I arrived early at the GAU, there were probably 200 people altogether in the building and outside. I had a chat with an English member of staff who showed me the hall where the speeches would be made and offered me a glass of mulled wine. Talat arrived late, there was a bit of confusion as to where he would enter the building so missed his actual arrival, as did the gentleman in the gown below.

There was a sort of line up inside so I joined the end and got to shake his hand, as Paphitis predicted he was not impressed. He spoke to various cameras in the reception area in Turkish. I was told that he had said that 5 or 10 years ago he would never have imagined a "trnc university" in a prestigious place like Canterbury, then he had a chat with the Mayor of Canterbury. A local photographer persuaded him to say something in English, he said that he hoped the GAU would improve relations between the two countries ("trnc" and UK) and help end the isolation of the TCs. I had managed to get next to him and asked how the talks were going, he said he was "cautiously optimistic", he turned away and then looked back at me, I think he realised he was talking to a person with GC roots. Politics aside Talat seems quite a charming person. The funny thing is the Turkish ambassador was there, I asked 5 or 6 people to point him out but nobody could identify him

At first I felt rather intimidated being in the company of so many TCs but looking around me, and with the sound off, it could have been a crowd from either community - that's what I find so sad about the Cyprus Problem.

Its links to the racist "trnc" should guarantee it a short future!

Is this the statement of a man committed to reunifying Cyprus? Unless it's just a bluff before he claims political asylum.

Well done, brave, intrepid Jerry for venturing into the dragon's lair and bringing us this Canterbury Talat.

Is the Mayor of Canterbury aware of the illegal “TRNC”s exclusion from the Bologna Accord; the process whereby degree standards are being harmonised across Europe, or of the RoC’s view on the matter?

Moreover, these “universities” use as their premises illegally usurped properties belonging to Greek Cypriot forcibly displaced persons, in violation of their rights and without their consent. It should be reminded that the legitimate Greek Cypriot owners of the said properties were forced to flee from their ancestral homes in the wake of the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the military occupation of 36.4 percent of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus and they have been prevented since then to return thereto. The “Eastern Mediterranean University” situated in the occupied city of Ammochostos (Famagusta), the “American University of Cyprus” in Kyrenia, the “European University of Lefke” and the “Cyprus International University” in the occupied part of Nicosia, are such cases of illegal use of Greek Cypriot properties.

That's the one which has opened ....

Maybe someone in authority should be informed about this grave error.

Would,t you just love that. To close down all the learning centers so all the TCs can be backward like you.
On your bike.

This is the current Lord Mayor of Canterbury. I intend to write to him and the local press.

Good! Can we “proofread” your letter prior to sending it?

Hold your horses, Oracle. Somehow I don't think the mayor of Canterbury, Kent lives in New South Wales, Australia.
