I just cannot see it any other way than if he agrees to anything the TRNC side will be happy with, it will greatly displease the GCs. And, probably, vice versa.
As it all has to go to referendum anyway I sometimes wonder what the point of the 'talks' are at all. Why not just ask the people? It would be quicker - and the result could probably be reliably predicted (if the opposing views expressed in places like this are anything to go by).
The ECHR decision has, to my mind, made it clear that there are some things that can and will be 'imposed' on one or other side, whether they like it or not. Makes me wonder just how much or how many decisions will end up 'being imposed' if, as seems to be the case, they just cannot, or cannot show themselves to be capable of 'sorting it out themselves'.
People will come to realise that all the clamouring to get into the EU 'club' and the rejoicing at being allowed in does not just result in lots of 'handouts' and 'back up' from the other members - it does also result in them having to abide by a lot of laws and decisions made centrally.
After such a long discussion if they have not agreed on anything, then they should pack up and go home. I suspect not, otherwise UN would not ask for such a statement if there was no agreement. Just because it favours one side or the other is not a good enough reason not make statement.
What is even more amazing is the fact that even UN is siding with Talat rather then Eroglu. And there was my patriot GC friends and Kicks baby thinking that It did not matter as Turkey was in control in the north.
What ever next?
