NICOSIA - President of the House of Representatives Marios Garoyian has said that Turkish intrasigence has culminated and warned that if the international community continues to tolerate Turkey, it will be co-responsible for the deadlock in the Cyprus talks.

“Turkey insists on a solution based on confederation and two states,'' he said noting that Ankara wants a solution that will legalize the consequences of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

As a result, he continued, “the negotiating process leads nowhere”.

“Direct negotiations have been impaired due to this Turkish tactic and due to the tolerance displayed by some in the international community. At the same time, the ineffectiveness and weakness of the UN to make Turkey respect UN principles and decisions is revealed”, he stressed.

If that's a weapon, I'm the UN secretary general and will insist it's used.

The courts and the veto is all they've got I'm afraid.

You'll find the reality is EU is the beast and Cyprus is the tick that sucks it's blood and is easily discarded when a bull finch arrives.

"This war is only a continuation of the last, but very great differences in its character are apparent. In the last war men fought by hurling masses of steel at one another. Prodigious slaughter was the consequence. In this war nothing of this kind has yet appeared. It is a conflict of strategy, organisation, technical apparatus, science, mechanics, and morale."
Winston Churchill
