Newspaper reports Varosha 'to be returned'

Under the title “Is Varosha being returned”, Turkish Cypriot daily Bakis reports that the occupied fenced city of Varosha is about to be returned to its legal Greek Cypriot owners and that secret bargaining is being held on this issue.
Citing a reliable source, the paper writes that the bargaining on Varosha continues at “full speed” and it will soon come to light.
The source noted that in return for the opening of Varosha, the illegal Tymvou airport and the occupied Famagusta port will open to international flights and trade under the administration of the EU or the UN. It also said that the withdrawal of the lawsuits of the Greek Cypriots at the European Court of Human Rights against Turkey regarding Varosha is on the agenda, but no definite agreement exists on this issue.
The paper writes that it expects from the “officials” to make a clear statement on these issues.

This is one of the usual Turkish newspapers habits trying to make politics rather than reporting real news. The UN can't undertake such a role because it needs to apply law on immigration, and trafficking of goods too.The laws of the occupied are not acceptable, only EU law is acceptable, and hence only the EU can undertake such role and such responsibility.
Furthermore if such a thing happens It will have serious implications on the very existence of the pseudo.

I really doubt there is any bargaining going on too.Just fantasies of some newspaper :wink:

Bullshit, bullshit and more bullshit.

Since 1974 we have been through several such "Varosi to be returned" hypes. I remember one in 1976 when disinfection teams stood by ready to move in.

Erdoghan a few days ago ruled out returning Varosi the easy way. It looks like it will be the hard way or not at all.

So if it actually happened everyone would be surprised just as they were when the borders were opened?
