Doesn't the Truth hurt to those Greek Cypriots whom still live in the Twigg-lit Zone!!

TITLE: Cyprus may need formal partition, says UK’s Straw  

Formal partition of Cyprus should be considered if ongoing peace talks fail to produce a plan to reunite the island, Britain's former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said.    

Jack Straw wrote Monday in an op-ed article for the Times of London that the international community must break “a taboo” and consider the creation of two permanent states on the divided island, the Associated Press reported. Straw was Britain's foreign minister between 2001 and 2006, and a senior Cabinet member until May.Straw's remarks came as Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders, Dervi? Ero?lu and Dimitris Christofias, met for the latest round of reunification talks. The talks, which first began when Ero?lu's predecessor, Mehmet Ali Talat was in power in September 2008, have produced little progress so far. In an effort to advance the slow-moving talks, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will host a meeting of Ero?lu and Christofias on Nov. 18 in New York.Quoting diplomats, the British daily Financial Times said on Monday that this meeting could be the last chance to reunite the island. Officials in the UN and leading Western governments have warned that there is a limit to how long they will back the negotiations, saying they are running out of patience with the inability of both sides to strike a deal, said the daily.“If we don't get agreement now … then it really is ‘goodnight, nurse',” a leading diplomat involved in negotiations told the Financial Times. “There's a chance the UN will withdraw its good offices in hosting the talks. We're not going to stay here for ever, going through mindless meetings and meaningless talks.” A senior diplomat from a European Union nation warned that the peace talks ran the risk of failing completely. “This meeting is the last chance for a solution because progress so far has been pitiful,” the diplomat said. “We're approaching the point where it's time to face up to the painful consequences of failure.”The senior EU diplomat said failure to strike a deal this year would bring a real risk that Cyprus would move to formal partition.The stalemate in Cyprus also prevents progress in Turkey's process of accession into the EU. The 27-nation bloc, where Cyprus is represented by the Greek Cypriot government, suspended accession negotiations on eight of the 35 chapters in 2006 because of Turkey's refusal to open its ports and airports to traffic from Greek Cyprus.

Bollocks!

It's not up to the UK to call the shots in the CP.

And then charlies and Brits wonder why there's so much anti-Brit sentiments among GCs.

It's Jack's wallet that needs to be partitioned so that some of the money he has undeservedly taken from the British public be returned!

Because you ignore important things like paragraphs, line feeds, titles, etc, so readers give you the same respect you give them!

When Jack straw calls for Britain to leave the faulklands, Malta and Cyprus, we will consider partition, until then he and anyone else on this mindset can fuck themselves.

Cheers

You Twat. Those are British islands like Cyprus was prior to 1960 when they were terrorised by the Greek EOKA terrorists into submission to sign to away as a republic you fool. But, Great Britain Never loses and Never forgets the women, men and children it had lost in its campaign against your blood thirsty Greek Junta nationalists. On the table, they tricked you into signing the 1960 partnership and now it's divide and Rule Dumbo. Who is going to remove the TRNC or the British bases? You? Fool, stop being so stupid and think if you can for one second. The island of cyprus was Part Ottoman and Part British, where the British made a serious mistake after 1923 in trusting the Greeks on the island, like how our people trusted the Greek in Crete.

Here's an Open secret, The Cyprus issue is over, THREE states, partitioned; British bases, the GC-ROC and the TRNC.

I recently visited the BRITISH memorial in GIRNE and saw a very famous British personality leave a token of respect to those British servicemen and Their families KILLED by the EOKA......he was furious when he walked away, AND it WAS NOT Jack Straw.

I am keeping low until things change and then will be back to laugh my head off on this pathetic forum everyone laughs about.
