I asked that question, so what's the answer? I presume you know the answer, so do tell...please!
Secondly, how can Turkey ever be sure that the RoC will keep it's agreement and not cancel it once Turkey and all the settlers are out of Cyprus. Once Turkey leaves, there's no coming back.....ever. That will be a good thing for most Cypriots, but will that be OK with you?
Oh and btw, for some weird reason, "you" were in my thoughts today for a brief moment and then here you are. I wonder what that means?
Come on Kikapu, I don't have a crystal ball to see the future. But one thing for certain is that we cant go on like this forever, can we? As fas as you're concerned Turkey cant be trusted. OK, lets then look at the other side of coin, it is a indisputable fact that there was a real attempt at exterminating the TC's in 63. How on earth are we going to make any progress if the TC's were always to play the "genocide" card and never give our GC cousins a chance to put things right? I know in my heart of hearts that Cypriots are forgiving people, if the TC's can find it in their hearts to forgive their cousins for their past mistakes then why cant the GC's find it in their hearts to give Turkey a chance to redeem itself too?
"Once Turkey leaves, there's no coming back.....ever", you make that sound like a bad thing
Do you really believe that the TC's would be saddened by this? Kikapu, the undesirables are settling in my country at an alarming rate, if the meetings do not bear fruit the TC's are at the verge extinction so get to know your people and stop making assumptions.
GR's plan is one that should be taken very seriously by both communities. In all my years of wondering how this problem will ever be resolved this plan of GR's is the only one I looked at with optimism, if you bear in mind that by nature I'm very pessimistic then you'll understand how pleased I'am about this plan, especially coming from somebody who is naturally anti Turk/TC. I had no plans of ever participating on the forum again but I couldn't resist once I read GR's post.
I were in your thoughts? How nice
. I often give you a mention at the office too. Remember your "if she dies she dies" story?
You are mentioned for that and some other stuff but you dontt want to know what the other stuff is
