December is here and Turkey will be asked again to open ports.

Why cant the port issue really be solved thru the offer the ROC gave years ago:

1)Varosia to be returned to its owners(under EU/UN ADMIN)
2)The port of famagusta to be admin by joint GC/TC COMM(UNDER EU/UN GUIDANCE)
3)Turkey opens one or two ports and air corridors.

ADDITIONAL STEPS:

4)ROC allows curtain chapters to open and close.
5)Airport in the North to open under EU supervision

I think it goes a long way for turkeys EU ambitions and helps the T/C "isolation" argument.I also think it would help current negotiotions.

I imagine, boulio, because Turkey (and specifically its military) has never really been interested in resolving the issue by giving up anything.

I agree in general now that the additon have been included but why should Gc be involved in Famagusta port? will we have any involvement in Limasol in return?
