You are getting.... old VP
The water is supposed to be for you the poor prisoners of the occupied. And we are talking for 2+ tons per second. Who the hell is the buyer you are talking about? And at what price
Why do you start every post with a negative? do you want me to do the same? where will it get us? of course the water will also benefit the the north but there are buyers who will pay anything for a steady supply of life saving water, this could if they were clever include the south but the target market is somewhere else, the contracts have already been signed and will be revealed after the next round of talks produce an interim agreement or collapse which will result in an upgrading of the north.
I am sorry you got insulted from my insinuation on your age. Normally you shouldn't..... well never mind. The fact is you post comments that have already been answered, or you post totally irrelevant things. Here we are talking for the pipeline that is supposed to bring you water from Turkey. Not for a pipeline that will go to Lebanon from shore. 2 totally different things.
Secondly even the totally desert lands of Saudi Arabia have enough water to cover the needs of 30 million people. Have you ever heard of water treatment plants? They recycle upto 95% of their water. So there goes away your myth of supplying any thirsty desperate population.
Secondly you seem totally ignorant of the fact that natural water although it comes free from the rain it still has costs a)for cleaning it up from the dams b)for distributing it with pumps even though our dams in the free areas are at 500-1000m altitude. Well hear this: In the free areas of the Republic rain water costs about 40 cents per ton after being treated for domestic use. Untreated water going to irrigation costs about 10 cents. We have a hell lot of desalination plants that can provide us ANY QUANTITY WE WANT at the cost of about 1 Euro per ton.. So forget about your dream to sell us water from Turkey, just to bring it from Kyrenia to Nicosia over Kionelli it will cost you 1.6 Euros per ton.
Like I said before IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE to bring water from Turkey despite the multiple technical problems, the question is at what cost?
I guarantee you the cost will be higher than desalinating sea water locally.
In a nutshell your politicians as well as Turkey already know these FACTS, they totally abandon the project, however they still use it for propaganda purposes.
I am sorry to say that you will never see water coming from Turkey. Not because they don't want to, but because it is economically not viable MARK MY WORDS.
