sure a good thing but as the saying goes there is no free lunch...who is gonna pay for it?...who is gonna own it?...will be privatized and charged at extortion rates?...will it be a carrot and the stick arrangement?...will it be paid from the turkey handouts, read from the austerity package...meaning less money for ths tcs?...

questions...questions...so many questions...perhaps bayaraki boy could enlighten us...

If the RoC had any sense (as if) they would form a commercial partnership in this scheme and be a partner with favourable status rather than a bystander who will just end up as a cash customer, paying for water at the going rate.

Who will sign? Turkey does not recognize ROC as a state!!!!

Doesn't have to be the RoC gov that signs, in fact it needs to be a private RoC company that will part finance the project. Where their funds come from is not an issue.

Your stupidity knows no bounds!

You expect a sovereign UN member to collaborate with the illegal occupier, to supposedly bring water from Turkey?

Have you started Turkish hashish lately?

Lets face it, that the Alaköprü Dam is being built for the city of Alaköprü and it's immediate surrounding area to supply water to them. The Alaköprü Dam is not being built for the purpose of bringing water to the "trnc", even though that's how it is being projected by Turkey/"trnc" for political purposes. I have my doubts that water will be able to be piped to the north from engineering and costs point of view.

We are led to believe that a costly feasability study has already been done in conjunction with a Scandinavian(?) engineering company.

if this project goes ahead a new industry will sprout...water smuggling from the free areas to the occupied areas...especially for the scummies as they seem to pay more for everything in north than the locals...

I don't know how you arrive at that. You haven't got enough water for yourselves, let alone smuggle it North. If there is going to be any smuggling, it will be in the other direction.
