Christophias and Talat have made more progress than at any time since 1960 on finding an acceptable government constitution under a federal solution and according to an article in todays Politis,there are only a few outstanding points to be worked-out.One of the main reasons it has not been announced is to help Talat avoid attacks from nationalists before the election in the north and also to help Christophias deal with parties in his coalition(who he should gave got rid of long ago after the way they have been behaving!)What he really needs is assurance of support from DISY and the big question is will Anastassiades support him in the final push for a solution or be tempted to play with the idea of the 2013 elections instead by forming an alliance with DIKO and Edek if they finally leave the present government?Logic would of course support the first option but this is Cyprus!

What about the other outstanding issues?

The good people, the majority electorate of the Free Areas of the Republic will decide what is an acceptable solution and what is not, and not Messrs X and T and other politicians.

If the plan is not vastly better than Annan plan it doesn't have a chance in a million to pass from the Cypriot people. What the parties say has little importance. Remember that in last referendum 66% of DYSI supporters did not follow the directions of their party.

Gosh, not only do great minds think alike, they also think alike at the same time.

The guarantees and security issues involveGreece Turkey and Britain as well as the Cypriots so they will need to be dealt with at a five part conference when the other internal aspects have been agreed.But the constitutional issue is one of the most important and finding an agreement on this is a major sign of progress.
