Talat evokes UNSC resolutions on the solution of the Cyprus problem

Turkish Cypriot daily Kibrisli newspaper (06.08.10) reports that the former Turkish Cypriot leader, Mehmet Ali Talat has expressed the view that the recent ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Kosovo is against the Turkish Cypriots.
In an interview with Kibrisli, Talat noted that the Court has directly referred to Cyprus and in a sense said that the TRNC, breakaway regime in the occupied part of the island, will not be recognized. Asked how he assesses the ICJs ruling, Talat recalled that the ruling stated that there are no UN Security Council resolutions on the final status of Kosovo like in the case of Cyprus, regarding non-recognition of the TRNC. Talat points out that the UN Security Council has decided that the solution in Cyprus will be a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, with single citizenship and single sovereignty.

Evaluating the negotiations to reach a solution to the Cyprus problem, Talat reiterated the view that resuming the talks with the property issue was a great mistake, adding that they should have resumed with the chapter on governance and power sharing, which is the essence of Cyprus problem.

Isn't it our man Chris that is demanding that the property issue be integrated with the rest of the chapters?

[paliometoxo]

Yeah no Greek RoC either!

Nice!

RoC is not waiting to be recognised... it already is by every one apart from turkey. and the trnc does not count as its not a country or state

Well that begs the question how, and more importantly WHY, it became to be recognized in the first place, without the other half of the island and 3rd of her people.

With any realistic deal it will have to seize to exist as we know it today, making its current existence a fallacy, temporary, as we have always insisted.

[paliometoxo]

because the turks forced themselves into a corner and demanded a new state. you have only turkey to blame.

That's an easy one to answer, Shah.

The RoC was recognised way before there were any other so called "states" on the island. All of the RoC's territory and it's citizens are recognised, including the TCs. What is not recognised, is the creation of the "trnc" illegally on the RoC's territory. This was further confirmed in 2004 when the EU accepted the RoC as one of their own and all of her territory and it's people, excluding the existence of the "trnc" entirely. The "trnc" has nowhere to go, but what ever the RoC decides.!

Which "RoC" are you talking about......The RoC with the Zurich agreement or the "RoC" without

[Get Real!]

33.33% is a third, but 18% is less than a quarter!

There's no point in the RoC offering the TCs anything given that Turkey controls the occupied territory. I don't think you realize how out of the game the TCs are!

Papadopoulos, used to say it out loud…

“There’s no point in negotiating with TC puppets when it is Turkey that is in control!”

…but these days Christofias is more politically “correct” and so just plays along to buy time without saying it out loud.
