Now I understand that things are actually improving, and relations will eventually be normalised, but the Cypriot mentality has to be the 8th wonder of the world....

[Get Real!]

Didn't you read the article?

Charges of crimes against humanity filed against Cuban President Fidel Castro are proceeding "quite well," despite a lack of support from the Bush administration and self-proclaimed human-rights groups, according to Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
Judicial Watch is a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group.

Does anyone else think that Christofias would have been better off visiting Washington DC and meeting with President Obama, who really is someone who could pressure Ankara to change its stance towards Cyprus, or am I just being silly?

Dare I also say that Cyprus would have been better off opening an embassy in Wellington, New Zealand. There is a sizeable Cypriot community in New Zealand, and this country has a much higher standing within the international arena than Cuba.

So why would Cyprus open an embassy in Cuba and overlook New Zealand?

What is your point?

All it states is that one criminal does not support the charges for crimes against humanity committed by another criminal.

Let's just call it solidarity between criminals!

Fidel Castro’s Abusive Machinery Remains Intact

Perhaps if you read your own links you wouldn't be so puzzled ...

''I must admit that we have delayed the opening of an embassy in Cuba for various reasons, financial and other, due to the (1974) Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus,'' Christofias said, adding despite the fact that Cyprus is one of the last EU member-states to open an embassy in Cuba, Cyprus was and remain one of Cuba's first friendly countries.

He also expressed hope that US President Barack Obama will proceed with bold steps towards this direction, given that he has declared a liberal approach in international affairs and the problems humanity is facing.

Thanks for that, but that was spotted.

A country such as Cyprus, which has limited diplomatic resources, is probably the only EU country that does not have consular services in New Zealand.

So why not open an embassy in New Zealand, for the benefit of expat Cypriots, and to also develop trade and diplomatic links with a nation of higher standing?

The Cypriot embassy in Australia is accredited in New Zealand as well.

Yes I do know this Kurupetos.

They are also very incompetent.

The Cyprus High Commissioner is George Iacovou's nephew, and he has the intelligence and mannerisms of a spastic buffoon.

I remember one Australian Politician actually being bewildered at the fact that Cyprus has sent this idiot to diplomatically represent the RoC in Australia.

But I seriously believe that NZ is an important enough country to have its own RoC embassy. NZ should certainly be a higher priority than Cuba.

Then do a thread on that since your attempt to rubbish Castro and Cyprus' embassy has proven a non-starter!
