The return of Morphou, Famagusta and the line that connects the two towns including villages like Asha, Vatyli, Lysi, and Kontea, as well as part of the Karpas peninsula, are among the things that the Greek Cypriot side is proposing, Sigma TV station reveals.



The Greek Cypriot side proposes that the territorial adjustments should be such that in all 100,000 refugees would be able to return under Greek Cypriot administration, something that would in turn also greatly facilitate the property issue. In essence that would leave the question of how the property of 60,000 Greek Cypriot refugees under Turkish Cypriot administration would be sorted out.



Furthermore, the Greek Cypriot side wants that after a transitional period all Cypriots should be able to enjoy the four freedoms without exception. In other words, a Greek Cypriot should be able to buy a house or open a business in Kyrenia, with the only difference being that he would not have the right to vote in Kyrenia so as not to affect the balance in the Turkish Cypriot federated state.



The Greek Cypriot side has set a ceiling of 50,000 to the number of Turkish settlers who would remain and become citizens of the United Republic of Cyprus, as Sigma calls it.



As regards the question of the executive power, President Christofias made it clear that if Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu does not reaffirm what had previously been agreed with Talat, namely the rotating presidency with weighted cross-voting, he would go back to the previous Greek Cypriot position of Greek Cypriot president and Turkish Cypriot vice president.



Finally, the Greek Cypriot side under no circumstances will accept that the solution become EU primary law, as the Turkish side wants.



Sigma goes on to say that there was high drama just before the UN S-G made his statement and the precondition for calling a multilateral conference was added only after President Christofias’ insistence. Moreover, according to a diplomatic source, President Christofias made it clear to Ban Ki-moon that if he ignores the Security Council resolutions and our side’s positions and proceeds to call a multilateral conference, then he will call on the countries in the Security Council that support Cyprus not to adopt any of his reports again and even adopt a resolution that exposes him. The source added that the S-G assured him that he has no intention of ignoring the Security Council resolutions on Cyprus.....................

UN S-G made his statement and the precondition for calling a multilateral conference was added only after President Christofias’ insistence.

Thought the National Council said a 'multilateral conference' was one of the 3 Nos?

President Christofias made it clear to Ban Ki-moon that if he ignores the Security Council resolutions and our side’s positions and proceeds to call a multilateral conference, then he will call on the countries in the Security Council that support Cyprus not to adopt any of his reports again and even adopt a resolution that exposes him.

But what about the countries in the UNSG that don't support CY will they not have a say in any resolution? Looks like some wishful thinking by Sigma.

They must be mad if they are proposing no voting rights in the area that you live in. That is not democratic and should not be part of the deal.

I hope that in any State there will be a representation of the other community.

Actually even reading my own sentences I cringe at what this society is going to be built upon

Halilee, those are Christofias proposals, not the GC proposals.
