but anw what do you make of this news expat? talat seems to be on the right track saying about a re united land.or could this be because he knows he wont be re elected?
By making statements of this publicly, Talat could be trying to get Turkey off his back some. Think: if Talat is being openly pressured by Turkey, then that makes a mockery of Turkey's claim that North Cyprus is a sovereign state, and is in fact a de facto Turkish dependency. Now, by Talat 'nailing his flag to the mast' in this way, its going to give the Turkish Cypriot voters a very clear choice in the upcoming elections.
Well the thing about this is that most of the north is turkish settlers and most likely want two states so they can keep their land. so it cant of been good for talat and votes to make such a statement. though seen as a good sign by some or many in the south i think it will be taken badly in the north by the partitionists like vp and also the settlers
Well, you could be right. But I am a partitionist too, and I didn't take the statement badly. Does that make me a pragmatic partitionist?
