Pacifism, in a country under an illegal occupation is both treasonous and dumb!

I can understand you lot not having any respect for your selves but what about your families? :?

Why are the demonstrations scheduled for different times, you couldn't even agree on that?

so that people can attend both ;)

Am all for it, I think it is a good thing for Cyprus ............. if Nicosia opens up I thin confidence will grow, people will mix more. How nice it would be to go get a nice TC meal from around the corner as opposed to the same old same old ...... that be great, listen to a different language indulge in some sweets.

Nicosia, especially the walled-city of Nicosia is where the dividing line of Cyprus and Cypriots has the most proximity. This also means that the armed forces of the two sides have the most proximity to each other in Nicosia. This is the only area where most of the time, in some spots, 18 year old kids are on duty, seeing each other across a road on the dividing line.

That’s why the demilitarisation of Nicosia would be the first and an important step for the demilitarisation of the whole island. The demilitarisation of Nicosia would start the process of reuniting the city first, and then the whole island. Beyond the value it has in itself as a peace and reconciliation step, the demilitarisation of Nicosia could also bring a new push towards the existing negotiation process for the solution. The demilitarisation of Nicosia could be the first concrete measure where the ‘impossibles’ could be turned into ‘possibilities’…

In parallel, opening one more crossing point in the eastern side of the city, where there is currently none, could also in its turn contribute significantly to the building of trust among the communities. The beneficial results of the opening of the Ledras Street – Lokmaci check point for rapprochement and for our city in general, are now obvious to everybody.

It will never happen Bananiot… you’re day dreaming because the capital is paramount in every country! Capture the capital and you’ve taken the country! Don’t you know that?

Your demonstration is both dumb and a complete waste of time!

Btw, I can see your demilitarization “reverse psychology” doing miracles with the Turkish military Bananiot…

Turkish General: “Hang on a tick… there’s no resistance! Oh my God, it must be a trap! Quick! Run for your lives all the way back to Turkey!”

The aim should not be to hide the occupation but to end it.

Those "18 year old kids" should know the truth and if they can see the truth with their own eyes that is even better.

I support the idea with all my heart Bananiot .... We must start from some where. Why not start from Nicosia.
