I do not see the report in Volkan as anything more than rumour at the moment anyway.
I pretty much agree.

I do not know Volkan or any of the T language papers here directly (as I do not read T) but I know of it's reputation / leanings. This 'review of the position of the TC admin on propoerty' has been reported in other places as I understand it, but I see it at talk / rumor at the moment as well. I sincerely hope that it moves from talk to action as I believe such a move is positive.

I have little doubt that these moves have an element of helping to protect Turkey and increase the TC admins profile internationaly. I also think they have an element of genuine desire on the part of Talat and his colleagues in TC admin to 'make moves' towards ending / changing the status quo as it exists today and creating an environment move conductive to a lasting agreed settlement. Talat was elected on a 'ticket' of ending TC isolation and working for reunification without 'capitulating' totaly to GC demands. I believe this 'rumoured' initative is consistent with hwo and why he was elected by TC.
I do not see things in quite the same terms though re T interests and TC interests. To me it is not inevitable that T can only gain from TC loss. I think there are possibilites for both TC (and GC) and T to gain from finding an agreed solution for renuification.
