Lasting peace is our only hope otherwise every time when one side feels strong and powerful the blood circle will start again. Today's losers may be tomorrow's winners and revenge is served cold.
We need a fair and just solution based on the principles we have agreed upon, that is, bicommunal, bizonal federation that will unite Cyprus within the EE. This will provide decades of uninterrupted development, long enough for old resentment feelings to die away. The generations that will follow will not be poisoned like our luckless generation and this will put pay to the sick aspirations of the nationalists of both communities.
What are your views on the bove Gladius?
Bananiot, first of all let me express some basic convictions of mine:
Since the aftermath of 1974 everybody in Cyprus, north and south of the Green Line was living in peace and security. GC's and TC's were separated and no more friction between them was existing. The simple citizen of both peoples was able to live in security and make his earnings.
That's on my opinion the goal every administration must be looking for!
Now, after this relatively long period of peace some outside powers are trying to mix up the two peoples again.
Why?
Just to have a reason and to intervene if communal troubles are arising again?
I do agree, that there have been loosers on both sides prior, during and after the fighting 1974 but that's over. And there must be no more again!
The solution found in 1974 has given the chance to establish two states side by side and since both peoples can relay on their mainlands no one will be able to subjugate the other one.
That's all. And let the braggarts drum up their voices how much they like, they can't change the situation.
