i've been out of the forum for a good while and I have seen many things change over the last few months but one thing that hasnt changed is this forum! if this attitude prevails then Cyprus is well and trully f****d.
We have seen Greece falling apart. Day to day thnings are getting worse there. Do people honestly think Greece will give a shit about Cyprus now? They have much bigger problems on their plate than the stupid whims of our stupid politicians.
Turkey is slowly but surely implementing her will on Cyprus. All the advantages that Cyprus had in her hands over the years are now being erroded bit by bit. Our stupid politicians have let all these advantages trickle through their fingers pursuing idealistic dreams. Yes, us GCs do have very valid grievances but unfortunately, we dont live in an ideal world.
Our politicians cant agree a common strategy on how to solve our problem. We go from bad to worse. We need to take the initiative and make bold steps. We sit back and watch Turkey gaining ground and yet we think that they are not being genuine in wanting to solve the problem, instead putting it all down to communication games to fool the international community. If that is what we think we should be calling Turkeys bluff. But no. We don't. We just sit and complain about injustices being inflicted on us by others.
Take what has happened in the UK. Two political parties from opposite ends of the spectrum have come together to govern the UK. This was to most people inconceivable yet it happened. Surely if the brits can do it then it can happen in Cyprus too. We need a solution fast because being in a situation where we have no control or say in what happens in the north we will surely loose everything. Better to be in a situation where we can have some say and some control in a less than ideal solution than to let things pass us by again. A solution will create a new momentum in Cyprus which will open up so many opportunities for all of us and make Cyprus the jewel that it is.
