The above says it all. First he thinks that 100 000 GCs who voted for solution are fools and secondly, and perhaps most important, he claims that we are fools to trust Turkey and therefore we should have nothing to do with this country. Then, he expects the balance of power to change (I presume in our favour) in order to solve the issue the way we want (always in the name of morality and justice of course). In the meantime, he advises us to stay as we are (here is where Heraclitus the obscure comes in) but, like Hermes, he does not realise that things have been changing to our detriment since 1974 and there is no indication that this trend will reverse. Serious politicians from all parties understand this very well (Stylianides of DISI springs to mind) but when the patriotic drums of those that brought us this disaster in the first place (always in the name of patriotism) beat their tune day and night (seconded by the Archbishop, who is now on the look for a presidential candidate for 2013), there is no room for rationality, and this spells more misery for us.
But, fools, do not worry. We can always lay the blame on the foreigners, whose only concern is to destroy Cyprus, for they have nothing more serious to do.
My position is 100% rational and based on facts. You have no arguments to refute my position and all you can do is repeating the Turkish threats.
The only party which accepted the Annan plan was DISY, and even they have now regretted their choice and are ashamed of it.
The problems in Cyprus are caused by the invaders (for whom aparently Cyprus is important enough to send their troops and Settlers here to take our lands) and by traitors like yourself who collaborate with the invaders.
To our detriment was the invasion of 1974. Since then things have vastly improved for us (excluding the last few years which your President of choice screwed up). Economically we achieved what was described as a miracle, and from a poor colony we were transformed into a modern European country which can almost be compared with our Western European counterparts in EU. We have a solid multi-party democracy and we are close to what a modern civilized country should be.
What I want is for my country to progress further, not to regress by forcing some undemocratic racist system akin to apartheid, destroy our economy and reduce our freedoms to the level of the Kurds. If we can have this progress on the whole of Cyprus that would be ideal and we will continue our struggle for this. If not, then better to have 2/3rds of Cyprus free and democratic, rather than regress to the era of the Ottomans when we were not allowed to rule any of our own lands.
