No that is not what I meant. I meant that while the plan was still on the table Papadopoulos should have negotiated in good faith and demand modifications before the plan was put to vote. He did not do that because he wanted the plan to be rejected hoping that he willl extract more concessions in the future.


Thats is not true...I believe Paps went to negotiate the Annan 4 in good faith and he got the wrong end of the stick with Annan 5...The one with the red lines...So you see the agenda was changed half way through...Why didn't the Turks voiced their little red lines prior to the negotiations so everyone could be prepared?...BG when you go into meetings you are given an agenda so you could prepare yourself...Clearly in this instance the agenda was changed halfway...Impossible to negotiate when you also have time limitation...

You are repeating the same old thing without offering any proof...Extract concessions...Please forward some proof...

All I am saying is the agenda was changed halfway through...Its like studying for a Maths exam and on day of the exam they change it and give you an English exam...How well prepared are you going to be?

"extracting concessions in the future" of course is another way of saying achieving a solution in accordance with the European Charter of Human Rights. Cyprus had to get into the EU, the same way it should apply to get into NATO before a decent solution can be achieved.

Europe and Cyprus is not a Bazar! Human rights cannot be horsetraded.

Modern Human rights such as democratic freedoms for all refugees and the right of refugees to return to their towns and villages is a minimum requirement for a modern unified Cyprus.

Then why do you refuse to restore the legal property rights of TCs in the so-called "free" areas?
By placing conditions on enforcing the legal rights of TCs, you are in fact the ones employing bazaar tactics, by trading TC rights for GC rights, despite the fact that TC are supposed to be equal citizens of the republic.

Can you give sources for these read line, I am not really sure what you mean.
By the way I was looking for the Annan Report after the referendum on the net, but I could not find it anywhere. I remember reading in it about the uncostructive attitude of Papadopoupolod during the negotiations.

So according to you everybody is guilty until proven otherwise?

piratis, take care of what u say bc it can turn boomerang to you.
firstly u r the one who is sure that the media who have the opposite opinion from your own gets money without ANY PROOF

secondly when i wrote : they were not taken to court was a reponse to what u said : did they prove their mud in court. so coming to conclusions of what i said is...

Ok, then I say that Makarios Drousiotis is a murder. This should be considered by everybody as the truth until he takes me to court to prove otherwise. This is your kind of logic?

u say that he takes money from the americans...its more or less the same

Quote:
why did pap invide the GS to start negotiation?

Whats wrong with that?

its wrong when your strategy is to first enter the EU to strengthen your position. is wrong when u reject the philosophy of the plan that was already there. if your strategy is to negotiate and work towards a solution ofcource u should do it.

The referendum part was a pre-condition. They made us accept this before they gave us the final plan.

it was sth that pap didnt want and he accepted

Maybe he thought that the GS would stay within the human rights declarations and principles of him own organization. Now that he knows this is not the case he will not make such mistake again.

i though he was cleverer than that

If the day after Annan 5 was presented all Greek Cypriots parties were declaring that this plan is unacceptable and that the GS gave everything to Turkey. And this was the message that was going by all GC parties abroad. And then in the referendum 95% of GCs had voted "no".

that was AP 4. i already in another thread expressed my concern about the reasons why this plan came whne it was the gc side which was more likely to reject the plan. dont get me wrong piratis. i dont believe in the holyness of the UN or the americans. its that their actions is outside our control and what i can critisize is our mistakes. and thats where we can improve ...if we accept that we make some.

I don't think they could do that. They work with secrecy, such move would be impossible to hide.

exactly. but let me remind u, it is the wise president, the wise head of our parliament and the rest of the gang who were declaring that a US official publicly said that the US gave money to support the AP. (when the guy was clever enouh nt to say that)

second , i am really sorry that up to now the only ones that seem to take it from someone are : matsakis, lilikas and the like.


And Makarios drousiotis, and Politis and Cyprus mail.

hehe prove it.
from elefterotypia : ...Ακου υποβολέα: πρώτον, καθαρός ουρανός αστραπές δεν φοβάται. Δεύτερον -το είπαμε και χθες-, εκείνος που προβαίνει σε αποκαλύψεις, φέρει το βάρος της αποδείξεως. Τρίτον, τον πολυκέφαλο και πανδαίδαλο κιτρινισμό δεν τον αντιμετωπίζεις μόνο με ιερή οργή. Τον προκαλείς ευθέως, επιστρατεύοντας τον ένα και μοναδικό κριτή, την πραγματικότητα
couldnt resist :)

They hate him. Because of him they lost power and they will not see it again for long long long time (if ever). This REALLY pisses them off, believe me.

let me remind you that we are not talking of dysi but of a newspaper and some reporters. when were they in power?


Quote:
so what u now say is that the money were not given directly for support to AP but the support was from those who were obliged to them.


No.
What I say is:
Media X has opinion A
Media Y has opinion B bla bla

hehe piratis dont cut my quotes :wink:
i said that your example has nothing to do with what pap said. just read the report. dont worry it carries no dicease

Quote:
could u name one massmedia that supported the AP that you would trust as taking no money from the americans?

No. It is obvious that the Americans would support all media that served their interests.

and that shows your acceptance to the opinion of the other

So you do not know when Erdogan had a little meeting with Annan where he outlined his red lines...I am too busy right now but I am sure someone on this forum will gladly point a link out to you...

BG next time you have a debate try and be more prepared...This goes also when you pass judgement on someone...Also try and spell Paps the right way or do it my way the lazy way, but to ridicule someones name is immature.

speaking about freedom of press and accusations from the press against people. the same thing happens now in greece between triantafyllopoulos and the newspaper eleftherotypia. he accussed all kinds of people, many times without providing the facts. he got famous for a while...now a number of people are against him. yet, tv is much more powerful instrument than a newspaper...but sooner or later he ll fall as well.
