The chance to show the world that what you say is correct and TCs do not control their own destiny without Turkey. If the GC administration have had accepted then as they always argue that they are not responsible for the embargos placed on TRNC then they would not have to do much dont you agree?? secondly the issue of ownership surely GC have never accepted that Evkaf currently owns 95% of Maras/Varosha and even on this forum it has been argued that it can be proven that it was sold to them having documents to prove this would be easy to prove via an independent expert body so whats the problem? if you are confident it belongs to GCs then this arguement of TCs will not stand up.
As for any dispute about whether Maras can be returned, and if Turkey would agree I feel Talat has agreement from Turkey but wants to show I can do this on my own, so if you guys would have accepted negotiations would have started about how it would be returned time frame etc and what you guys need to do in return...surely 50.000 refugess going back and the potential of GCs and TCs working together to rebuild this beautiful place would have been worth this bold and visionary move, but I forgot you have to have leaders that really want to build trust between our communites.
VP, the proposals that were presented by Talat were unacceptable.
Direct trade between occupied areas and EU cannot be achieved as it violates CyR’s sovereign rights, therefore no consessions can be made.
However, the government had a propasal for the joint operation of Famagusta port under the observation of EU and the return of the closed city of Varosha to its lawful owners. This proposal was turned down by Tcs.
The governments proposal was fair, why it was not accepted?
Your administration wants everything and behind every proposal they make their sole aim is to gain political upgrading.
Regarding Famagusta belonging to Efkaf, MicAtCy sometime ago gave details regarding this matter and they clearly show the opposite.
