The lake before and after a cut in the bar...

[bill cobbett]

Journalist Mehmet Levent is sceptical about this "kktc su temin projesi".

Sceptical about the increasing dependency on Turkey if it's ever completed and sceptical as to whether there is surplus water in Turkey after the worst drought in years and whether really this project is about a matter of faith above substance.

Writing in Afrika, according to the CY PIO, he says last week...

"... "However, experts believe that this water will not be freedom for the Turkish Cypriots, but on the contrary, it will make them more depended on Turkey", notes Levent pointing out that the "actually interesting" aspect of this issue that "causes confusion" is that the news coming from Turkey are not good.

Referring to the delay in the schedule of bringing water from Turkey to the occupied area of Cyprus, he goes on and writes, inter alia, the following:

"There are people who say that the water of Anatolia is giving red alert.

The Meke Lake in Konya has dried by 99%!

[The water level of] Turkey's biggest sweet water lake, Beysehir Lake has gone down 15 meters!

The level of water in many big dams went down in dangerous dimensions.

Do all these not show that a drought problem exists in Turkey?

Turkey's Forests' and Water Affairs' Minister Veysel Eroglu had also stated this: 'Drought exists, but with God's help, there is no interruption in water supply'. (!)

Bringing millions of cubic meters of water with undersea pipelines to the TRNC, in spite of the drought which Turkey is facing, will surely also happen again with God's help! ..."

Silly buggers like Weirdo best not look at the image below.

It's of the the Alakopru Dam, the source of the so far mythical water for "kktc su temin projesi".

Picture is of the finished dam from earlier this year.

Something seems to be missing, Freako.

Can you tell us what's missing...???

[Lordo]

you see unlike the roc there is no investment coming in from outside and on top of that we are not allowed to trade either. can you imagine two international airports but no rights to land for something or other. but i tell you what we shall use a few vissagorottos to build our own dam just as they can be pulled out of your ass. hows that.

Erdogans has been running his mouth since 04 about water from turkey nothing has come of it and never will. There are natural gas deposits that will feed all of Europe around Cyprus that's a fact..ask Noble and Halibutton their shops have been set up and they are only doing business with the RoC

[Lordo]

this is where you are wrong. it is almost finished.

[bill cobbett]

Yes, yes, yes ... of course it is, but can you tell us what vital ingredient is missing from this damned Dam...
