CY politicians have been making mistake after mistake, staring from the 1974 invasion "invitation" to a huge "banking system", the Mari explosion and finally the "haircut" of people's money savings.

Is it wise to assume another f***up is bound to happen while "handling" our natural gas deposits?
I mean... who in his right mind can assure us 100% that things will go smoothly so we can get out of this hole we are in?

It's not all bad, george ol'boy. The problem in this country is many people never seem to learn from their mistakes. It's primarily the people's responsibility and not the politicians, because we still have democracy in Cyprus. You can only blame politicians in totalitarian regimes like Saudi Arabia, North Korea or monolithic police states like the USA.

CY Gas resources... the next blunder perhaps?

Maybe a roof will fall on your head before you get to find out.

Or your head for this matter... but we are not talking about you or me.
Nobody cares about you or me muchacho!

Sounds like our leadership will prevail... the money from the gas reserves will come rolling in... we are rich!
Why? Because we are Cypriots. Greek Cypriots! That's how we grow up... convinced we are the smartest people
on this Earth. Hell, when I was a teenager, I was walking along the Kennedy ave (Famagusta) making fun of the
foreigners, vacationing there. I though they were stupid or at least less smart than me. And it wasn't just me...
all my buddies behaved like that. I bet you felt the same... did you?

Later, when I traveled abroad, I realized I was wrong.
We are not the smartest out there, by a long shot!
That's why the AOZ situation might be the next blunder...

Your thread had no foundation on which to form a discussion so I was left free to speculate on your speculation.

And not to mention that the Gas/Oil projects will be outsourced to foreign companies so there won’t be much manual involvement by Cypriots anyway, if it makes you feel better...

That doesn't make me feel better.

The Gas is the best thing going for Cyprus at the moment and it is a very potent political card which needs to be played very intelligently and be put to good use.

Also, it would be helpful if the RoC takes a leaf out of the UAE's book. Whatever money we get from it must be invested into projects which will generate income for the people once the resource runs out.
