Mehmet Ali Talat evaluated the statements made after the Greentree summit. Speaking to Ada television, Talat said that the picture created after the summit was not positive. He argued: "I have many times told Eroglu that we have to solve this problem, the non-solution is not an alternative for us"
Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris reports that Sener Elcil, general secretary of the Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Trade Union (KTOS) has said that Cypriots have no more time to waste and noted that those who have created the [Cyprus] problem cannot solve it....While we are struggling with the colonization strategy imposed by the AKP government in the north of our island, we must see that the centre which imposes the non-solution is the same". Accusing Turkey of implementing the policy of "assimilation and colonization" in Cyprus, he said that the target of Ankara is to keep the Turkish Cypriots under blockade and take the entire Cyprus as its hostage. "These policies of Turkey, which continue with the support of Britain, are unacceptable", said Elcil.

Given that the failure of the current talks has left the TCs cut adrift, isolated, facing assimilation and further Turkish colonization, is there nothing they can do to help themselves? Is it all over for the TCs? Is there anything to be done?
