Wasting everyone's time, that's what you are doing Kimon. Only recognised states have a continental shelf and the British Bases only have access by the water ways. You do believe in your myths don't you. As a teacher I fully abide to Dionysios Solomo's legacy of "only the truth serves national interests".

Oh, I see!! So Britain is not a recognised state right? And therefore, the provisions of the Annan Plan, if they had been concluded and signed by all parties and ratified by the referendums would have no validity right? They would be null and void because Britain is not "a recognised state" eh?? Shame on you "teacher". Axios o misthos sou graikile. How much was it? 30 argyria or 35.000 UKP like Don's?

P.S. Actually I should be laughing at you. But I can not, knowing that you are contaminating our youth with the rotten-Stalinist products of your sick mind. Tragic.

Rubbish, the Bases are not a recognised state. By the way, welcome back!

Welcome back?

Right. Whatever you say, YOU are the "teacher", after all.

If it is so important to you, what is your profession? So that we play in an even field.

Kimon, are you now saying that the bases are part of Britain? The Bases are not a state of their own, I thought we all agree on this, do we? How in heaven can they have continental shelf? And, what is a stalinist, care to inform me, for I have been accused of many things in this forum, but stalinist ... it is the first time.

[wyoming cowboy]

through the annan plan, the bases would of had their own economic zone, read Kimons post, that refers to the bases......

You MUST be kidding me. Are you telling me you didn't know?? You have never heard anything about the "sovereign British bases"? or the "sovereignty of the bases"? The British bases are as British as ....London. Christ. Stop pretending ignorance. Didn’t you read the official text I posted? Try again:

Cyprus shall not claim, as part of its territorial sea, waters lying between the lines described in the report referred to in the Additional Protocol to this Treaty.”

2. The lines referred to in Section 3……

3. The United Kingdom shall continue to enjoy complete and unimpeded access for any purpose whatsoever to the waters lying between the waters which the United Cyprus Republic shall not claim adjacent to the eastern part of the Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area adjoining the sea (which part is marked on Map A with an area of 16.10 sq. km), and the waters which the United Cyprus Republic shall not claim adjacent to the western part of the Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area adjoining the sea (which is marked on Map A with an area of 5.01 sq km).

And, what is a stalinist, care to inform me, for I have been accused of many things in this forum, but stalinist ... it is the first time.

It's the worst kind of communism. It still survives only in Greece (KKE) and Cyprus (Akel). They were the best forgers of history. They would go as far as reprinting and retouching taking out from them persons whom they had eliminated as traitors and such, so that people would not wonder how come such traitors were once taking photos next to little father (Stalin).

And by the way. Since you asked, I am a lawyer. So if you need any further clarifications on the provisions of the Annan Plan, Please feel free to ask.

[Bananiot]

No cowboy, the Annan Plan did not touch the colonial regime of the bases, as it was agreed in 1960. The only change that was incorporated in the plan was the return of half their total area to the Federal Republic of Cyprus, with 90% going to the GC state and 10% to the TC state. As things stand now, we did the Brits a favour for they have not returned one inch.

So, one needs to be a member of AKEL or at least a sympathiser, to qualify to be a stalinist. I have news for you. One can be a stalinist without having any relation with AKEL. I am trying to help you you out here for I have nothing to do with AKEL, as most people here know. I do not hide my ideological or political preferences and I would be happy to tell you too, of how I have voted in the elections, the politicians I sympathise and so on. I am an open book. Remember, the truth and only the truth has real national value.

There is no truth in your claim that the bases have a Continental Shelf (according to the Annan Plan). The bases were given total access through the sea ways and this is again, for practical reasons. In 2003-2004 this was turned upside down by those opposing the efforts for solution in order to win over the unsuspecting. In case you haven't noticed, we rejected the Plan, so really there is no need to continue with the lie.

I will not comment on your profession, but in case it makes you feel any better, you can keep commenting on my job.
