Archbishop wants Downer out

NICOSIA - Archbishop Chrysostomos II has called on UN envoy Alexander Downer to respect the principles of the UN and stop promoting Turkish positions.
He furthermore called on President Christofias to request the removal of Downer from his position if the later ''maintains his detrimental, for our side, stance.''
Addressing the opening ceremony of the 23rd meeting of the Central Council of overseas Cypriot organisations POMAK and PSEKA, and the 5th congress of overseas Cypriot youth organisation NEPOMAK, the Archbishop called for unity of the political leadership in Cyprus and the promotion of positions to tackle Turkish aims, adding that Turkey would withdraw its intransigent positions only if it pays the price in its EU accession negotiations.
The Archbishop expressed fear that ''we have already crossed the safety line and we have become trapped in a countdown concerning our historical existence in the land of our fathers,'' adding that Turkey has been following a policy of no concessions, while the Greek Cypriot side has been generous, in the hope of reaching a settlement.

If the Archbishop (who pulled out a coup to get elected with only 6% support) wants Downer out, then the Aussie must be doing a bloody good job!

So the UN can see through the shit and the man in the dress is throwing his toys out of the pram?

Bananiot the ausie is not doing a good job. We had to live with him for ten years, he is a fascist prick who lacks understanding sensitivity and empathy. He is serving only his personal power greed position.

And what do you suppose all the other politicians on the gravy train are doing?.

That's exactly why Bananiot bonded with him early on...

At least, you remain consistent in your hate of Greeks and the 'rational' way you make judgments.

Keep up the "bloody good job" ...

Absolutely true. The UN should stay out of the negotiations, altogether. We should bring in the EU more.
