So, who are the latest destroyers of Cyprus?
In my opinion, Papadopoulos and Christofias have destroyed Cyprus with their inexplicable call to the people to vote "NO" in the referendum of April 24. There is no doubt in my mind that Cyprus was partitioned for good on that day. Cyprus, dear friends, has been partitioned and the sooner we understood this the quicker we will learn to live with this and go on with our lives.
The above two, lied to the people in a most criminal way. They promised a better, so called european solution, if we voted against the A plan. There is no such thing. EU sanctioned the A plan. It took it under its wings! The whole international community and Greece, sanctioned the proposed solution. The choice was always between the A plan and partition. When the visionary pointed to this truth they were blasted away by the conservatives, for scare mongering.
In case some of you may think that I am calling for a fresh vote on the A plan as it stands, you may like to remember that time itself has bypassed the A plan. Such a venture simply isn't on. We may be offered another plan in the distant future but it will be far worse than the plan we rejected so ceremoniously.
There is also much hipocricy around but this is of paramount importance in order to make the tears appear genuine. What else could they do? Say straight to the people that partition is better than having the TC's as equal partners in a united Cyprus?
Papadopoulos has been around for a long time. He has rejected all the plans that were thrown at us by the international community. He even rejected the CBM's prepared by the UN some 6years ago, as constituting the "fourth Attila". Christofias also rejected those CBM's. Why go back that long? Some of you may remember the raw that broke out on our side about 2 years ago when someone proposed that we should buy some TC milk to alleviate the shortages we faced. Well, you do not need me to tell you what this person was called by the super patriots headed by Papadopoulos, for this unheard of, treachery.
One may ask, why has Papadopoulos, all of a sudden, become the champion of CBM's (his government announced CBM on 3 occasions last week!). It is obvious that he is trying hard to appease the international community and to lift the isolation he feels deep in his skin. It is a pity the TC's do not do him a small favour to accept at least some of the measures. He proposes, among other things, for the green line to be demilitarised to a deapth of 2 or so, km and forgets that the A plan provided for a complete demilitarisation of the whole island.
Simply, no sane person can take us seriously. On April 24, we signed and sealed the partition of Cyprus. On both sides of the island fervent celebration parties took place, some organised, most spontaneous. The unsuspecting were celebrating the partition of Cyprus.
Among the happiest Cypriots on that day, were Denktash and Papadopoulos.
