...why not ask for the Communal Chamber to open? Why not elect representatives and insist? I have always asked myself why no one dares to ask that question.
(if Cypriots want to change their Constitution, there is a way, within.)
I regret to say that we are divided because it suits those who have the view that the rest of us are more like chattel or investments; thus my constant reminders that there are Greeks, and there are "Greeks", there are Turks, and "Turks". "They" have become adversaries. ("they" hold the Agenda) and in the process the subjugation, we (the rest of us) suffer remains complete. All about money, the effort put into these projects, for profit, sadly ((by a deep state: read) at least in this case) by institutions we rely on to stand for principals much higher. The "Project of the Century" has nothing to do with thirst in effect, it is why it has taken so long for the water to arrive, not by boat, not by desalination, by pipe.

04] Talat: The water from Turkey is not a natural resource, it is a strategic product
Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (08.10.15) reports that Mehmet Ali Talat, chairman of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) and former Turkish Cypriot leader, has said that they had agreed with former President Christofias that the water which will come from Turkey has a strategic importance and that the administration of the water should be under the authorities of the federal government in order for preventing the two communities from quarrelling.
Talat argued that the water which comes from Turkey is not a natural resource and added: "It is a strategic product. Therefore, during our period we had agreed on the issue of the administration of the water being in the federal government".
Talat said that the international agreements, which had been regularly made by "both sides" [Translator's note: By the term "both sides" he means the Republic of Cyprus on the one hand and the breakaway regime that was unilaterally and illegally declared by the Turkish Cypriots and Turkey in 1983] and are not in contrary to the Founding Agreement to be reached, will be valid in the federal state. "We expect this to be in this way. He claimed: "Therefore, the agreements reached between the TRNC and Turkey will continue being valid, that is they will be binding for the federal government. There is no problem from the international law's point of view".
...can it be, it is Talat making sense (almost)?
