That's a contradiction is it not? If they agree that thay agree on nothing, then they surely agree on 1 nothing.
Don't you believe it Deniz, if there were no agreements, Why would UN ask for an anouncement.
Muhtar X has changed and has no wish to help Talat win. I suspect he has done a TPapa and is now against an agreement wishing to see Eroglu come to power, with him he thinks he can delay the agreement for ever.
There is a very good reason as to why Christofias does not want to give a joint statement on what has been agreed on so far, BECAUSE, it seems like what has been agreed to mostly has to do with power sharing, the rotating presidency and BBF concept, and from what the GCs see it, they see it all this as their compromise for a solution and yet nothing from the TC side for their compromise on property, settlers, and land adjustment, troops, Turkey's guarantees and so on, therefore, if a joint statement is given now, the TCs and the world will accept the GCs compromise as being set in stone and nothing from the other side, so, in the event the talks break off and another one starts in the future, everyone will expect the negotiations to start from what the GCs already agreed on, which will give the TCs the upper hand. No, I agree with Christofias, when everything is agreed on, good or bad, then let everyone show their hands.!No closer to joint declaration
"The concern appears to be centred around the fact that any document agreed by the two leaders could be interpreted as some kind of preliminary agreement, binding either side in the future."

Well, here is a report from "Cyprus Mail" that pretty much repeats what I've stated in my above post 10 days earlier. DT was of course correct to support my position as to why Christofias does not want to give a "joint statement" on what has been agreed to so far, just because of the reasons what I and "Cyprus Mail" stated.!
I wonder if VP is now going to accuse the "Cyprus Mail" as being anti TC.!
Isn't CM saying that it was Muhtar X's thought. What's wrong with that. CM is not saying whether it is right or wrong, just saying what Muhtar X is thinking.
The point is, YFred, I was able to give you an insight 10 days earlier of the same arguments, which was not appreciated or accepted by some as to the reasons why Christofias did not want to give a "joint statement" for the reasons I had stated, so now, you are getting it from the "horse's mouth" this time, communicated by the "Cyprus Mail". So lets see you guys shoot this messenger (CM) down for giving you the same reasons I gave, only 10 days later.!
At the expense of repeating myself, that was not Cyprus mail's opinion, it was what they though Muhtar X's opinon was. Anyway, any words about Talats 3 hour lone statement about progress so far? Anybody, Halil?
