroglu.

Eroglu presented the findings during a news conference to review his first 100 days ‘in office’.

He said in addition to the 50.1 per cent who supported a two-state solution, only around 17 per cent supported a federation with a strong central government, while 16.8 per cent supported a confederation with a weak central government and 8.4 per cent wanted the continuation of the status quo. Around six per cent supported integration with Turkey.

“This result coincides with the will of April 2004 as expressed by the Turkish Cypriots during the referendum regarding the Annan Plan,” he said.

Eroglu urged the Greek Cypriot side to accept the existence of another state in Cyprus and to open the way for reconciliation. “All should know that the Cyprus Turkish people are not helpless and they have alternatives,” he said.

Eroglu said that he was working in “full harmony” with Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat as far as the Cyprus negotiations were concerned and repeated that a representative of ‘the government’ would be included in the Turkish side’s team at the talks.

He also urged the Greek Cypriot side to adopt “a reasonable stance” and to open the way for reconciliation in Cyprus.

“I hope our Greek Cypriot neighbours will adopt a reasonable stance at the negotiations which are to be resumed on Thursday and accept the existence of another state in Cyprus which is equal to their own state and will open the way for reconciliation.” he said.

Asked whether it bothered him that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his explicit support for Talat, Eroglu said this was a message given to public opinion in Turkey.

Erdogan used this expression in order to stress that Cyprus will not be sacrificed, he said.

For those that do know it, this is the parabole of the man who wanted the biggest dick in the world. Finally he gets to a wishing well which worked. Tosses in his coin and makes his wish and pow!!! His pants get torn and he gets his wish. He hurriedly takes off his jacket and wraps it around his newly sprouted gigantic appendage which is really big, the jacket hardly covers it.

His girffriend next to him looks at him and asks: "well, now you got it, what are you going to do with it?"

SO be careful what you wish for, because when you get it, it just might be totally useless to you.

Eroğlu will be the man you have to negotiate with soon....youll be begging for President Talat to come back.

It changes nothing VP. Cyprus problem is not Eroglu's or someone elses personal problem. He has neither any right nor authority to deviate from the basic principles of TC/Turkish solution thesis. Nevertheless, he is able to cause more misunderstandings, thus tensions than Talat is able to. That's all.
