Today in a discussion with a particular group our topic was about this water pipeline that Turkey will begin to connect 75 million cubic meters of water to North Cyprus.

Our discussion was not about if this is a good thing or a bad thing but more the psychological game onto the G/C and T/C.
We know mentally and feel Turkey's presence on Cyprus, but I would like to ask especially the G/C a serious question, do you think having this water pipeline connected to North Cyprus from Turkey will take it to another level (divide & negotiations) of actually having a physical connection to Turkey psychologically would make the unification talks even worse?
Do you also believe that Turkey may be playing a more strategic game because we know that the North and South are low in supplies in fresh water and this might see some concessions from the South so water can be pumped into the South side?
Now this is not a new thing as well because this project was talked about and planned back in the 60's but obviously today we have a much different environment.
Something I would like to add personally having these major projects as mentioned the water pipeline which will be completed in 3 years does this mean Turkey knows more behind close doors about the faith of North Cyprus. If I am a new business man about to invest millions into a state I would like to know it's stability and growth, you certainly would not find anyone jumping to invest millions into Libya at the moment without knowing it's future and stability. So it makes me curious that Turkey in some way has already outlined what is expected.
