No worries Bill, there's 80 million turds to piss in it to bring it back up, cos that's all the TCs will be drinking.

I am sure Lordo has an explanation for this...

[Lordo]

there is nothing to explain. terggy has more water than she needs and water is more valuable then oil.
he he he he - water by the glass, 10 euros for my friends from the south of the border.

"Turkey has nore water than she needs" yet Turkish climatologists and hydrologists are worried about the lake drops that range between 50 and 99 per cent.

Piling evidence that desalination was the better idea from the start.

...indeed, water is not something that can be taken lightly any longer; it is not "free". what is apparently clear is that the management of this resource is still not a priority for the occupation regime. what seems to be the topic is "control", between Turkey and itself, more like the proceeds of a plunder, rather than an effort to demonstrate wise choices.

I agree, but according to Lordo, TCs want to be controlled.

[Lordo]

when something is given free, how is it used to control. certainly we will have a private company distributing it. the source is free. it is a gift. a thank you for all the bases you have given us. in reality half the water should go to my friends in groc. as they are equally responsible for the gift of bases in trnc to terggy. and they are thankful. onest.

[repulsewarrior]

...don't make me laugh, the water is free; you mean to say that the product, water, costs so little compared to the cost of its handling, that it may as well be free.

dude, don't think that you deluding yourself will delude us into thinking that Turkey has nothing no good in mind, certainly for Cypriots whether Turkish or Greek, with the investment she's made in this project.

[Lordo]

rw nobody will force anybody to buy this water. i can only tell you what the president has said. he has said the water is free. it does not mean that terggy gets nothing in return. terggy has had bases on cyprus soil since 1974. i think you will find that that is recompensing her sufficiently. What is wrong with water being sold at a price. i wonder what would israel say if terggy decided to pay for a pipe to be constructed to her soil. would they do what the gcs are doing. would they question how much water would cost, i suspect not. water is an international commodity and has a price, just like oil and gas. in fact terggy allows her water to flow into syria and iraq for free.

A small update...

The news on the Fairplayer is that it is travelling southwards in the North Atlantic.

Its destination is given as Cape Town.

We know that it is contracted to work offshore NW Australia in the Spring.

Chances are that we and "kktc su temin projesi" won't be seeing it in the Eastern Med for a long, long time.
