Halil, is it possible to write down the proper titles of the gentlemen here?

In your own words please ( President Talat and Greek Cypriot Leader Christofias). Or will they still give you the sack?

What is wrong with President Talat and Muhtar X?

@ Deniz bey ,

here how UN general secretary started to his speech today ..... some parts from.....

Good afternoon.

I am pleased to be joined by His Excellency Mr. Christofias and His Excellency Mr. Talat.

I want to pay tribute to them both for their strong commitment and resolve.

As you know, I have come to Cyprus to show my personal support to the Cypriot-led and –owned process to reunify the island. And I wanted to be here now because I recognize how important it is to continue to build momentum on what the leaders have achieved up to now.

This has been a productive and constructive day. I have said that the world is watching. Today the world is seeing two leaders who are rising to the challenge.

Cyprus needs commitment, vision, and flexibility. That is what I have sensed here today – two leaders striving to forge a better future for the people.



I am encouraged that the two leaders personally assured me of their shared commitment to a comprehensive solution as early as possible.

We will need even more courage and determination in the period ahead to bring these talks to a successful conclusion.

No one is under the illusion that any of this is easy. Peace negotiations never are. But the time is ripe to push ahead. I am convinced that these two leaders can achieve a mutually beneficial solution.

For decades, the world has heard about the Cyprus problem. Now is the time for the Cyprus solution.

The United Nations will continue to provide all the support we can.

But this is a process that is by the people of Cyprus, and for the people of Cyprus.

I carry the world’s support for Cyprus in my heart. But the future of Cyprus is in your hands.

After intensive negotiations, the two leaders have asked me to read the following statement on their behalf.

Has anyone told Mr.Moon that Mr.Derviş Eroğlu will be the president next time he visits KKTC?

so what will change runaway?

Eroğlu will do samething as Talat does .... Road map of Turkey and TRNC is well knowing? There is no way that Eroğlu will run out from it .

All party leaders were present Talat and Ban meeting today as it can be seen from below picture. Picture is copied from Bayrak TV live transmission from TRNC presidential palace.



@runaway pls note .Eroğlu and Ban sits next to eachother.

and here is the speech of the Talat at TRNC presential palace during the Lunch with BAN and TRNC party leaders.

I, my wife, the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister and the leaders of the Political Parties that are represented in the Parliament would like to extend our warmest welcome to H.E. Secretary-General Ban, Madam Ban and the members of the UN delegation

We are indeed honored to welcome H.E. Ban today. His visit clearly demonstrates the continued interest of the international community to bring the Cyprus issue to a mutually acceptable solution and reinforces our commitment to achieve this goal without further delay.

Your Excellency,

Turkish Cypriot people have long suffered from a conflict that started almost half a century ago. Just three years after the establishment of the 1960 partnership Republic we have been ousted from the government by force by Greek Cypriots. These attacks reached their climax in 1974 when a coup d’état was attempted to annex the island with Greece. Our very existence was saved only when Turkey, invoking her rights and obligations under the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee, intervened through the Peace Operation.

Turkish Cypriots suffered from what happened from 1963 to 1974. Our goal now is to establish a new partnership state in Cyprus that will ensure that the bitter experiences of the past will not repeat. The structure of this partnership has been well defined in the past and more recently by the 23rd May 2008 Joint Statement between the two Leaders which states that our goal is to establish a bi-zonal bi-communal partnership with political equality between Turkish and Greek Cypriots and that this partnership will have a Federal Government with single international identity as well as a Turkish Cypriot Constituent State and a Greek Cypriot Constituent State of equal status.

Our efforts have since been concentrated on how to build this Federal structure. The full fledged negotiations of the past year and a half had produced significant convergences in some aspects of the problem, yet some other crucial issues remain. Yet the recent two rounds of intensified talks were productive and I hope we agree on their continuation.

Your Excellency,

As you well know, the 2004 UN Comprehensive settlement plan was supported by the whole international community. The UN, the EU and motherlands Turkey and Greece were all in favor of its acceptance. Until attaining unilateral EU membership so was the Greek Cypriot leadership. Turkish Cypriot people by exercising their free democratic will in their own referendum overwhelmingly said “Yes” to this UN plan but the Greek Cypriot resounding “No” prevented the solution. Today we are still faced with inhumane isolations despite the call for its end by the UN Secretary General, despite the 26 April 2004 decision of the EU Council, despite the resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, decision of the Organization of Islamic Conference and the others. This is simply unacceptable. We expect much more from the international community. We can not be held responsible for the Greek Cypriot “No” while they enjoy all the benefits of international recognition and EU membership.

Mr. Secretary General,

Time is working against the settlement. External developments like court cases as well as growing disillusionment among Turkish and Greek Cypriots make the solution more complex and difficult to attain. Therefore we need an urgent solution. I am ready to shoulder my responsibility to achieve this goal and am confident that we will have your continued support in this endeavor. I also would like to take this opportunity to thank your Special Advisor and the whole UN team in Cyprus for their invaluable contributions in this effort.

Your Excellency and Mrs. Ban,

I would once again like to welcome you and raise my glass for your well being and wish that 2010 will be the year of solution.

Because he thinks he's more excellent than Christofias?

You are distorting the truth DT. Denktash and Eroglu expressed the same "worries" as our own rejectionists of peace. They have always walked hand in hand. They are the same people, all over.

Really Halil, really??? "How happy both of them..., Halil?" And I suppose now that Talat and Ban entered the "TRNC Presidential Palace," you think that the "TRNC" has also been recognized! To post the photo here, that is what you probably wish to suggest, isn't it Halil? What a bunch of suckers most of you (TCs) are indeed!
