wot's the roc doing?

It’s in the Republic’s interests that Turkey fails miserably by the end of the year, so that the EU will remove Turkey from the ”European countries” list once and for all, so that the new hostile phase may begin!

And I’ll be ready for all the action with the popcorn!

this mañana attitude's to reactive for my liking... can't u lot hurry it up a little? gaddafi's about to topple.... the middle east oligarchies are gonna follow like dominoes; and the cyps are scratching their arses waiting for europe do do something....

Let’s not confuse all that is happening!

(1) The Arab/Muslims want non despotic regimes with more freedoms for a better future but there is no relevance to the CyProb!

(2) The TCs are upset because they will no longer be able to monopolize the occupied territory so they kicked and screamed a little until Turkey reminded them who runs the show and that was that!

So what is there to capitalize on?

sure... and people in north london are protesting against government cuts... but there's a common thread. people rising up against their corrupt/inept leaders. people wanting change. yes, for selfish reasons. 'cos we're all selfish. but seems to me there's potential for some common selfish interest here.

ain't there gonna be another demonstration in the north? can't things be brought to a head? dunno, but it's at times like this that stuff can happen.

carpe diem, cyprus!

[Get Real!]

Yeah, the TC demonstrations went from 10,000 to 1,000 to 0!

Without Turkey they’re just a village!

OMG ..... Our Halil might get tear-gassed.

Reh Halil, here's some advice (hope it helps)...

..."Tear gas usually is delivered in the form a grenade, which is fitted onto the end of a gas gun and fired with a blank shotgun cartridge. Therefore, you may hear shots being fired when tear gas is used. Don't assume you are being shot at. Do not panic. Look up when you hear the shot and avoid being in the path of the grenade. Tear gas grenades often explode in the air, delivering a metal container which will spew gas. This container will be hot, so do not touch it. Do not pick up an unexploded tear gas canister, since it could explode and cause injury.
The best defense against tear gas is a gas mask, but if you don't have a mask there are still steps you can take to minimize damage from tear gas. If you think you might encounter tear gas you can soak a bandana or paper towel in lemon juice or cider vinegar and store it in a plastic baggie. You can breathe through the acidified cloth for several minutes, which should give you sufficient time to get upwind or reach higher ground. Goggles are a great thing to have. You can use tight-fitting swim goggles if chemical safety goggles aren't available. Don't wear contacts anywhere you might encounter tear gas. If you are wearing contact lenses, immediately remove them. Your contacts are a loss as is anything else you can't wash. You can wear your clothes again after you wash them, but wash them separately that first time. If you don't have goggles or any sort of mask, you can breathe the air inside your shirt, since there is less air circulation and therefore a lower concentration of the gas, but that is counterproductive once the fabric becomes saturated.

First Aid

First aid for eyes is to flush them with sterile saline or water until the stinging starts to abate. Exposed skin should be washed with soap and water. Breathing difficulties are treated by administering oxygen and in some cases using medication that are used to treat asthma. Medicated bandages can be used on burns.... "

am impressed bill

In Libya and Egypt the army decided not to shoot the protesters when ordered to do so. They chose to side with the people. Unfortunately for the T/Cs the Turkish army is on the side of Turkey. You're on your own chaps. But good luck anyway!

The "RoC" is doing zilch.

if this is true, why? is christofias too washed up? doesn't he have any balls? don't any of the other leaders have any balls?

and what would u want them to do, vp? why doesn't talat claim asylum and come and join forces with the president to campaign for embargoes against turkey, and freezing of its overseas assets, pending withdrawal of its army?

That wouldn't work.
The RoC should invest in WMD research, in association with Israel, to change the balance of power with RoT, and therefore force Turkey to withdraw her military.

Hmmm ... interesting notion.

Of course, there's relevance. Just as the Arabs want to rid themselves of despots to achieve more freedoms, so does Cyprus want to rid herself of Turkey for the same. Occupation means the denial of civil rights for all Cypriots. Capitalize on freedom vs. occupation ... the denial of civil rights ... G.C.'s and TC's = Cypriots, not GC's vs. TC's = partition. I'm with ZoC. Time's a-wasting.

[Paphitis]

There is indeed plenty the RoC government should be doing but whay you have a bunch of "Rodeny's" who are for the most part uncircumcised eunechs who could not organise a p1ss-up in brewery, but would rather stab each other in back, what does one expect?

Cosying up to Cuba and other similar AKELIST acts, reminicent of the cold war, will only lead to a repeat of the '74 stuation with the USA, where the RoC may not be seen as trustworthy and not get as much support of the USA against Turkey, as it could.

aint it time for christofias to exit stage LEFT? aint there no one with vision and balls to take over? jeez, what is it with the jimizmeni over there?

the people of north london (including charlies) stormed haringey town hall last night protesting against their incompetent (supposedly socialist-run) local authority.... wot are the 'real' cypriots doing to bring about change?

Would have to agree.

The RoC Government hasn't done anything and they are a bit jimizmeni!

The "real" Cypriots don't really give a damn, and most real Cypriots are not in Cyprus.
