It's Raining in North Cyprus

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

With this pipeline people will just go use more water. The shortage will not resolve. The water will fill even bigger pools, supply more carwashes and will be sucked up by new water slurping golf courses.
The TRNC better start educate TC's and tourists how to save water and investing in water saving. That is the only solution.

A Dog, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.


Very good Acikgoz. This is exactly the parable for the GC position on Cyprus settlement.

Do you think there is no need for education about saving water in the RoC too?
We've been subjected to very strict rationing over the past few years. Still people waste gallons of the stuff hosing down their front yards, verandahs and washing their cars every day here!

Perhaps you think there is only a water problem in the North?

I think you guys are backwards and the reverse is true.

the parable fits Turkey to a 'T' (excuse the pun)

She has 1/3 of Cyprus, in her attempt to gain the bigger (2/3) share, she will lose what she has.

And that my dear Watson is elementary.

B25, Funny how the only thing out there to vote upon was the Annan Plan and that was a land return for GC administration and a strong federal govt with a GC weighting.

Where is the attempt to get 2/3? Pass it over dude, let me take a hit....

Not so fast, CopperLine.! :lol:

When the dog saw it's own shadow and the shadow of the meat in it's mouth at a vastly larger size, which he went after, surely that is a misrepresentation of what would have happened, since the shadow of the dog would also have been vastly larger. Therefore, the dog would not have let go of his own meat to go after a "larger" one, because the "larger" meat was in the mouth of a much "larger" dog.! :wink:

I don't know which AP you are reading from, but the AP of 2004 had a very weak confederation government and not what you are stating above.!

If it was a confederation, what parts of governance was the federal body responsible for and which parts the regional.

I am talking of the one on which a referendum was held, not some warped interpretation a la Pratis.

GCs believe they can take on anyone, even if the dog is much larger. Who knows, only history will judge.
