i get the feeling some rejectionists are stoking up the fires to delay the talks till anastasiades comes up for elections hoping he loses.
Loada rubbish.
This case has been political from the outset and it's getting more and more political with more and more charges, particularly if the suspicions that the TA are involved are true. The "authorities" are looking to silence the couple and their dissenting voices and to set an example for others.
It's about punishment cousin Lesho, for the CY couple's outspoken criticism of the regime of "trnc", criticism that goes back years, and it's about a flag, the flag that the couple have waved on many occasions (and waved with patriotic pride) - the symbol of their country, the Flag of the Republic, their flag.
Now, cousin Vromo, stop what you're doing and ask yourself if the "authorities/TA" would bat an eyelid if you waved your soiled sovraga from the end of a pole in public...!!!...???
